Books and Banter

A local book club in Chicago for women in their 30's! We will be meeting in-person in Lincoln Park and Wicker Park areas, shifting to virtual if weather ever deems necessary. We read a book each month (a poll will be launched to decide the book as a group) and come together to discuss and share our thoughts! A great way to meet new and like-minded people. Book genres will be around thriller/mystery and development. Open to new suggestions though :)

Malibu Rising: A Read with Jenna Pick: A Novel

Four famous siblings throw an epic party to celebrate the end of the summer. But over the course of twenty-four hours, the family drama that ensues will change their lives will change forever.

So many characters in this book had no purpose. It started off well with an interesting setting and characters but then it just kind of got out of control. Not my cup of tea

I’d give it 2.5. It was just okay. This book was super hyped up but I didn’t get absorbed into the characters or the story enough to feel very deeply about it. I suppose if I hadn’t had such high expectations I may have looked at it differently, but it just didn’t do it for me. It took awhile to get into, and it did have some good parts, but not my favorite.

Could not get into this one. Never made it past 100 pages.

TJR stories always captivate me from the beginning. It was interesting with a lot of familiar characters since I have already read Evelyn Hugo, Daisy Jones & the Six, and Carrie Soto is Back. I wish I had read this one before Carrie Soto, but it wasn’t that big of a deal.
