Title: The Guest List
I chose this one based on the yellow and white circle displayed on the front, bearing the endorsement of being a Reese’s Book Club pick. The first several books that I read bearing Reese’s Book Club seal I agreed, they were great recommendations.
Until now.
Maybe I’m getting old, but the sex scene within the first 20 pages didn’t do it for me. That was followed up with a scene of 5 boyhood friends sitting around drinking beer and ribbing on each other. The next scene, however, was the clincher. I just cannot give my energy to an author that writes of cutting themselves with razor blades as though it’s an ordinary and acceptable pass time. I definitely count this on my list of lowlights for the week, shoot, maybe even month. Sorry Reese, better luck next time.
