so far, film is better

back on my bs

a lot of this is so much more intense than i thought it would be

Much more detailed and aggressive versus the movie. Love the quotes about life and love.

This is just an instant comfort read

I feel like I’m being read a bedtime story this is amazing

I’ve seen the movie and never knew it was based on a book. Excited to read this!

Am I a terrible bookworm if I confess I think I like the movie better?

I wanted to finish The Outsider tonight, but my brain can't handle the craziness of that book. So, I decided to pick up this book.

I've heard great things, and I've wanted to read this for such a long time. Hopefully, I enjoy it.

"It's figuring out the why of things; the final factor that makes a person act can be so damn illusive, but you can always find some motivation if you look hard enough."

I love Alice Hoffman’s writing style and I really enjoyed this book. It was different from the movie I’ve seen so many times and still similar. I enjoyed growing up with all the Owens girls. I’m sure I’ll read the prequel next.

Having a really hard time getting through this. Likely going to end up a DNF. Couldn’t get it read in time for my book club, and it turns out only half our group finished.

This is great so far!

Oh man! This book is a whole handful.

Could not do it, so boring

This is a fun book. It is a wholesome and coming-of-age novel.

This book is really odd. I know that part of this confusion on my part is due to the fact that I thought it would be more like the movie. It is not. They really ran with the skeleton of the story when they made the movie in the 90s.

I give it 3 stars only because the book didn’t have chapters and I like chapters in my books. I also found myself getting bored some and considering not finishing the book a couple of times.

Gillian is so MIA in this story. She doesn't even come home when Sally loses her husband. Yikes

I've seen the movie so many times I can't help but compare the book to it. It's holding up pretty well so far.

dnf so disappointed:(

”Always throw spilled salt over your left shoulder. Keep rosemary in your garden gate. Add pepper to your mashed potatoes. Plant roses and lavender, for luck. Call in lover whenever you can.”

Dnf

Different from the movie, some similarities. Good.

I personally don’t see myself actually finishing this book. Not great.

re-reading series in chronological order

😭 Does it ever stop summarizing their days and lives or are we gonna get to stop and see something as it happens?

I'm having issues getting through this book. I know it's reader sacrilege to say this but... the movie was so.much.better.

nie wiem, co to ma wspólnego z magią i dlaczego ma tak wysokie oceny

Good so far, quite different from the movie.
