Meeting Minutes: December 29, 2019 My Brilliant Friend (Ali’s Pick)


Discussion:
Ali- I had wanted to pick this book for a while, but kept judging it by the cover. Liked that it was Italian. Liked how the author displayed it. Really enjoyed it! Would Recommend. 5/5
Maren- Didn’t like it. The set up was okay, but then what the hell happened. Names were totally confusing, The book drug on forever. Never recommend. 1/5
Julie- Hated it! It was torture. Boring whiney little girls. At 80% I felt kill me now. Names were too much, jumpy writing. What was the point. Never recommend 1.5/5
Jocelyn- I hated the book. I was annoyed within the first 20pgs and it never got better. The authors writing style was exhausting! Constant mini story jumping to loop back to what she was trying to say, which was absolutely nothing. Boring! Never recommend. 1.5/5
Meriah- Didn’t Finish

Favorite Characters:
Ali- Lila
Maren- Lila
Julie- Malina
Jocelyn- Nella

“Something had begun to emanate from Lila’s nubile body that the males sensed, an energy that dazed them, like the swelling sound of beauty arriving.”

Balance $$$- $110. Meriah, Jocelyn and Julie paid even. Maren paid $20, but still owes $10. Ali owes $10
