Its so true that a vacation/beach novel can stick with you forever, for better or for worse! I remember lugging Gone Girl in hard cover on a plane to Greece, trying not to read it ALL on the flight because it was so good, and then when I finished it I gave it to my friend who handed me a copy of Fifty Shades of Grey because it was the only book in english on our hotel's exchange shelf...I still think about how TERRIBLE that book was but I read the whole thing because I had nothing else. I also once stayed up reading The Bell Jar by candle light in a little beach shack in Mexico because there was no electricity but I couldn't put it down.
Picturing you reading Fifty Shades just rolling your eyes lol. I tried to read East of Eden on a camping trip once and it bothered me so much it just wasn’t the right time - my goal is to never repeat that experience again. But reading Gone Girl for the first time on a plane to Greece is a prime memory I love it. Thanks for being here Lainie!
