MM January 19, 2020 Evvie Drake Starts Over (Maren’s Pick)

Evvie Drake Starts Over (Maren’s Pick)
Discussion:
Maren- I picked this book because it got good reviews. Liked the beginning. Then it turned into, let’s just have conversations for the whole book. It was a fast read. Would never recommend. 3/5
Jocelyn- This book was horrible. Nothing ever happens in this story that you didn’t know was going to happen. Felt like a trashy airport kiosk book. Would never recommend. 0/5
Ali- Hated the book! Wanted to wash my mind of it. I might need to read a self-help book now. Would never recommend. 0/5
Julie- Nothing happens the whole time! No sex at all! Basically, a flat liner book, no climax.
Meriah- Could have had more potential. Junk food read. It was stagnant, which started to drive me crazy. Would not recommend. 2/5
Favorite Characters:
Maren- Andy
Jocelyn- Andy
Ali- Andy and Dad
Julie- Webster (the dog)
Meriah- Cheerio Box Girl
Balance$$$- $170. Everyone is paid current.
