December 3, 2017 Book Club Notes - The Innocent Sleep (Ali’s Pick)

Discussion:
Ali- Liked the twists and turns, but the writing was jumpy. Felt bad for Dillon. Didn’t like the ending. Would Recommend to junk food readers. 2/5
Julie- Snooze fest. Characters all whiney. Dillon was forgotten. Felt like unexperienced writers, but they have other books. Hated it! Would not recommend. 1.5/5
Maren- Glad for twist at the end. Made me think about my own kids and losing them. Would not recommend. 2/5
Jocelyn- I did not enjoy this book. Hated Harry’s whiney personality. Felt somewhat predictable. Thankful for the twists at the end, but hated the ending. Reminded me that I hated the whole book! Would not recommend. 2/5
Meriah- Liked it. Had to skim some parts because the descriptions took forever. Twist was good. Would not recommend. 3/5

Favorite Characters:
Ali- Spencer
Julie- Tangier and Robin’s Dad
Maren- Robins Parents
Jocelyn- Cozimo and Robin’s Dad
Meriah- Cozimo

“I noticed his face was marked with deep grooves; it looked like a map of wrong turns, detours, and cul-de-sacs. It felt like you could almost trace its contours of sadness, joy and disappointment.”

Balance $$$- ????
Julie had paid ahead which covered her through December club.
Maren, Jocelyn, Ali and Meriah owe $10 for December club.
