manogirl 's review for:

Beautiful Day by Elin Hilderbrand
5.0

I wish there were...different scales of ratings for books. Because this is a five-star entertaining read, and it took me no time at all to read it. But it's not like I'll take anything away from it. It was JUST entertaining. It wasn't fascinating. It didn't make me think. It just diverted my attention (happily! willingly! wonderfully!) for a few hours. It was a lovely story, but that's all it was.

I don't feel sad about that, right? But rating it alongside [b:Homeward Bound: Why Women are Embracing the New Domesticity|15803153|Homeward Bound Why Women are Embracing the New Domesticity|Emily Matchar|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1364805521s/15803153.jpg|21526281] feels strange. Because that book was good, it was entertaining, but it was something else too. It fed my brain. It made me think. The two books, they don't belong on the same scale. Is all I'm saying.
