Hammock read 2/3 – Very reminiscent of “Elenor Oliphant is Completely Fine”, “The Cactus” features a narrator that is (at first) very hard to like. Susan’s prickly personality has kept many people in her life a safe distance away, and I found it took me longer to warm up to her than I did Elenor. But I did find it enjoyable to watch her logic her way through the messiness that her organized life has suddenly become. 🌵 #msmclauchlanreads
A sunny week in the hammock means I’ve finished up three audiobooks already! For those of y’all that participate in book clubs, I highly recommend you put this one on your radar. Set in present day, “The Farm” focuses on the lives of a group of women that have agreed to be paid pregnancy surrogates for wealthy mystery clients. However, part of the exchange means spending nine months living in a highly monitored luxury spa called the “farm”. This novel raises some interesting questions around race, gender and reproductive rights. #msmclauchlanreads
As a big fan of reality television, I loved this suspenseful story set behind the scenes of a family that is tv famous for it’s traditional values. #msmclauchlanreads
I needed a light hearted book to recover from my last read, and “The Rosie Result” totally delivered. Don’s factual perspective of the world around him delivers unexpected (and often hilarious) truths about identity, growing up and the role of schools. #msmclauchlanreads
