Light pick…the writing was less than stellar - how many times McFadden repeats the same thing over and over got on my nerves - but the thrill of the story kept me reading and the various twists. And the end - wow! I can see why she has become extremely popular, with long waiting lists for her books at the libraries. Fast read that left me gasping in parts. #52BookClub24 #AnAuthorEveryoneHasRead
New book, shiny and pretty lol
A beautifully atmospheric novel. The stories of Holly, Nisa, Stevie, and Amanda are diverse but diverge together in a refreshingly realistic portrayal of intergenerational relationships in a community. These relationships are at the heart of the story, and are at constant risk of being devoured by their individual desires for success.
A soft pick for the first #BakerStreetIrregulars buddy read. I liked the concept and the characters, but the pacing was all over the place. This definitely had “first book in a series“ vibes (hopefully it is!!), with a lot of character introductions. So many different mysteries meant that some things felt glossed over in the end. However, all in all a fun read, and I would definitely pick up a sequel.
Athena Liu has know June Hayward since studying at university together. Athena dies in a freak accident and June gets hold of an unfinished manuscript Athena was working on. How far will June go to keep what she rightly believes is hers?
I loved the first person voice throughout. The author tackles racism, cultural appropriation and the threats of social media. Full of dark humour, lies, scandals and deceit.

Very different to CoHo's usual soppy, chick lit tear jerkers. This will divide people. You'll either really like it or will hate it. I liked it.
The characters are flawed, and the subject is gritty. It's also quite intense and vulgar in parts.
Trigger warnings for domestic abuse, drug misuse, sexual assault, gas lighting and violence.
They can‘t forgive me. Everyone who can forgive me is dead.
