Bookclub pick: I was not a fan. I’ve really enjoyed some of Steinbeck’s other work but this one fell flat for me. The humor made me cringe and I could never just enjoy it because the characters were so unconcerned with logistics that I felt like I was just worried for them at every turn

I really enjoyed the story of this book. The story was fun and kept my attention and I liked watching the main character learn about herself after spending her life up until that point prioritizing other people’s wants and needs.

I needed a minute to let this one settle in. I absolutely loved it. I feel like it’s the kind of book I could reread 100 times and I’d figure out something new every time. I cared so deeply for the characters and loved learning about new layers of their lives as the story progressed.

Books should never be banned in any capacity and they should be classed under free speech, which should be protected under the first amendment.

Think a book doesn’t align with your values? Okay, then don’t read books that make you uncomfortable, but your comfort level isn’t necessarily another’s

I adored this book. It felt so real, I loved how it explored the complexity of Evelyn’s sexuality. She refused to be defined by others’ opinions and I loved feeling like I was watching her fight for what she wanted even as that shifted. I also loved the slight mystery element.

I liked this one although it felt a little forced at some points. But I liked all the characters and seeing how all three of the initial roommates’ stories worked out in the end 🥰

I really enjoyed this story. It was such a unique format and so well crafted how each character’s story intertwined. I found it heartwarming and heartbreaking at different moments and I loved getting to know each of the characters in their own voices.

This book is SO good. I couldn’t stop listening. I was so invested in all the characters and loved the way the women were written in particular. The way the author blended historical facts and fictional details and changed the timeline was just perfect

I like to think I hate pregnancy and marriage of convenience tropes but it’s just not true, I eat them up and this was no exception. I LOVED it. And it all ended so perfectly tied up with a bow

This was good but not great. It was exactly what it promised and I enjoyed the cozy holiday vibes and banter

I found the FMC to be less annoying than in “In My Hockey Era” but I just didn’t live it. The whole she’s made a career out of hating live thing took it a little too far for me personally.

I really enjoyed this story and I learned so much about the experience of WWII from Italy and Italians living elsewhere at the time.

I found the FMC of this book to be pretty annoying. The story was fine but it just kept going back to “I’m not like other girls”

I LOVED this Bookclub pick. I felt like I was there at their cabin in the woods with these characters and my heart hurt along with them for the complexity of their situation.

This was cheesy but cute. The story was predictable but still made me happy.

If I didn’t already have anxiety this book would have given it to me. It all felt very unrealistic too, but all’s well that ends well.

I loved this book. It made me laugh and cry and ponder what life would have been like in Paris during WW2.

I just started this book and it has sucked me in, big fan so far. I haven’t read Manacled so I went in blind and I’m loving it.

I saw somewhere that people were saying “The Life of a Showgirl”was written for a world where Kamala Harris won and as a Virginian I can confirm because it hits right now 💙💙💙
