Ch. 56 Martha - I was almost done, but I'm happy to be right about several things, especially E &T. ☺️

Ch. 37 Piers - The forced breaks are becoming extremely frustrating. This is the perfect book to sit down and read in one sitting, unfortunately I don't have that luxury today. 😕

Ch. 20 Iona - It's a bit quirky but I love it.

7:51:26 Ch. 14 - I was woken up by an emergency call and unable to go back to sleep. I need something to overload me with information that would dial me down and not up. This did the trick, he immediately lost me at the party and the information while interesting comes off a bit useless and repetitive for me. I checked out right on time. 🥱

4:54:25 Ch. 11 - I'm not saying he's talking in circles, but it's starting to feel that way.

Page 59 of 342 Ch. 12 Emmie - This isn't bad at all. It has a calming pace and features light humor.

2:39:39 Ch. 8 - Blue is the first color I can see completely, and I totally get why his dad disagrees with him about being true blue. I'm also confused about the phrase God is in the details and the devil is in the details, which one is it? Is it about perspective?

1:39:28 Ch. 6 - This is very confusing. I don't relate completely to any color and now according to this author, Bill Clinton is both yellow and a psychopath, which I thought had no color.

6:57:40 Ch. 31 - I'm convinced this is a retelling of Pollyanna with Summer as Pollyanna and Miss Huntington as a Mrs. Snow-Aunt Polly hybrid. I bet they're going to plan a bizarre, not really but they're brewing something to save the town and get her a man.

6:23:19 Ch. 16 - I feel completely misled. This book isn't about a library, 🤭 it's full of secrets, triangles, and drama, none of which takes place near the library. I think it's set in Massachusetts, but they are still so obscure about the "mainland."

32:39 Ch. 2 - It is not as exciting as Surrounded by Psychopaths, but still very interesting.

6:40:49 Ch. 7 When You Just Can't Walk Away: Setting Boundaries with Co-Parents - That was more in-depth than other books. The only issue I have with this book so far is that she keeps making these blanket statements that are biased and reference sexual orientation, it's starting to become annoying.

3:42:46 Ch. 17 - Summer isn't annoying anymore but this book is turning into an adult version of Pollyanna.

4:10:02 Ch. 5 Relationships We (Mostly) Choose: Setting Boundaries with Friends and Neighbors - This was very enlightening despite the app drama. With the long chapters and heavy topics, I'm hoping to be done by Sunday. You need to ruminate on this one.

3:07:26 Sixteen minutes into Ch 4 - Libby! I was trying to enjoy this book but she started tripping. I had to re-download the app and now my reading time is over until bedtime so I can't get to the other 63 minutes unti tonight.

1:14:19 Ch. 6 - These apps are going crazy today! Survivor time! I do think I'm going to enjoy this book and the rest of the series.

56:18 Ch. 5 - This is different. I think there is a reason why I was unable to download the entire series, a sign that says wait until you finish book 1. I think the books are doing overkill on the Taylor Swift references.

1:07:27 Ch. 4 - Oh wow! I wasn't expecting that, this cover looked so sweet. It's probably nothing, but still.

2:51:45 Ch. 4 When Drama Is Your Mama: Setting Boundaries with Parents, In-Laws, Grandparents, and Other Family Members - This is a fantastic book on boundaries, I'm loving the scripts. Can't wait to read the family portion, well I am waiting so that's obviously an exaggeration.I need a fiction break, these chapters are long.

44:08 Part One: Boundaries Beginnings: Ch. 1 A Crash Course on Boundaries - I thought this was going to be the same ol same ol, but she got real personal.

1:32:40 Ch. 9 Casey - I hope that the part of Erin is read by Erin Bennett, I think it's Stella but surprisingly I can't tell. They all sound different but whoever Erin is she's not using her Nantucket voice, or my hope is blocking my memory. I'm going to have this sample some Elin Hildebrand so I can recognize her. Anyway, I love this story and I already feel like I'm going to have to read Kendrick's entire catalog.

37:33 🎬 Act 2 - I was not expecting that, it was pretty interesting like a prologue but in a movie.

Ch. 20 - I remember that death differently, so the movie must have written over so of my book memory. It was really settling in when I was interrupted by life's expectations, so, until tonight.

Ch. 14 - Why are these chapters so long? I thought I was awake but not anymore, the new to me details were needed to make the story pop.

Ch. 13 - I am now a little upset a settled for the unabridged version years ago. This is very good. I wish I wasn't tied to print, but I'll be back later, stupid errands. I may be up all night with this one.

Ch. 6 - There are a lot of details I didn't get before. I like it! I wish I could read more, but I'm sleepy, and I want to be fully alert for this one.

2:10:47 Ch. 9 Riki - This story was cute until I got to Riki's POV, now it's just silly. I'm up to 5 POV's and only care for 2 of them. This should be interesting.

6:23:13 Thirty-nine minutes into Ch. 35 - I was right about 2 of my theories, after that 🙄I'll finish this later.
