August 25, 2019 High Achiever (Maren’s Pick) Meeting Minutes


Discussion:
Maren- Liked it! Couldn’t put it down, had to know what the story was. Tied together too fast. Feel like there has to be more to the story. Would recommend. 4/5
Julie- Had no knowledge of who she was before this book. Laughed out loud a lot. Wasn’t sure I’d like it, not really into addict books. Felt sorry for Eliot. Already have recommended. 4/5
Jocelyn- I felt the book was okay, kind of blah. It was well written, but I expected more humor from her. Felt like I had heard it all before, similar to so many addict tales. Would not recommend 2.5/5
Meriah- Loved it, fun read! Really interesting. Liked that it was a true story. Would recommend. 4/5
Ali- DID NOT FINISH- Gets a pass for death in family

Favorite Characters:
Maren- Dad
Julie- No Favorite, Mitch maybe
Jocelyn- Mitch
Meriah- None

“There is no such thing as a lost cause, and it’s never too late to start over. A flicker of hope in one’s heart is capable of lighting the path to a new destiny….”
“One Day - Day One - You Decide"

Balance $$$- Should be $415? Ali and Jocelyn paid even. Julie paid $20, but will owe $20 next club. Maren will owe $20 next club. Did Meriah pay? This would have been her free birthday club, but she owed $30 from previous clubs. Need to get this straight.
