Welcome to the Lazy Girl Library , the podcast , where reading is a pleasure and captivating adventures happen from the comfort of your couch . I'm your host , darby , and I'm Mikaela , and if you've ever spent more time rearranging your bookshelf than your priorities , then you , my friend , are in the right place . Awesome , well , hey guys , welcome to our first book talk and our second full episode . Woohoo . I just want to start off this episode by saying thank you so much for all the kind words and support that we've gotten so far . It can kind of be vulnerable , you know , putting yourself out there , but you guys have been just so kind .
Speaker 2It's been really amazing seeing all the comments and all the getting all the texts and what not from all of our listeners . It's been so nice and so rewarding already . So thank you for the support .
Speaker 1The fact that we have listeners . That's you guys . That's wild . So it actually wants to listen to us .
Speaker 2It's crazy .
Speaker 1But yeah , this is our first book talk and we are so excited . Well , actually , I don't know how excited I am to talk about this book , but we're going to be talking about it .
Speaker 2It'll be an interesting one , for sure .
Speaker 1Yeah , so the book that we read in February was the Worst Best man by Lucy Score , and so kind of . What this episode will entail is basically talking all about this book . So our thoughts on the book . We're going to answer some book club-esque questions about the book and kind of just give our ratings for it .
Speaker 2This is like Goodreads audio version kind of thing . Basically , yeah , and it's a lot easier for me to vocalize my thoughts than type it out , so you're going to hear it all and this is a great little snippet of what we talk about on the daily all the time . Which inspired this podcast ?
Speaker 1Yeah , this truly is book club . This is exactly what would happen if you were sitting with us on the couch instead of sitting on your own couch listening to us .
Speaker 2Hi all , future McKayla here editing the pod . I realized as editing this that it might be helpful to add some context to the book for those of you not looking to read but still want to follow along . So I'm going to read the book description for you , just to add a bit of context . So the worst , best man , the bride is a doll , the groom is the perfect gentleman , but the rest of the wedding party ? They're the stuff of nightmares . Rich check , vapid , double check , entitled not enough checks in the world , but made of honor .
Speaker 2Francesca Borunski takes her duties seriously . Kidnapped groom , she's got this rude attendees , just watch her handle them . So when she meets the best man with a big attitude and an even bigger checkbook , yeah , there's no way she's going to let that pretentious , judgmental jackhole ruin her friends wedding , no matter how sexy he is . At least that was the plan . Aiden Kilbourne doesn't do long term relationships . He's busy ruling the business world and has yet to find a woman he can get along with for more than a month . Conquering the unconquerable is basically his bread and butter , and he hasn't met a challenge that he can't win . But Francesca Borunski , this smart mouth girl from Brooklyn , may just be his downfall . And now back to our regularly scheduled program .
Speaker 1Well , on that note , let's hop on in
Spoiler Warning!
Speaker 1Warning , while spoilers ahead , please head to the description and show notes to find where to skip to . You have been warned . So , mikaela , what were your initial thoughts on the book ?
Speaker 2If I had one word to describe this book , I would say it was lackluster . Honestly , I think you and I can both agree it did not live up to expectations at all . When you read the back of it it just didn't match the whole story . It did , but it didn't . Because it was one of those things that when I first read the back of the book I had a thought of what it was going to be like , and then when you're reading it you're like this is absolutely nothing like the back of the book . But then today I went back and read the back of the book again , I'm like well , I guess it kind of is Okay , yeah , I was going to mention that later .
Speaker 1But yes , I feel the same way when I read the back of the book . Maybe I just like skimmed it , but I was like very excited . I thought I knew what I was going to read . And then we started reading and I was like what is it ? Like this is not the book that I wanted to read or thought I was going to be reading . Yep .
Speaker 2So it definitely . Yeah , it threw me for a loop , for sure . I had a bunch of theories as I do about what was going to be happening throughout this book , in which none of them happened , but that's because really nothing happened in this book . No , yeah , it was pretty disappointing .
