May 20, 2018: The House We Grew Up In (Maren’s Pick)

Discussion:
Maren- Interesting. Depressing, but wanted to know what happened. Not sure I’d recommend. 3/5
Ali- Like a soap opera, but was intrigued by the plot. Interesting how the disease crept into the family. Disliked dad with Kayleigh!!!!!! Would not recommend. 2/5
Jocelyn- Enjoyed the fast moving chaos of the book. Interesting to watch disease unfold. Glad the sisters got back together in the end. Would not recommend. 3/5
Meriah- Dumb, but wanted to know how it would play out. Was intrigued enough that I talked with other people about the book. Not sure I’d recommend. 3/5
Julie- DID NOT READ!!! PIE FACE

Favorite Character:
Maren- Meg
Ali- Vicky and Madaline
Jocelyn- Megan and Vicky
Meriah- Megan and Vicky

“The human memory is such a cruel, frustrating thing, the way it just discards things without asking permission, precious things. At least here, in my house, I have control over my memories.”

Balance$$$ - $280. Maren paid even. Ali, Meriah and Jocelyn paid, Julie paid ahead one.
