I just finished Crazy Rich Asians. Excellent narration. Completely vapid story. Wish I had just watched the movie instead. Even though it's meant to be over the top, it could have been better with editing to make it shorter. Should I continue with the series? Not sure...
I just started The Other Woman by Sandie Jones. So far so good. The protagonist thinks Snowballs are the perfect Christmas-decorating cocktail. What's not to like? [One of my English friends taught me how to make the cocktail. It's yummy and now a tradition in our house! Although I have to go hunting on the bottom shelf of a specialty store to find Advokat in the US.]
From Goodreads:
Quote:
The most twisty, addictive and gripping debut thriller you'll read this year.
HE LOVES YOU: Adam adores Emily. Emily thinks Adam’s perfect, the man she thought she’d never meet.
BUT SHE LOVES YOU NOT: Lurking in the shadows is a rival, a woman who shares a deep bond with the man she loves.
AND SHE'LL STOP AT NOTHING: Emily chose Adam, but she didn’t choose his mother Pammie. There’s nothing a mother wouldn’t do for her son, and now Emily is about to find out just how far Pammie will go to get what she wants: Emily gone forever.
THE OTHER WOMAN will have you questioning her on every page, in Sandie Jones' chilling psychological thriller about a man, his new girlfriend, and the mother who will not let him go.
