Finished 10/13/16 – 3/5 stars

 

I read this for my book club this month.  Yes, somehow none of had read it or watched the movie prior.  The majority of the ladies in my book club gave it a 3.5 rating but I’m sticking with a solid 3.  A couple members have continued on with the series and one has since watched the movie (saying it wasn’t all that good).  This is a “one and done” series for me though – I truly just thought it was OK.  I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t anything special and I don’t feel the need to find out what happens next to the characters.  Having said that, I do think this would be a good book to read when you are ready for something light and fluffy.  Whether it is because there is just too much going on in life, you need a relaxing book, or you need something to help you recover from reading something dark…..this would be a good pick.
