Law school sucks. The end.

While I liked the characters overall and I did feel a tad sorry for them, I didn't gain much else from this book. It's predictable and somewhat boring. I only finished reading it just to say that I had.

I've heard so many good things about Grisham, but I definitely would not place this one at the top of a list. However, I'm not going to judge the author based on one book. There are always hits and misses somewhere.

Not a fan of the jumps between, Not always obvious who and where you are
Not what I was expecting - but ok read
I did finish and enjoy this book to an extent. I read it as it's been raved about on social media and I don't think it deserved the hype. Was Good, but I skipped a lot of unnecessary detail and the end was disappointing

Movie Favorite Watch

"The Daphne du Maurier book on which this film is based is on my summer reading list every year. This film is such a solid early example of feminist horror. It’s an obsessive love triangle between three women, one of whom is only known as “the second Mrs. De Winter” and another of whom is dead. This gorgeous film draws you in with a dizzying seductiveness while at the same time plunging itself into your chest and stopping your beating heart."

I was very pleased with this book. The characters were likable and brought me great joy when things worked out for them in the end.

The storyline kept me wanting more from page one.

I appreciated that the love scene was further into the book (steamy too) because it gave you something to process their love interets before totally turning it into a sex fest (not that this book is a sex fest, I just hate books that do that.)

I wish the story would have had a little bit more meat on it, it is a short read. I would have liked to have had more backstory on the characters and more of the ex-boyfriend storyline.

I know that the Aztec gods were depicted based on the actual gods, but I, personally, wished that they were a little more pronouceable. I spend a lot of time skimming over the names which left me a little confused as to which god was doing what.

3 1/2 stars leaning toward 4. I plan on reading book 2, so it couldn’t have been that bad.

I love the idea of this book.
Enjoyed the idea of of multiple main characters interacting when normally this would be impossible. I love the crossover aspect, and I got to read a bit from authors I haven't experienced yet. a few of them i might want to follow up with and read their books based on it. This is actually brilliant marketing.
