As a former tennis player, I just loved this book. The author again (like in all her books) makes everything seem so real with all her research into the subject. Highly recommend!

I thought that I would like this more than I did. I liked reading from the viewpoint of Lily more than Matthew. Although the plot of this story kind of reminded me of Crazy Rich Asians.

Interesting back and forth with the different time periods. I would look for this author's other offerings.

The book is fun and entertaining. Live the characters. Very unique and complicated. It's fun to watch their lives

Enjoyed this book the whole way through. I loved to see everyone’s different view point of the family system and their individual dynamics. How certain feelings can be misinterpreted and missed by those closest to you.

I fell in love with the characters of this book. I could not put it down and finished it in less than a week. I immediately wanted to start the next book of the series.

I liked Puff the Magic Dragon and thought it was very funny that even that little boy got too old. Puff got sad at the end when the boy left him.

I usually enjoy Reese's Book Club picks and The House in the Pines was an enjoyable book although not what I expected. The book is written in third person with the main protagonist being a young 25-year-old named, Maya. When she was eighteen, Maya dated a man named Frank and she seemed to lose significant periods of time when with him. A key event is when Maya's best friend, Aubrey, just died for no reason when having a conversation with Frank. Fast forward to 7 years later when Maya was 25 and saw a video on social media where the same Frank is in a booth at a diner in Maya's hometown of Pittsfield, MA, and the woman across from him also suddenly dies while just talking to Frank. While depicted as a thriller, the book is just about Frank's interesting ability (no spoiler alert). My favorite parts of the book dealt with Maya's Guatemalan background, her late father, and her visits to Guatemala City.

I thought the part with the pill and the cake was really funny.

Not one of my favorites of her. I thought there was too much info dumping about popular restaurants and stores in Nantucket and not enough focus on the plot. I did not like many of the characters in the story either especially Leslee and Bull.
