I’m sure there’s a film on Netflix with the same title with Mila Kunis?
Yes, it's based on the book
Yes, gonna give the film a go tonight!
I read A Good Girls Guide for Murder and loved it! It's the first in a series of 3 so can't wait to read the rest. 
is it called What Could Have Been or something like that? I love sliding doors as a theme but not far enough in the book yet to tell if it's good.
I think I may also be reading the same book, also not sure of the title,

Just finished Babel. I really liked it, loved all the etymology and felt like I learned a lot. But it was verrrry long. Could have been a bit snappier for my liking.
Song of Achilles must wait. I'm reading Pretty Girls and I'm hooked.
Watched it recently and it's really good, hope it lives up to the book.
LOVE pretty girls!!
I’m meant to be working so I’m using this as a good excuse to leave my desk and find it…You are Here by Eva Woods. It’s ok I’ll finish it but not bowled over. Might take a trip to the library as a reward for working tomorrowI read A Good Girls Guide for Murder and loved it! It's the first in a series of 3 so can't wait to read the rest.

I saw the film too I enjoyed it didn’t realise it was a book!
I also loved this one! Have you read Station Eleven? I gave it a pass because it’s about a pandemic but I keep thinking about trying to get it. I loved The Glass Hotel but I think Sea of Tranquility is my new favourite.
I’ve just finished Penpal by Dathan Auerbach. It was so creepy. The suspense is so authentic, I was so stressed out reading it. Has anyone else read it?
I think I’ll start the new book club read next.

This sounds intriguing, what's it about?
I read Station Eleven in a run of pandemic/virus themed books last year and although I enjoyed it, it wasn’t my favourite of them. I much preferred End of Men, Last One at the Party and Skin.
Oh and don’t even bother with the tv show - I watched a few episodes and it was terrible!
Being sucked into the Colleen Hoover train - are her books as good as people seem to think? 
It’s a self-published book that originally came from the NoSleep subreddit. The narrator is an adult looking back at various, seemingly unrelated events of his childhood but as the book goes on they start adding up to one single story. I’ve tried not to give too much away as I think this reads so much better going in without knowing too much! It’s quite a quick read too.
I think this is subjective in how you look at it.Being sucked into the Colleen Hoover train - are her books as good as people seem to think?
She sold more books than the Bible last year (IIRC from an article I saw) so if that is encouraging more people to read then I cannot fault it.
Her books arent always the best for my tastes, Ugly Love has the horrific line about a babys big balls
however Verity is good and I also enjoyed Regretting You.I always say in this thread nothing good can come from book snobbery, if you dont like it, dont read it. I know there are a lot of opinions floating around about #Booktok but I saw something that said more books are being bought as a result of it and how amazing is that?
i read station eleven at the start of the pandemic (which wasn’t a great idea
) and thought it was gorgeous, if a bit meandering plot wise. i always wanted to try more of her books so will have to look out for sea of tranquility.i enjoyed verity. will hold my peace on the restBeing sucked into the Colleen Hoover train - are her books as good as people seem to think?
ultimately, read what you want - she’s certainly incredibly popular!
October round up. I was doing pretty well… and then our new little puppy came home to us on 22nd and I’ve been trying to finish The Night Shift ever since 
Some good reads here though, the stand out for me was Little Secrets.
