Bookwormjillk Wait! What????? Was it Laura or was it the lady in white? This book is such a soap opera! 5mo

mcctrish What. The. Hell. 5mo
Leftcoastzen Maybe one of those poisons that makes you seem dead but you are not ? I went through all the stages of grief. He would get the money but it probably be worth it to be rid of him . 5mo
BarkingMadRead @Leftcoastzen I wondered the same thing, I can‘t wait to see what happens next! 5mo
dabbe I recall #porkchop hinting to #percypig that he had a plan re: the likeness between Anne and Laura. This must be it. Anne's the one with the heart problem, so Anne's the one who died at #porkchop's place. Laura has to be the one alive and the one that Walter met in the cemetery with Marian. Now we need to fill in how she got there. @Bookwormjillk: #soapoperaindeed

I feel like I'm playing CLUE: Laura is in the library with the wrench .... 🤣

dabbe Just read this from good ol' Wikipedia; it definitely confirms the soap-operaness of this novel! 🤩
“Collins's works were classified at the time as sensation novels, a genre that became the precursor to detective and suspense fiction. He also wrote penetratingly on the plight of women and on the social and domestic issues of his time.“

BarkingMadRead @dabbe for real! Total telenovella, this is CLUE, the movie 🤣 5mo
Bookwormjillk @dabbe ohhhh good theory. And the flowers did something right? Pork Chop did it in the bedroom with the bouquet. 5mo
dabbe @BarkingMadRead Circa 1860s. 🤩🤣🤩 5mo
Clare-Dragonfly Twin switch! I knew it!!!! @dabbe That‘s exactly how I think it went! (edited) 5mo
Clare-Dragonfly I love the inclusion of “the narrative of the tombstone.” So dramatic! So fitting for the way the novel is told! So unexpected! 5mo
Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly yes the tombstone part was A+ 5mo
KAO I did not see that coming!! (But in retrospect probably should have!) 5mo
julieclair I've never thought of flowers as a murder weapon, lol. (Except maybe when consumed as poison.) 💐☠️ 5mo
BarkingMadRead @julieclair when I think of flowers I think of Carol on the walking dead #lookattheflowers 5mo

BarkingMadRead I feel bad using MGGs pic, but he came to when I googled nerdy hot guy in tweed, which is how I pictured this dude 🤣 5mo

ElizaMarie #AllThatBlood - terrifying! And didn't sound like she enjoyed it in the slightest. Ugh. I also noticed how a lot of these chapters end in a #CliffHanger. (I will finish the book now - since I am doing a 12 tomorrow. 5mo
dabbe I really missed something because I had no idea Joan was in such sorry shape. Unbelievably sad. 🥺 Was she attracted to Esther and despondent when she found out Esther had slept with a man? I'm sure it goes a lot deeper than that, but wow. And of course, I had to read Ch. 20 right away after that. Definitely more of a page-turner than LARK RISE. 5mo
dabbe I love the pic and Spencer from CMs! 🤩 5mo
Bookwormjillk @dabbe I don‘t think we‘re supposed to know. Esther is so self centered (I don‘t mean that as a criticism exactly.) But from her point of view we had no clue what Joan was going through. Esther doesn‘t know what‘s going on with herself never mind being able to consider that Joan might have feelings. 5mo
Clare-Dragonfly I love the picture of Reid for this chapter 😂 Though I doubt this guy told the truth about being a professor of mathematics—he certainly doesn‘t seem like he‘s actually paid well! I wonder if we will find out what exactly went wrong with Esther. Did her diaphragm puncture something? 5mo
mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly I want to know too! Is she one in a million that bleeds out after sex the first time or is the diaphragm the problem ? Or being ‘tipsy‘? All this mental health care just seems so random and half assed 5mo
julieclair @dabbe Joan took me completely by surprise. So sad. 5mo
dabbe @julieclair IKR? 😳🥺😔 5mo

Whoo hoo! After listening to the first one, I had to replay the last few paragraphs because I had a funny feeling something was up and now I get to find out! Is he really having an affair with her mom?

**Update - the dedication is for me! "For the reader who stayed up all night agonizing over the epilogue"

I mean, how could I not go right into this after the cliffhanger of the first one? I did like the first one more, but this was fun. Hopefully there‘s a HEA in the final story.

Dirty Billionaire | Meghan March

Of course I loved it, it‘s a Meghan March book! Lots of 🌶️🌶️🌶️, plus I actually like the story. It does end on a cliffhanger, which isn‘t my favorite, but I‘ll get around to reading the other two books. Hopefully soon.

Ethan Frost is a visionary, a genius, every woman‘s deepest, darkest fantasy—even mine. And, somehow, I am his. He stole into my life like a dream. Turned my reality upside down and made my every desire come true—especially those I never knew I had. He demanded everything I had to give and gave me everything of himself in return. But dreams don‘t last forever, and ours is no exception.
