Chapter Ten - I spoke too soon, and the recent development with Karen's family makes no sense, I get a week a few weeks thos is definitely fiction.

Page 86 of 396 Chapter Six - It's nice to see a softer side of Helen. I'm just waiting to see if there is going to be an accidental pregnancy at this point.

Page 299 of +400 [Chapter] Eight Honeymoon - I have a book discussion on this but since it seems shorter than I expected I'm going to finish my other book so my brain will be fresh tonight, the movie is playing in my head.

417 [Chapter] 19 - Helen and Dana Sue are on my nerves but I'm getting home let it go. Almost done but didn't finish in time so I'm moving on to my audiobook so I can get some work done.

DNF for now. Maybe next month.

Chapter Eleven - This is obviously a replacement wife trope. It has been done so many times and I haven't found any as good as the first few I read so I considered skipping this one, since I've heard so many positive reviews I'm just gonna put a pin in it for now and come back to it later. I don't have a lot of downtime to read print this week and I'm not going to waste it on this book.

Page 14 of 245 Chapter Three - Meh. This has potential but it's a bit slow I'm guessing it's some kind of impostor trope with social climbing.

Page 190 of 567 [Chapter] 9 - I was expecting this to be a few months later not the next school year. Based on the cliffhanger the first book left us on I can't believe Dana Sue has let Annie's situation go untreated for this long. If these books are going to be a new year with up to 3 released a year I'm guessing these kids are going to grow up fast.

Page 197 of 369 MAL November 1, 2019. Friday. - I'm reading this for book club. The discussion is in 2 days and I quickly realized I would need both of them. So I decided to read as much as I could as I feared if I stopped it would be a DNF. Honestly, this is pretty bland, I had high hopes, it's more Suspense than Thriller and it's still bland as a Suspense.

Page 81 of 305 Chapter Twelve Vasudha Patil Garware Ladies Hostel Fergusson College, Pune, India April 1983 - I am not loving this although I know a lot of other people are. I am primarily continuing because I have a book discussion on this story tomorrow. I regret not reading the blurb, I still have not done so. It seems every other chapter or 2 the story is going in a completely different direction than I thought

4:07:25 Chapter 18 Forging Ahead ~ Now - Oddly the chapters are titled for the audiobook, but the print version just says Chapter # followed by Now or Then. It's a bit disappointing because the titles are adorable and humorous. I was expecting a 6 Days 7 Nights vibe, but this feels more like Survivor on Hallmark. I was not expecting higj school chapters but the more "Then" chapters I read to the more I'm thinking thi

[Chapter] 2 We Are What We Own Owning, Collecting, and Hoarding - This boop is like a medication commercial, the more I read the more I think I have the traits and may end up hoarding in my silver years.

Page 17 of 292 [Chapter] 1 Piles Upon Piles The Story of Hoarding - This isn't what I was expecting but it's very interesting, and what better way to get into decluttering mode than to read about the dangers of hoarding?

2:47:23 Chapter 7 Margo - This one is my favorite one of the romances I'm reading, which is surprising since one is The Love Haters. I'm only stopping to keep my Kindle streak up.

4:20:06 Chapter 12 - It's okay, It's funny enough but it just seems like something is missing from this story. I get the characters but I'm not really feeling the characters, they are better than characters in other books, but something is still off. It's gonna be interesting because I currently have 4 books in my rotation and 3 of them have people who don't believe in love and celebrities.

7:25:30 Chapter 40 - The story has picked up but I've seen these tricks before and there are a lot of characters to keep up with. I'll finish tonight, but only because I know others are waiting.

Chapter Twenty-Four - It was going well, but once again she has become a side character as they have spent a lot of time setting up Collins for Book 3.

Chapter Fourteen - It's better, probably my because of my mood, and that last chapter was hilarious.

Page 256 of 537 [Chapter] 12 - I first tried to read this book for book club about 6 years ago and it had a house on the cover. I could not find a book that had a house on the cover except for the large print edition so that's what I got. I Am not surprised to learn that the characters do not match the description on the Netflix covers. 2 of the main characters are blonde in the story but on the TV covers they are

3:18:00 Chapter 18 - This is giving me Chasing The Dime vibes, there's a story here but this guy is kinda dull. I am more interested in remembering which Connelly book was referenced than discovering who killed the buffalo or the woman.

Page 60 of 328 Chapter 8 - This is giving palate cleanser vibes. It's cute.

2:25:48 Chapter Five - I may have to get ruthless, I'm not feeling this book.
