February 5, 2023 The Lost Apothecary (Julie’s Pick)

Discussion: Julie- Really glad I switched to this book. I liked it but took a little while to get into it. Liked the old story much better. Writing was a little inconsistent. Liked both endings. Would recommend. 3.5/5 Caitlin- Liked the book. Could have been more exciting. Struggled to get into it and didn’t love the end. Got too repetitive. Would not recommend. 3/5 Ali- Spent the first half of the book trying to pronounce the title. Took a minute to get into it. Loved the old story but hated present day story. All in all, a good read.
