Groundhog completion:Book: Three Wishes
Author: Liane Moriarty
Date: 2 feb
Used for task: Snow white task 1 - number in title
Groundhog reason: MC's husband cheats on her repeatedly.
Mod
Ashley does someone getting kidnapped and attacked releatedly count? It's kinda the whole point of the book 😂
Mod
Repeatedly attacked or repeatedly kidnapped? I would think constant kidnapping would work, but you'll need to make the case for the attacking. I'm listening...
Both keep happening to the poor MC... the MC is captured, attacked psychic-ly, gets away, gets taken, same person is attacking them with their powers to try and kill them (happens 3 times already and I'm <50% through lol), throw in 2 more kidnappings and escapes and other people trying to kill her
I am actually enjoying the book but it's very repetitive 😂
Mod

Geez! I'm feeling sorry for the MC! Yes, I think that counts as repetitive!
