April 29, 2018 Sleeping Beauties (Ali’s Pick)

Discussion: Ali- Pretty stoked on my book. Really enjoyed the adventure! Didn’t want it to end. I liked how it jumped around. Would recommend. 5/5
Julie- One of the best books I ever read. So many feelings. Cried when baby Andy was born. Brilliantly written. Can’t wait to see the movie. Already recommended. 4.5/5
Maren- Liked it. Took a really long time to get into it. Didn’t like the prison aspect. Kept getting confused by all the characters, had to go back many times and remind myself who was who. Would recommend. 4/5
Jocelyn- Loved it! Such a great adventure! I was hooked from the beginning. I really enjoyed the unfolding of human nature in this scenario. Well written. Would recommend. 4/5
Meriah- (Didn’t Finish) Good book. Liked the writing. Liked that the babies were saved. Got me writing notes! Already recommended. This is the longest book I’ve ever read. 4/5

Except, really, when had men not been mystified by women? They were the magic that men dreamed of and sometimes their dreams were nightmares.
