Love the way you organize these books clubs--so fun!!
One of the coolest things I noticed about the writing and the character was how we never learned about Alexis's past and I loved that, I loved how it was not needed and how it helped the story and that there wasn't necessarily this traumatic event that ruined her, she was perhaps just wanting a plush life where she was taken care of, society is so harsh about this, and its so hard for women to achieve!!! And along that same vein, how Dom never came to fruition, just the fear of him, how deft of Emma!
I think on a smaller level how Alex uses her wilds to achieve attention reminds me of being in my twenties and using my wilds for bad haha, its a power women have and its very interesting to see how Alex uses her body and her femininity as a weapon. I don't know what I was hoping for for Alex, I was more just following her along and understanding her desperation. I was very surprised by the ending and looking back at it I see more of what was going on, with Alex unable to see her reflection in the beach bathroom mirror and her dress feeling wet, I think she is super injured or even dying, but I wonder what everyone else thinks, it is very open to many possibilities. It's as if her truth is at last revealed and she is no longer able to pretend.
I've heard this one is really good/thought provoking. I would love to read it one day - hopefully life calms down after my busy summer!
Yes! It might be the perfect book to read after a busy time period, since it’s easy to get immersed in and can be read quickly
Sorry I missed this read with you. It’s on my bedside stack waiting to be read. 😊
