#Unpopularopinion. It took me a long time to read this book and that‘s probably because it‘s so boring and annoying. Frank and Cleo are married on a whim and this book is about their based-on-nothing marriage and the friends surrounding the couple. Everyone is beautiful and doing drugs and alcohol and anti depressants. I didn‘t see the point. At all. #Roll100

monalyisha Ha! Vicious. 😅🙈 Have you read anything else by her? Wondering if it‘s her writing style you don‘t like or this book, in particular. 1w
Lesliereadsalot I bailed on the Blue Sisters, such boring characters! 1w

Deblovestoread Great review! I bought this after reading Blue Sisters which I loved. Won‘t be hurrying to read this one. 1w
Cathythoughts Great review. I don‘t think this is author is for me , there‘s just something that doesn‘t work for me 😬 1w
BarbaraBB @monalyisha I preferred Blue Sisters but didn‘t like that one much either. I guess she‘s just not for me. 1w
BarbaraBB @Lesliereadsalot I didn‘t bail on Blue Sisters but didn‘t like it much. I agree on the characters, which is a problem again in this book. Don‘t read it 1w
BarbaraBB @Deblovestoread You might like it if you loved Blue Sisters - which I didn‘t either. I often don‘t like books about people doing lots of drugs and partying. 1w
BarbaraBB @Cathythoughts Don‘t bother! 1w
sarahbarnes This review makes me chuckle and I will be not reading this. 😂 1w

#unpopularopinion time. Repetitive AF. I knew going in that this was spicy, which is fine, but there was sexy times in every chapter except for 2, maybe 3. And it just seemed like the MCs did literally nothing but bang it out, so I don‘t buy that they formed an emotional connection. When they did talk, it was mostly about each other‘s private parts. And if I never hear the words cock, beaver, or monster ever again, that would be fine with me!

CarolynM Yeah, I‘m not loving it for the reasons you give. There are a lot of better hockey romances out there. 1mo
willaful I knew from the sample it wasn't gonna be for me. 1mo
TheAromaofBooks I definitely find it frustrating when there isn't any story to balance the spice. 1mo

#UnpopularOpinion

I appreciated what the author is trying to do here but for me she wasn‘t successful. I didn‘t buy the central relationship - there was too little to show how they came to care for one another. It‘s a trope I rarely enjoy or find convincing so maybe it‘s just me. The writing is good and the background story is really important. I‘m extra critical when I think a book could be truly great but misses the mark, so only a so-so.

Ruthiella Hot take! 🔥😂 I‘ve not yet read it. 1mo
BittersweetBooks I completely agree! Plus I found the MC to be insufferable. 1mo

CarolynM This was on my #AuldLangSpine list from @TheKidUpstairs it‘s just taken me a while to get to it😬 I‘m hoping to read one or two more before the year is out🤞 1mo
CarolynM @Ruthiella I‘ll be interested to see what you think 🙂 1mo
CarolynM @BittersweetBooks I had some sympathy for her, but I had to work at it😆 1mo
LeahBergen I have this waiting on my shelves. Here‘s hoping I like it more than you! 😆 1mo
CarolynM @LeahBergen I hope so too 1mo
TheKidUpstairs I'm sorry it didn't work as well for you as it did for me! Hope your next read is better for you 😉 1mo
Cathythoughts @CarolynM I loved the family story. Maybe a little bit too much intimate details for me. I did suggest it for our IRL Bookclub and we had a powerful discussion. 1mo
CarolynM @Cathythoughts It would be a good one for a book club discussion. I might suggest it to mine🙂 1mo

read all 5…good premise but the stories were super redundant in my opinion…my two favorite stories were the lovers and the farewell… #unpopularopinion #audiobook #readinggoal #readinglife #aapimonth #serieslove2025

My Next Breath: A Memoir | Jeremy Renner

This is an #unpopularopinion and I feel terrible about it. Renner‘s accident was horrific and his recovery nothing short of miraculous. This book, however, was so repetitive and Renner‘s insistence that he was responsible for all of the pain, fear, and stress his family experienced witnessing the accident and its aftermath bordered on performative martyrdom. I hope he‘s in therapy for the psychological trauma.

With 76% read & 9 chapters remaining…this is a solid DNF for me. No matter what I did, I could not focus or keep track of everything that was going on. Too wordy for my tastes - reminded me of reading Shakespeare in HS😬🫨

I very much enjoyed the group read setting, just not this book😂🤭

IMASLOWREADER love the powet of DNF lol 2mo

Andrew65 Better to focus on books you are enjoying. 2mo
Cuilin #hailthebail seriously life‘s too short. I hope your next book is more enjoyable. 2mo
DieAReader @Cuilin 💖Thanks! 🤓So very true! 2mo
CoverToCoverGirl Lol! I quite liked Shakespeare. 🤭 I just read Huck Finn and didn‘t really care for it. I‘ll have to put this one my classic to read list. I really liked the movie. Daniel Day Lewis wasn‘t hard on the eyes either. 😁 2mo
DieAReader @CoverToCoverGirl 😁Chances are you‘ll enjoy this one more than I did. Never saw the movie unfortunately. 2mo

#unpopularopinion Oh how I wish the inside of the book was anywhere near as beautiful as the exterior. It has sprayed edges and exquisite end papers. The text? It did not work for me at all. The writing feels choppy and juvenile and I already dislike the MC. 😭

TracyReadsBooks Gorgeous book, bad story…I somehow finished this one though I was generally disappointed by it. 3mo
Blh87 Oh, no! I have this book sitting on my shelf and was so looking forward to it! 3mo
