August 28, 2016 Book Club Notes

Younger by Susan Munshower (Ali’s Pick)

Discussion: Ali- Liked the book. It was like a female Jason Borne. Kept me alert. Interesting way to go about the vanity topic. Already have recommended. 5/5
Julie- Entertaining although not a good book. Junk food. Interesting read for the topic. It was filled with lots of extra pieces. Liked the love story, kept waiting for a twist there. Would not recommend. 3/5
Maren- A good one. Fast pace with not too much description. The David part was nice but unbelievable. Noticed all the food talk. Would not recommend. 4/5
Jocelyn- Entertaining fast read. Vanity not really my thing, so enjoyed the ending filled with espionage the best. Liked that it took place in Europe for all the great words used. Not sure if I’d recommend. 3/5
Meriah- Liked the book. Creepy because it made me internalize myself ageing. Seemed like it was written to be a movie. Annoyed with traveling descriptions, but liked the David love story ending. Would not recommend. 3.5/5
Favorite Characters: Ali- Allie Julie- David Maren- David Jocelyn- Rob and Chas Meriah- David
“So cold and hard that ice could take a lesson from her.”
