pickAn unexpected treat of a novel. Told by five women, the plot unravels in an unhurried fashion but we're kept contemplating the choices made, the misogyny of business and how we judge people.
Very readable.

so-soSet in the Hamptons where three lifelong friends reunite for a long weekend. A random encounter with two strangers leads to a silly, drunken prank. Events quickly spiral out of control, resulting in a police investigation. Beyond the surface-level mystery, The Note delves into the profound impact of long-term friendships and the loyalty that binds them together. 👍 book 👎narration.

so-soI absolutely loved the first 2/3s of this book and then it went sideways down the predictable tedious and uninspiring rabbit hole. Still the writing was good even if the ending and the “reveal” left me dissatisfied. Disappointing after The ex which I thoroughly enjoyed.
so-soHow well do you actually know your best friends? Maybe not as good as you think. Three best friends go on a weekend trip to the Hamptons. They put a note on a car, but what happens next they never expected. I thought this was going to be better. It didn't keep my attention like I thought it would. I have been sick, so that could probably be it, bc I usually really like Burke's books.

We're all enjoying a quiet morning of reading before I have to get ready for work. Almost finished with this #historicalfiction that I read for my LIS course this week.
