Same here!Oh I really enjoyed it! But according to this thread and on Goodreads I’m in the minority!
I have a mark/crack on my screen from a key which I seem to have got used to. Mr Comment has asked me if I want a new Kindle for various occasions and I always end up saying no.. although that could be because he bought me this one and I can’t admit that shoving it in a bag without a case caused an issue 🫢Loved reading in the sun today.Didn’t love dropping my kindle face down, with the cover open, on gravel It still works but there are 2 quite big scratches on the screen.
american wife is wonderful (and her absolute best book imo) - would definitely bump it up your list for this yearSame here!
I wish I’d take a photo of the ‘dog google searches’ page before I put it away in box though lol
I haven’t read any of her other books though so probably helped that I didn’t have any expectations.
My mum’s been reminding me to read American Wife for years though.. maybe this will be the year!
I really want to read American Wife! I found prep really boring and kept waiting for anything of note to happen. The premise of Rodham hooked me in but I found the Bill Clinton sex scenes VERY icky and ended up finishing it just to say I didn’t DNF it. I can’t even remember most of it but I do remember it not being as interesting as it could’ve beenamerican wife is wonderful (and her absolute best book imo) - would definitely bump it up your list for this yeari really enjoyed prep and rodham too (though rodham is a concept that very much is on the line of being ick )
oh i get that with prep (the marketing did it wrong imo) - i think i find her hit and miss sometimes because her books can be “not much is happening but i’ll explain it beautifully” - like the drive cross country in romantic comedy where we stopped at every gas station with her and every shower/brush of teeth etcI really want to read American Wife!

No these are good ramblings that I all agree with!oh i get that with prep (the marketing did it wrong imo) - i think i find her hit and miss sometimes because her books can be “not much is happening but i’ll explain it beautifully” - like the drive cross country in romantic comedy where we stopped at every gas station with her and every shower/brush of teeth etc
rodham was a missed opportunity i think and i wish she’d fictionalised it like american wife. you still know who american wife is about obviously but bill and hillary being themselves was just too much. i enjoyed it but i think and agree that she missed the mark in the final third in particular. and the sex scenes were too much, too much!
the concept of fiction about real people is a minefield to me though. harry styles is on his sixth film (as of this year) based on books with characters who are meant to be him and i always wonder if it makes him feel weird.
(this was very rambly sorry i’ve had a huge iced coffee and that was a mistake this early in the day)
Have a look at Close to home by Michael Magee (if you haven't already read/listened to it).Ideal for me and my 17 credits
I have listened to it alreadyHave a look at Close to home by Michael Magee (if you haven't already read/listened to it).
Might be your kind of book as it gives me Normal People/Douglas Stewart (but not traumatic) vibes.
I didnt enjoy this one but the next in the series is good. I loved Rhys and Bridget.I finished Twisted Love and what a steaming pile of crap that wasand yet I kinda loved it??? Ha
