Bookclub Meeting Minutes April 25, 2021- The Last House (Jocelyn’s Pick)

Discussion: Jocelyn- I didn’t love it, but I didn’t hate it either. The setting was too similar to our last book. It was meant to be a junk food thriller and in the end it was. It still gave me the feeling of “I have to know.” I might recommend. 2.5/5 Julie- I couldn’t stand the writing style. So dumb, another dud. I was just trying to get through it. Hell no I would never recommend. 1/5 Caitlin- Don’t have much to say. Hard to follow. The whole book was a downer. Would not recommend. 2/5 Ali- Decently written thriller. Kept me wanting to know. Hard to start because it was so familiar to our last read. Good twist at the end. I would recommend. 3/5 Favorite Characters: Jocelyn- No Favorite Julie- No Favorite Caitlin- Conner Ali- Conner Balance $$$- $320. Everyone is paid even. Book pick is Where the Forest Meets the Stars by Glendy Vanderah 325pgs Next club is May 22nd at Julie’s House 11:00 Next book pick is Ali’s.
