Finding My Favorite: The Lake Effect Series | Rue
4 posts | 1 read
Breakups. Family secrets. Stumbling toward independence. A riveting and humorous exploration of love, secrets, and sisterhood, It's Not My Favorite is the poignant story of two sisters who discover they must confront their past, let go of their religious guilt, and summon everything in their power to escape their arrested development. Gwenn Hutchinson runs The Organizer by day and bails her little sister out of emotional quicksand by night. Between that distraction and the full-time job of creating a vivid fantasy life for herself, she can almost drown out her mother's post-divorce ranting, "I've always had a man to take care of me, Gwendolyn. You're not gettin' any younger, you know." Rachel Hutchinson, bakes away her anxiety while avoiding a painful breakup with her secret girlfriend. The only people who don't know this "girlfriend" secret are her judgmental parents, Pastor Ed and Shirley. Just when it seems things can't get worse, Gwenn finds a pack of old photographs that may uncover a family secret. Will these pictures lead to the truth, or bring them face-to-face with the reality they've worked so hard to avoid? It's Not My Favorite is the first book in the hilarious, fast-paced, romantic comedy, The Lake Effect Series, full of snappy dialogue and memorable, quirky characters, guaranteed to win a spot in your heart. Buy this book, and join the Hutchinson sisters as they struggle to embrace adulthood!

This was tough, narrowing the books down to just 12.
I think this is a good sampling of my favorite books plus a nice intro to some of my favorite authors.

monalyisha I love that you did this! And you had a totally different take on it than I did; I haven't read any of my picks (so they could totally be duds). I'd love to read “Rosemary's Baby.“ I loved the movie! And I *still* haven't read anything by Frederick Backman. For shame. Thanks for playing! 4y
monalyisha Also, what'd you use to make your collage? I usually use Layout &/or PicCollage but Layout only lets you use 9 images! 4y
MaleficentBookDragon @monalyisha HAHA! I did one of those too. I 🖤🖤🖤🖤 Rosemary's Baby. Ire Levin's one of my all time favorite authors. I also really ♥ (and am terrified by) 4y
MaleficentBookDragon @monalyisha I used Pic Collage. 4y
Avanders Love it — there‘s so much theme variety... just like there should be 😁😁 4y

This book is undoubtedly chick lit which I normally do not care for. But Rue‘s writing was delightful. These sisters are so realistic. I laughed, I felt like crying, I detested their parents, I rejoiced for Gwen and Rachel. Rue‘s style of writing made me love these sisters.
