This is a great book that really captures the voice of that age. I think with such an abrupt ending, an epilogue would have been nice.

amazing how bad this book is

I get that the nonlinear storyline was intentional but that doesn't mean it worked

It's giving Tina fey/Liz lemon fan fic. Needed way fewer emails. The pandemic making an appearance wasn't my favorite.

I enjoyed the last book more than this one, although I did like it more as it went on. The end was totally rushed and I GASPED at one of Hattie's later decisions.

Me:





It really needed another 50 pages to build the end out a bit more.

They'll call anything a thriller these days huh

This book of short stories is 188 pages and it took me 7 years to get through. The titular story is decent and the rest are not his best work.

Well researched but delivery could have been better. It was hard for me to keep track of the dressmakers. I didn't really feel like their stories were laid out in a way that you got to know any of them particularly well. I was interested in more specific stories about them actually doing the work.

This is a book for people who like action movies. It is also a book for people who don't mind every other word being a scientific term. I am neither person. It was quick, at least.

This book is dull, just watch a season or two of Below Deck instead.

Beginning was interesting but fell off about halfway.

This had some fun parts, but I thought it lacked some depth and the character development was lackluster. Probably too much telling and not enough showing. Also, Stacey's initial emails were totally unbelievable.

3.5 for being mostly entertaining.
