[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After eagerly awaiting my turn for “Happiness Falls,” my loan is going to expire before I finish. It’s tedious and I’m so uninvested I don’t care how it ends. I just got “Cork Dork” based on strong reviews for the authors new book. High hopes![/quote] I had the same experience with Happiness Falls, except that I did rage-finish it, which made me dislike the book even more. [b]I just finished The Women by Kristin Hannah. I loved The Nightingale and liked Four Winds, but was so disappointed with this one. The writing, main character, and story did not live up to the concept. It read like it was written solely for the purpose of scoring a movie deal.[/b] My next book is Chain Gang All Stars, which I bought on sale via Amazon's daily ebook deals email. It was recommended by a Facebook friend as one of the top books she read in 2023 (out of 52!).[/quote] 100% agree. The Great Alone is my favorite of hers. I hated Firefly Lane. So I guess I find her to be really inconsistent as far as my tastes are concerned. I can't figure it out because she clearly has the ability to write deeply developed and interesting characters and create intriguing environments in which to place them but sometimes she just totally phones it in and turns out utter rubbish. Oh well. [/quote]
