I do still think the case is interesting enough to finish this, despite the stupid pro cop agenda going on

Declan is so unlikeable I don't understand how this is supposed to end any other way besides him taking the blame for everything

This might be too much copaganda for me lmao idk what I expected - but i'll take a chance bc my patrons said this one is good

I'm gonna be honest idk why she's breaking down over a scrunchie. He literally told you he never got over you why is this the one to convince you he'll never change??

too many repeated conversations and like, half finished spicy scenes imo - i like when they rescue the dog tho

I've waited this whole time for them to dry hump against a wall :/

I hate this dual narration, like why can't the female narrator DEIGN to put on a male voice for one line at a time??? Stupid
Also he's not that much older, it's annoying how often its brought up. on like every page.
But I will say the banter is pretty good outside of the age thing

Apparently I'm the.minority because I'm loving this. The vibe of the psychic mom and the strained relationships. I love Sydney s rich girl aesthetic lol they already have chemistry!!

Cute so far. Don't know if I really believe that this girl gets so much shit if she actually does nothing, and the boys POV is pretty flat

I like Skylar's "breakdown" more this time around - it's real, she's eating shit foo and getting drunk and just crying alone. I will say I don't really like that Wes's ex fwb is just vilified for no reason. like yeah I wouldn't want to give him up either

Sooo spooky! This has a quick pace and gets right to the scary vibes, definitely makes it hard to walk around at night! The narrator does a great job with sounds of pain

Rereading quickly because I haven't liked anything in a while

I like them a lot more when they're actually together but I can't help but think this would be an easy 5 stars if it was just from Warren's pov lol

Matty is so unlikeable 😭😭 like why is he a nervous wreck about EVERYTHING I'm supposed to believe he's a detective??

gotta be honest don't really care about raphael and it's taking her too long to realize that ghost girl is a GHOST

Currently putting money on "actually everyone in the garden is a ghost" or the ashes she had to provide upon arrival were like her own and she's dead or something. But probably not

the plot is nonexistent but the vibes are pretty good! Woman getting over the multiple miscarriages in an amazing french garden with cool attractive people - and also there's ghosts and she can talk to flowers? Maybe literally?

i cannot believe the women in book club can tolerate this for so long lmao

This is kind of dragging and im only a 1/3 into it - the campaign is fun and I love the characters if a bit predictable. I don't know the real people nearly as well though, and the romance is really sweet but no tension or anything at all

I guess Sophia and Frost are the most sympathetic, though I think the daughter Hildy is behind everything - most is happening to Belle who is probably the worst one

Bad Summer People was unique in that they were all awful but not intolerable. I think this main Mom is pretty intolerable lmao but I LOVE the rich people drama

Fun, not great or anything and she's not doing much detective-ing, but I like her little commentary on reality TV

Counting this as read twice because I'm going through it again to make questions every chapter for my book club

this could be disney world propaganda for the people who already work at disney world - but i admit it's pretty cute

there's not really a plot by i am liking just watching Sabine waltz through history. The very erotic befriending of her prey during carnival was pretty cool

A like the bit of supernatural, whether its Grady going crazy or actual ghosts. Some of the little mysteries don't seem to matter

amused not really by the werid tangents in this: gun control (against), church, how bad women had it in the regency era but how good they have it now, the importance of the elderly learning email. It's so weird

This feels like it might frustrate me lol whhyyyy do people suck up at work
