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.
Next club is September 29th at Julie’s House.
Book pick is Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell 369pgs
Next book pick is Meriah’s
