Pickpick

Overall a solid book that I liked but didn‘t love, which I guess would make me #teamLauren? Original story concept of criminals blinded to their crimes through brain surgery. I liked 85% of the book, but when it came to the end and resolution, I didn‘t care for how that played out. I would still give this a recommendation, though.

Redwritinghood I felt similarly. This is not great literature by any means, but it sure was fun to read. 6y
emilyhaldi I was SO BORED by this book. The premise gas so much potential but I just couldn't connect with any of the characters. 6y

Megabooks @emilyhaldi I connected with Cal, Fran, Isaac, and Dawes. I felt beyond those, it suffered from a lack of depth in other characters. There were just too many. 6y
Megabooks @emilyhaldi I also liked the way the storyline developed between Burr and Wayne. I did not see that coming. Also I felt Holliday made a decent villain. 6y
Reviewsbylola I loved this book. 😍 It was what I wanted Perfect Little World to be. 6y
Megabooks @Reviewsbylola I can see that. I think I liked PLW so much because of the narrator. Interestingly, that narrator has done Goodbye, Vitamin and Sourdough as well. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I loved her doing GV, and almost wish I had gone audio on Sourdough. 6y
L_auren Yay! Glad you enjoyed. Are the four you have left all October picks? 6y
Megabooks @L_auren I have Emma (which I‘m pretty sure is a bail), Sourdough, The Dark Lake, and Beasts left. What about you? 6y
Cinfhen Nice review! #teamlauren & #teamSteph loved this book hard 6y
L_auren @Booksandcooks I have 6; Same for Dark Lake and Beasts. Also The Power, Invisible Furies and Sing Unburied. Working on Manhattan Beach. 6y
Megabooks @L_auren I thought TP was excellent and SUS was 🤢. I‘m curious about your thoughts. Are you going to do the November readalong for Heart‘s? 6y
L_auren @Booksandcooks Yeah I‘m actually not thinking I‘ll like Power or Unburied so we‘ll see. Nope, readalongs don‘t work for me, I can‘t read at a slow pace and then won‘t know how to avoid spoilers 😂 6y
Vblancsbooks I‘m reading this now...so far so good 6y

Mehso-so

WTF? This was a relatively short read, easy to digest (😉) with tasty, juicy dialogue BUT incredibly bloated with excessive descriptive language. It doesn't really satisfy, like that doughnut 🍩 it's good for the first three bites and then you're regretting it the rest of the day 😜2.5/5 stars #TeamEmily sorry @Reviewsbylola

emilyhaldi Add one more point to the scoreboard!! ✏️ Really happy that @Reviewsbylola is enjoying this so much, but also VERY surprised! 7y
Reviewsbylola Something about it is just clicking with me. I can't explain it. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ @emilyhaldi @Cinfhen 7y
Cinfhen I was addicted to the writing and storyline @Reviewsbylola @emilyhaldi but the book as a whole was not satisfying! Let's see how Steph feels when she reaches page 209 7y

L_auren @Reviewsbylola hang in there, it was a pick for me!! 7y
Reviewsbylola Uh oh, that makes me nervous @Cinfhen but I'm already thinking they will find no trace of GJ. If that's the case, I don't think I'll mind. 7y
Reviewsbylola It's definitely heading to a pick for me. Hopefully I stay #teamlauren @L_auren 7y
Cinfhen Ha 😂I'm thinking as much as I love @L_auren I don't think we're in #booksync very often 🙄🤔 @Reviewsbylola I'm glad it's holding your attention - what are you guys reading next??? Have u honed in on your #BOTM choices for September?!? I'm definitely getting the Ng & Ward (I think 😬) 7y
Reviewsbylola No one has weighed in yet but I'm getting those two plus Emma in the Night. I plan on reserving the other two from the library. 7y
L_auren @Cinfhen I agree! We may be better predictors of what the other WONT'T like 😂 7y
mrozzz Love the pic though! 7y
