Wow, some great memories here, Nicki💜 I will always remember Big Little Lies fondly and this book led me to watch Anatomy of a Scandal, which was fantastic.

Well at least I have read a couple… great memories of Local Girl Missing and The Perfect Girlfriend! I can’t believe I haven’t read any other books by Karen Hamilton by now. I also still have to read my copy of Becoming by Michelle Obama and the Sophie Cousens one. I’ll have a lot of reading to get through in 2024 already. Thanks for the overview!
