Conversations with Friends: A Novel

I came upon this book last year. At first I will admit that the cover was intriguing but the synopsis wasn't too bad. All in all, the book seemed like a good read. Unfortunately when I started reading, it was a whole different situation.
   I haven't DNF'd (Did Not Finish) a lot of books but I had to for this one. The plot line was really hard to follow & since the beginning the characters were very hard to like. I tried to continue the book but there was no hook. There was nothing truly intriguing for me as a reader to hang on to.
  Although this wasn't my cup of tea, who is to say it isn't yours? If you're wondering if you should read this book or not, I would suggest you give it a try. I appreciate all the hard work Sally Rooney put into this book, she is a wonderful author.

The Girl On The Train review

(⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5) 

When reading The Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins be prepared to get sucked in & taken along on a wild ride. The story has multiple point of views including your typical drunk, a cheater & a liar. How their lives intertwine is revealed throughout the novel with the use of dialogue, time sequencing & chapter structure. Hawkins does an amazing job focusing on action & plot movement as she shows us the daily lives of the characters. I found myself constantly flipping back & forth to double check the dates in disbelief. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this novel.

A special delivery arrives at the barn and is quickly disliked and unwanted by the rest of Farmer Fran's animals, until it's not. At the end of the book the delivery becomes just the right kind of excitement the barn needed.
