The opening scene where Finlay wraps duct tape around her kid's head? Constant sniping between Finlay and her ex? SO FUNNY!

I loathed that first book.

SAME! I didn't even finish it, and that's pretty rare for me.

All of them.

It get heavier, though, at least in my opinion.

New poster here. I thought that opening scene about the duct tape on the kids hair in the Finlay Donovan book was very funny. I loved that first book. And the second and the third. Haven't read the subsequent books in the series yet but I plan to.
Some people like books with humor. Some people don't.

Not a particularly “beachy” read, but I just read First Lie Wins while at the beach and enjoyed it.

I've loved all of EH (have read 8 or so) except for Golden Girl so far. I did not finish, characters were so awful. The Five Star Weekend was my favorite along with Hotel Nantucket.

LOVE Wedding People!!

I LOVE Abby Jimenez. My favorite. I usually like Ali Hazelwood but her newest book “Not in Love” was not good. Recommend on of the earlier ones.

I like Emily Henry and really like Ali Hazelwood - especially Bride, which is a bit of a change for her.

Will try Abby Jimenez.

+1 on Abby Jimenez. I just finished reading three of hers in a row!

It’s a thriller but I’m loving Ruth Ware’s latest- “the perfect couple” and Lucy Foley’s midnight feast. Perfect couple is about a couples reality show that does very wrong on a deserted island. Characters are fun and it’s a page turner.
