I went right from reading all the Emily Griffin books: Something Borrowed, Something Blue, Baby Proof, Love the One You're With and Heart of the Matter which were all fantastic light beach reads.
So coming from those, this book was quite a shock. There is nothing light and fun about it and while it does take a little while to get into, it proved to be an addictive story and it lived up to the hype. Has anyone else read this series and what did you think about the other two?
Before I start the second one, I think I need a light beach read to break it up, any suggestions?
Bails- I am just about to start this book tonight! I've heard it takes awhile to get into, but I'm up for it!
ReplyDeleteDid you ever read Snow Flower and the Secret Fan? Not exactly a light beach read, but it's AMAZING!
I just read this!!! One of the fastest books I've read as of late - once I got past the first hundred or so, I couldn't put it down! It helped that I had 2 flights and a 2 hour bus ride to get in some quality reading...I think I want to go straight to the second but give myself a couple of days rest before I start...so I make sure I go to bed before 3am a couple of nights :) Did you read the second? Was it as gripping???
