Auburn (57 KP) rated Burning Glass (Burning Glass, #1) in Books

Apr 10, 2019

I must admit I was not in love with this book when I started it. I kept putting it down and walking away. Sonya just rubbed me the wrong way and I had no connection or want to hear her story.

Finally I made a point to finish it and I am glad I did. The plot was easily followed and you could tell where it was going but you found yourself enthralled with the nuances.
That is not to say I got to like Sonya better until the very end. Her need to fill the void and follow really got to me. She had no real self and just ugh. But 3 stars for the plot and originality.

Jessica - Where the Book Ends (15 KP) rated The Grown Ups in Books

Jan 30, 2019

This book was quite enjoyable! I loved that we were able to follow friends throughout the years and all the trials and tribulations that come with growing up.

Sam, Suzie, and Bella are great friends and the book is written in such a way that I was able to put myself in their shoes and relive the woes of childhood.

The Grown Ups was very slow to start for me, I wasn't loving it at first and even toyed with the idea of putting it down and walking away. I stuck with it and I ended up relating pretty well with the characters.

I liked this book a lot and I will be recommending it to friends.
