I wanted to get back to give a proper review of One Perfect Lie by Lisa Scottoline. I listened to this while running, shopping at Aldi, and doing dishes. It was an audiobook that kept me doing chores so I could listen longer, so a real win, win for the cleanliness of my cozy abode!
The book had unexpected but earned twists and I really enjoyed how the story concluded. I was completely wrong about where it ended up. There are multiple POV characters in addition to Chris Brennen. This is a suspenseful thriller, but it isn't a graphic psychological thriller, so I would recommend this book as one to read if you are new to thrillers or if you like TV shows like 911 on the Fox Network.
3.5 stars for this book- it's got some good twists!
And now for something completely different. This is a romance, so there will be a happy ending, it's just how are we going to get there? Well, this time it's going to be through a reality TV show. Yes, this book is like an alternative Bachelorette. In this book, unlike the show, for once the Bachelorette isn't a size 2. Bea is a successful plus-size fashion blogger whose scathing critique of the fictional show "Main Squeeze" goes viral and she winds up being the next main squeeze.
I used to watch the Bachelor franchise but gave it up a few years ago when I realized it was always going to be a parade of thin young women and men who were on the show more often than not to up their social media profiles so they could translate that into endorsement deals. This fiction version of the show will ring true to watchers of the actual show, and also gives the show true romance.
I borrowed this book from my library's Libby App because I need distractions while I train for the marathon. This book was a good distraction! A must listen if you are part of #BachelorNation
3.5 stars for this book as well!
Tomorrow we head back to the DMV for Youngest Child's second attempt at passing the road test. Please send good vibes!
