September 29, 2019 Then She Was Gone (Julie’s Pick)

Discussion:
Julie- Enjoyed it! Read it too quickly. Just had to know what was going to happen. Kept hoping she would live in the end. Felt redeemed finally picking a good book! Would recommend. 3.5/5
Ali- Finished last minute. Liked the book, had to know what was going to happen. The end perplexed me though. Would recommend. 4/5
Maren- Really liked it! Couldn’t put it down. I was always hoping Ellie was going to live. Would recommend. 4/5
Jocelyn- It was a fast-easy read. I enjoyed trying to guess as the story progressed. Felt sad about the end of Ellie. Didn’t love the ending. Would recommend. 3.5/5
Meriah- I knew what was going to happen, but still enjoyed it. Liked that she told each person’s story a different way. 3/5

Favorite Characters:
Julie- Sara-Jade and Blue
Ali-Ruby (Laurel’s Mom)
Maren- Laurel
Jocelyn- Paul
Meriah- None

“You didn’t lose me, Laurel. I’m still yours, I’ll always be yours.” “Well that’s not strictly true, is it?” He sighs again. “Where it counts,” he says. “As the father of your children, as a friend, as someone who shared a journey with you and as someone who loves and cares about you. I don’t need to be married to you to be all those things. Those things are deeper than marriage. Those things are forever,”

Balance $$$- Still don’t know. $415 maybe? If everyone pays back dues we should have a minimum of $500 for our anniversary.

Starting in November we are going to switch things up: DISCUSS Julie being new treasurer.
