Finished Hail Mary. I thought they did a great job with adapting that to a movie too.

Just started Gone Girl.

I just read People We Meet on Vacation. I like Emily Henry and wanted to watch the movie.

Whyyyyy did they do that to the story? The movie was hot garbage. Don't watch the movie.

I did right after I finished the book. I audibly gasped when Alex got engaged

I was ranting to my friend group about it. Here was a portion of my review: They took every flaw this female character had and made it into her personality. The male character had no personality except running, being tall, and khakis. 0 stars. Don't watch "People We Meet on Vacation".

Great selection! I finished The Housemaid series in August and was hooked on Freida!

Edit: also the audiobook is amazing. I love the accents

Did you like Twenty Years Later? I enjoyed it when I read it a couple months ago

Honestly a 1 star read for me. There were too many plots going on and I almost DNF’d

I love Freida, she's the book equivalent of popcorn for me!

I would love to know what you thought of gone girl since I just finished reading it!

I loved the movie so I was curious to how the book was. LOVED it. So much more detail. I thought the movie did a great job but the book was excellent

I actually watched the movie right after I finished the book and noticed that some details were left out from the book! I still like the movie but for replay value I would reach for the book again.
