November 20, 2021 Meeting Minutes: A Town Called Solace (Caitlin’s Pick)

Discussion: Caitlin- Really liked this book. Smooth read, really entertaining. Enjoyed all the different stories coming together. Would recommend. 4/5 Julie- Didn’t hate it. Felt like it lacked depth. Three underdeveloped stories. Kept my attention, but meh. Would recommend to certain people. 2.5/5 Ali- At first didn’t like, but easy read. I had to know so that kept me reading. Liked the multiple stories. Writing style rudimentary. Abrupt ending. Would recommend to certain people. 3.5/5 Jocelyn- The book was okay. Entertaining overall, but still lacking. Didn’t love the writing style. Predictable. Did like that Solace reminded me of Boulder Creek. Would not recommend. 3/5 Favorite Characters: Caitlin- Mr. Barnes Karl Julie- No one Ali- Clara and Moses Jocelyn- Moses “Maybe it’s a matter of tenses. Of grammar. Our love existed, it does exist, it will exist. On the great continuum of time, perhaps it is the tenses that we cease to be.” Balance $$$- $60.02. Everyone paid Venmo.

Next Book pick is Julie’s This meeting's Brunch: Redwood Sandwiches/ Broccoli Cheddar Soup/ Bloody Mary’s
