Looking forward to this one! Seen a lot of great reviews about it! ☺️
Very excited about this- seen rave reviews about it all last summer!!!
I’m now on the fourth chapter and struggled for the first chapter just as it is so different to what I usually read, it is really good so far though!
My book arrived this morning! Not something that I would pick myself either but excited to start it📚🥰

No spoilers of course - I’m definitely a ‘read a book in a day’ person so won’t spoil anything for anyone but I’ve just finished this and found it soo good! It should definitely be made into a film, it would be fab to see how the different years would be portrayed!

It take me a bit longer to read than usual, but I loved it! Also agree that it would be amazing as a film! xx
Only just started reading, so only read chapter 1! Apparently it's being adapted for a limited TV series ☺️
17% in and I really like it :)
Mod
Just finished this book can’t wait to see everyone else’s thoughts on it !xx

I think this will be made into a movie!! The plot was so good!
Really strong themes in it that I found thought provoking and interesting to read about.
I liked and disliked all the main characters at the same time. There were points I LOVED Jude but then points I didn’t like her, and the same with the rest of them!
I felt like the ending was a little half finished and I was left wanting more closure. Also I think it was a little hard to get into at first!
Having said that, I am really glad I’ve read it!! Would recommend ☺️🙌
What did you think???
This was VERY highly requested so I thought I'd listen to you guys and choose something a bit different! I have to admit this isn't something I'd usually choose but hey, isn't that what this book club is all about?! Trying something new?! Let's give it a go and see if it's worth the hype!! Let me know if you're joining us on this one :)
Start date: 02/02/21
Aim to finish by: 02/03/21
Summary:
The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, southern black community and running away at age sixteen, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: their families, their communities, their racial identities. Ten years later, one sister lives with her black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly passes for white, and her white husband knows nothing of her past. Still, even separated by so many miles and just as many lies, the fates of the twins remain intertwined. What will happen to the next generation, when their own daughters' story lines intersect?
