I am about 10 pages away from being done with this but I will mark it as read anyhow since I will finish it at lunch or on the train ride to book club this evening.
I really don't know what to make of this novel. I give it somewhere between 2 and 3 stars. I think I need to stop reading these "ensemble cast" writing group/book club/cooking club etc. books. I never seem to rate them more than 3 stars.

I LOVE this book! Every time I sat down with this book, I got sucked out of my world and into theirs. It was amazing! I don't even know if I cared so much about whodunit as long as the story kept moving. I can't remember the last book that was able to completely pull me out of my world. Amazing!

This book reminded me obliquely of the movie Best in Show. The movie is a satirical look at stereotypical dog show types, and this book does the same for creative writing class types.
It's funny, smart and very readable. It's also a mystery. The mystery suffers a little in that it's not quite as interesting as many of the other elements. At times I'd be wishing the author would get on with the mystery elements and get back to class.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This was my second Jincy Willett novel and I'm officially a fan.

"Amy was a bitter, peculiar person, aware at all times of her bitterness and peculiarity, but rarely did this bother her."

This one almost didn't pass the "50-page test," but I kept going and ended up really liking it. It was almost too clever in the beginning, but got better as it went along.

Pues no ha estado nada mal. Un chico al que compré dos libros en Wallapop me lo regaló como extra, y es una libro que se lee bastante rápido y tiene enganche. Además, la protagonista me ha caído bastante en gracia.

Entertaining, with a wonderful main character. So glad I had procured a copy before the blizzard! Looking forward to the sequel.
