Life for Adults

This is the spirtual successor to The Game of Life. Unlike Life, you have choices. You choose a career, parterner, hobbies, and interests. Your job is to manage the finite time that humans have to harness the maximum possible happiness. Maybe you do that with a parter, who makes you happy, but takes your time? Maybe you forget about friends and family and pursue the maximum possible posessions.

If you can handle the steep learning curve and long game times, this is a fun deviation from the standard board game theme.

I still really want to try this game..... I might just have to break down and buy it without playing it first...

You might you might be able to find a board game place where you can play it without purchasing it first. In Plymouth there’s a shop that specializes in games—you just rent the “time” to play them.

I thought maybe loving Now that you mention it so much would be a fluke I am happy to say nope not the case. I loved this book just as much. It is amazing how well Kristan transforms a scene into a real life moment. There were multiple times in each of her books where I wondered if she had some how implanted a camera in my house to record my life. I am well into my 3rd Kristan Higgins book, binge bought and borrowed from my library to keep on going. How have I survived without KH in my life???

Great book about sisters, family dynamics and how we (and circumstances) screw it all up constantly.

Scarlett has had a rough life abandoned, in and out of Foster homes, stabbed, unloved, unwanted. Out of the blue somebody shows up representing her useless father great thats all she needs! Or is it exactly what she needs to change her life?

This was an intriguing story I enjoyed getting to know the charecters and where they come from there backgrounds and struggles through life. The sex scenes were very steamy but also quite repetitive. Some of the bits of the story do seem like there repeating things that have been said before.
It is a lovely story about finding yourself, love family and fighting demons and doubts.

A nice story overall just a bit repaetative in places.
