Lacking

Revisado: 10-15-24

Im not sure if it was the authors voice which irked me but that was definitely one aspect. I found her hospitalization surface based and disconnected. I wanted to care about her but her rage toward men and her obvious priviledge kept me at arms length.

Characters are like sand paper

Revisado: 08-15-24

This is a story that promises to deliver but never does. The male character is so weak he’s cringeworthy. The side stories lend nothing. Super disappointing !

Gloriously original

Revisado: 06-22-24

Loved all of it! The narration made the novel sing! Totally funny and endearing. One of the most unexpected narratives for a rom/com

Unfortunate contrivance

Revisado: 06-12-24

I wanted to love this book but found the storyline too contrived.. Could not believe how Angelica came to work for the Fricks after sleeping in the park. Disliked the voice of Helen. Disappointing.

If you’re Depressed — don’t listen

Revisado: 06-10-24

Original story w certain cringe worthy fantasies. Very, very dry humor. Performance is meh. If you like monosyllabic (sp?) nuance - its great! I didnt like the main character which i guess was one of the problems. And using They/Them as a pronoun was a bit contrived to describe their child. Sorry! Maybe im old.

Interesting concept

Revisado: 05-05-23

Started out strong, Excellent tension in most of the book but not enough pay off at the end for my liking.

REALLY 3.7 STARS!!!

Revisado: 01-05-23

I thought the beginning of the book to about the midpoint was ok, not bad, a lite storry about a Professional bridesmaid and her failed relationship BUT! Things began to gather steam the minute a certain client is procured. It is SO worth the wait! I literally laughed out loud and wanted more,more, MORE of a certain relationship ( no spoilers here!)I really hope theres a sequel because .... ( nope, not going to say it!)I

Charming, amusing tale of love and family

Revisado: 11-30-22

At first, I did not gel with the narrator, but she grew on me. It's a simple story with the right amount of humor and tension. The main character is a little difficult to like at first because she's in complaint most of the time but as with the narrator, she grows on you. I enjoyed it immensely.

Exquisite Writing of a Dark Tragedy

Revisado: 11-15-22

The story is expertly woven back and forth from Lucretzia's upbringing to her present-day terror. It took me a little while to pay attention to dates, but it is this back and forth movement throughout the novel that creates this magnificent drama. It is now one of my favorite books.

Complex Characters stand out in this Hamptons vs F

Revisado: 10-29-22

Having family in Long Island, specifically towns just West of where all the action of the Hamptons lies, this story was well thought out, researched and performed. I loved it. It's the regular folks in a privileged, hash tag worthy Billionaire world, and it's the story of a changing world. It's middle-aged angst, and teenage heart ache, it's long lost loves and new love, the sickness of wealth, the betrayal of friends and the twists and turns keep the reader engaged. Again, loved it.
