May 22, 2016 Book Club Notes

In Dark Dark Wood By Ruth Ware (Julie’s Pick)

Discussion: Julie- Had a cheesy feeling. Obviously a young author. Story felt far fetched and unrealistic. This book is stupid! Not Recommend. 3/5 Maren- Fast easy read. Ending went downhill. Not recommend. 3/5 Meriah- The story was very predictable. Not recommend. 3/5 Jocelyn- Writing felt amateur. Liked that it was in Europe. Not recommend. 3/5 Ali- Easy read. Parts made more complicated then they needed to be. Would recommend to certain readers. 3/5
Favorite Characters:
Julie- Tom Maren- Nina Meriah- Nina/Tom Jocelyn- Nina Ali- Nina/Tom
Fruit Loop- Fruitus Lupus, fruit of the moon; associated with the pagan belief that insanity was connected to bathing in the light of the moon.

I’m not being offensive. You cannot offend someone who’s not here. Offense has been taken, just not given. – Nina-

$$$- Balance of $495. Everyone paid, Maren paid off debt.
