Barefoot... Discussion #1

Hello lovelies!
Sorry it has taken me so long! I have been waiting to see if everyone finished the book. So I chose this book because I have been DYING to read it!....but boy was I disapointed :(.
I wanna hear what you all thought about the book..if you liked it and what you thought of the story line.
Cant wait to hear what you all think...I hope someone like it LOL.
I guess thats the best thing about a book club, being challenged to read things you normally wouldnt and sometimes reading something you thought you would like that is not so good!

May Book--Barefoot by Elin Hilderbrand

Hey chicks! It's May and that means we're movin' on to a new book! This month, we're putting all things paranormal on the backburner and we're going to read this book about three women and the struggles they find themselves in...

Synopsis, from Barnesandnoble.com

It's summer on Nantucket, and as the season begins, three
women arrive at the local airport, observed by Josh, a local
boy, home from college. Burdened with small children,
unwieldy straw hats, and some obvious emotional issues,
the women—two sisters and one friend—make their way to
the sisters' tiny cottage, inherited from an aunt. They're all
trying to escape from something: Melanie, after seven failed
in-vitro attempts, discovered her husband's infidelity and
then her own pregnancy; Brenda embarked on a passionate
affair with an older student that got her fired from her
prestigious job as a professor in New York; and her sister
Vickie, mother to two small boys, has been diagnosed with
cancer. Soon Josh is part of the chaotic household, acting
as babysitter, confidant, and, eventually, something
more, while the women confront their pasts and map out
their futures.

Kristy is our Hostess this month and I'm excited to read this one:) 

Has everyone started reading this yet? I'm just finishing "To Tame a Highland Warrior" by KMM (OMG LOVING IT!) and then I'll be starting it! Can't wait to start our discussion again:) Let's chat, what are you reading right now? Anyone care to share a picture of their TBR pile??? I'll post mine tomorrow, but a fair warning, it consists of Barefoot and the rest of the Highlander books, lol!

Toodles!

Hollowland...

Hey there all...

So

I'd like everyone to just say what they thought of the book overall..

any last thoughts or points you'd like to make?

Hollowland....

I have to take a minute to say

I so love all the names she picked out for the characters..

and I would love to have a zombie killing lioness for a pet

named Ripley

do you think Lazlo is a strong enough love interest for

Remy?

or should she be with Tatum..or Blue?

How did you feel about the placement of the romance element to the story?

too much, not enough?
