I recently joined a book club and
this was our second read
(the first being One Day
which I read before & loved…).

I loved this book!
I could NOT put it down.
It was smart and maddening,
funny and quirky.
I loved it.

Then I watched the series and
have to say that
I did not love it as much.
There were sooooo many changes.
Some changes are to be expected
but for some, the way it happened in the book
felt so much more powerful…
the series felt a little stripped of the
indignation and frustration…

Though I have to wonder
if I hadn’t read the book,
would I have been fine with the series….
not knowing what it could have been.

I did love the intro to the show though.
It was very retro and fun.

i LOVED this book

i could not put it down.
the writing, the imagery, the story line, the characters.
i don't know if i was partial to it because
it takes place by water
and there are many references to small town living
and lighthouses
and ships and sails and fishing,
that made it feel like home to me...
but i do know that it drew me in
right from the very first sentence.

read it. you won't be disappointed.
(and...if you are, you probably shouldn't follow my advice any more
when it comes to books...i will lead you astray.)

and i just gasped cause i just realized
it's coming out as a movie!!!

and yay!!!! i have surpassed my
(somewhat measly) goal of books
to read in 2016!!!
Yay me!
(and if truth must be told,
then you should know that i have
read TWO more since this one...
but i am very behind on blogging.
it's summer, you know...i hope you
can cut me some slack...if anyone is
even reading...heeheehee)
