On Mystic Lake

The cover of this book should have Fabio on it because it is a pathetic Harlequin romance book masquerading as a novel. The characters are stereotypical and flat. The plot is predictable. Had it not been the choice for my bookclub I would have tossed it at chapter 1. And yes, I am working to have the person who selected this for bookclub removed from the club and placed into a PTA coffee clatch.

Preach! I thought the exact same thing when I read it. Trite and predictable and cluttered with terribly awkward similes.

Thank God you aren't a leader of a country, I fear all books that don't meet your pretentious standards would be burned in a big pile leaving only those books that YOU deemed worthy available to the rest of us. I didn't love it either, but removing people from a club because of their personal choice...hmmm?
Tracy I agree. All books are not for ALL people
Tracy, I suspect Christine was being more facetious than pretentious. I thought her final comment was funny as all get out, but I have a sense of humor.
I’m skimming past the last 100 pages. Can’t wait to be done with this one. 😁
It was horrific - how is this the author of “The Nightengale “ ? holy shnike worst book I’ve picked up in ages . I kept hoping everyone would die in a car crash and end my misery
Tracy, get a sense of humor. Christine, spot on with your review!
I agree with Lena! The Nightingale is written so beautifully and this book reminded me of something Danielle Steele would’ve written.
I so agree. I’m about 100 pages in and just can’t do it. This story is so cliche. A harlequin romance by Danielle Steele is the perfect description.
thank you! I was so worried that this was the case
I just started this today - I don’t really care about reviews because everyone is different. I like mindless reading in the summer. It’s a nice pace from my usual read.
I’m about 80 pages from the end. Trying desperately to finish it. Not Kristin Hannah’s best book....
This one was more brainless than mindless
Savage! Love it lol...
Spot on review! I’m so glad she got better!
I didn’t even give it a rating that’s how much I enjoyed it.
I liked this book. Was it a bit predictable ????...yes... but sometimes I just want a story to read. I agree that Nightingale and Four Winds were better written but this book was enjoyable.
PTA parents aren't stupid.
I feel the same just over halfway into it, but you really don’t have to denigrate the person who chose it for your book club.
Agreed. I made it to chapter 6 and that was hard. The characters are awful
Depressing is the word
Wow this review is so mean haha...
