So I stumbled upon this feature at Purple People Readers (I am totally in love with the blog name LOL) and was originally created by Kimberly Faye Reads.
As you may know, I like so many other book lovers out there am struggling with a towering TBR. I have been currently working on narrowing it down a little (check out my Instagram stories for Trash My TBR Thursdays). But I thought I would also bring that idea to my blog, where you can get a bit of a say in what stays on my TBR and what books it may be time to let go.
So let me know, should I keep it on my TBR, prioritize it, or let it go. Have you read it? Let me know your thoughts on . . .
June, 2014: Cat has finally come to the end of herself. She no longer drinks. She wants to make amends to those she has hurt. Her quest takes her to Nantucket, to the gorgeous summer community where the women she once called family still live. Despite her sins, will they welcome her again? What Cat doesn’t realize is that these women, her real father’s daughters, have secrets of their own. As the past collides with the present, Cat must confront the darkest things in her own life and uncover the depths of someone’s need for revenge."

Synopsis: "June, 1998: At twenty seven, Catherine Coombs, also known as Cat, is struggling. She lives in London, works as a journalist, and parties hard. Her lunchtimes consist of several glasses of wine at the bar downstairs in the office, her evenings much the same, swigging the free booze and eating the free food at a different launch or party every night. When she discovers the identity of the father she never knew she had, it sends her into a spiral. She makes mistakes that cost her the budding friendship of the only women who have ever welcomed her. And nothing is ever the same after that.

This was another of those FOMO books, I was at an author function and go caught up in having an author I have never read a book by sign my copy. I was drawn into this one with the pretty cover and the local setting. I will on occasion read chick lit books but not often. I am also a little leery of the alcoholism and mystery in this one, not really my cup of tea. But again this could end up being a great summer read.
What do you think? Try it even though it is outside my comfort zone or make so space on my shelves for a book I know I will enjoy?
