Review date: October 15, 2024
Author: Lucy Foley
Genre: mystery, thriller, suspense
I chose this one based on the yellow and white circle displayed on the front. A Reese’s Book Club pick. I began my journey, if you may, with Mizz Whitherspoon thoroughly delighted with her choices of reading material. However, as of late I am finding myself more and more torn over her selections.
Maybe I’m getting old, but the sex scene within the first 20 pages didn’t do it for me. That was followed up with a scene of 5 boyhood friends sitting around drinking beer and ribbing on each other, but the next scene was the clincher. I just cannot give my energy to an author that writes of cutting themselves with razor blades as though it’s an ordinary and acceptable pass time. I definitely count this on my list of lowlights for the week, shoot, maybe even month. Sorry Reese, better luck next time.
