repost for @LeahBergen

It‘s now June so that means it‘s time for one of our #PersephoneClub reads!

@quietjenn ‘s pick for us this month is Greenery Street by Denis Mackail. This is a casual buddy read; read and comment on each other‘s posts and reviews as you see them. We usually aim to finish by the middle of the month but that‘s not written in stone. 😉 And anyone is welcome to read along with us, of course!

This book is amazing and I‘m not sure I can fully explain why. There‘s something about the writing and its snarkyness, the bored stay-at-home mothers and the overworked fathers. And the title as amazing

From the very beginning I felt tense , had butterflies. I loved the desert setting. I loved the surprises along the way , Thankyou @vivastory for recommending I go in blind… I went in knowing nothing and it made all the difference. I was fascinated as the story unfolded and at the draw , the force , that brought certain characters together. What an excellent book. I‘ll definitely try In A Lonely Place next.

Tamra 👏🏾 Love it when that happens! 2w
LeahBergen Great review! I went in blind, too! 2w