Speaker 1Yeah , I read like multiple , like short stories , yes , like it felt like it wasn't one cohesive story to me . It felt like two different stories , and so this definitely wasn't my favorite , but it wasn't my least favorite book either . I've definitely read worse books , but I think it just . It's hard when your expectations aren't met , and my expectations were not met .
Speaker 2I think that's a great like way to encapsulate this book . That's the right word . Maybe I made a word up .
Speaker 1I know the meaning of your made up word Perfect .
Speaker 2As long as that works , is it ? Yeah , expectations were not met . It's not that it was a bad book , but you go in with certain expectations and when they're not met , then you get really disappointed . I think , yeah , that's exactly what happened with this book . So did you like , did you have a favorite part ?
Speaker 1though for it . So for this podcast , I tried to think of a favorite part . I really liked the beginning of the book with the wedding content , because that's what I thought the book was going to be about was about these two individuals and their relationship throughout the like wedding process . So that was my favorite part was the wedding content in the beginning of the book , because that's what closely resembled my expectations for the book . And I also did like the unique twist of there being a kidnap thing during the wedding . Like yes , that was like weird to me and was like , okay , I guess this is where we're going , but I still liked it because it was still part of the wedding . And then a little side note of like things I liked about the book I did like whenever Aiden interacted with Frankie's family , because Aiden was just so sweet yeah , he was .
Speaker 1He was really sweet . So I liked him like as a character , like he was nice , yeah , but again I didn't think he was going to be enough , so it did take some getting used to , but I liked when he was like with her family , especially her brothers .
Speaker 2Yeah , so that was definitely my favorite part of this whole book . Aiden was such a sweetheart . But no , I agree with you . The true favorite part of this book was the wedding , I think , because it reminded me so much of like the ridiculous rom-coms you used to watch where it's like the hijinks that was ensuing was so like out of the box , crazy . The fact that like the groom was getting kidnapped and Frankie's just like I'm going to dress up as a maid and like go in and like try to save him and they're all like so nonchalant about this entire thing and making it more dramatic than it was . And then you had the little kid that was like taking on a dirt bike .
Speaker 1That was definitely like rom-com out of the random character .
Speaker 2And so , but like , even though it was so ridiculous , and like , out there , that was the best part for me because it was just kind of like it was just fun it was funny and it was very much like like what we were kind of like expecting with the wedding .
Speaker 2but it was shocking how quickly the wedding ended in the book and I was kind of disappointed because if the rest of the wedding was going to be like that and have all the hijinks , then that would have been , I think , a little bit more enjoyable for me . Yeah .
Speaker 1When we , or when I started reading it and I like it literally jumped from like engagement party to like wedding and I was like whoa and I was like the wedding's happening right now . I wonder how she's going to make it last the whole book ? Yep , well , it doesn't . It doesn't even last like till halfway .
Speaker 2Yep , I thought and like , as we were reading , I'm thinking like , okay , well , maybe like the kidnapping goes long or something like that , and so they have to reschedule the wedding . So then it's like all the hijinks before , like the real wedding at the end .
Speaker 1Yeah , no , that was not . I don't know if you want to talk about this now , but what were some of your theories , or do you want to talk about that later ?
Speaker 2I can talk about it now . Yeah , I had . Okay , there's one , there's one theory that I really had that I think I read far too much into it but I haven't marked . It was on page 137 , at the end of the wedding , when she's talking with Aiden and she basically is like he's acting like so nonchalant about the whole situation , like it wasn't that big a deal , like he like my brother , wasn't going to hurt Chip at all , like and taking my time to like figure out what was going to happen , or like how to like gain leverage back from his brother .
Speaker 2Basically , aiden was and Frankie's like yeah , but you could have , you didn't know for sure that that was going to happen .
Speaker 2Like you left your friend in danger for hours before like going and doing anything about it to save him , just assuming that he was going to be safe , and like assuming within your family that these things , because it's like so normal for you , but news flash , like it's not normal . I thought for sure the way that the author was writing about this was foreshadowing this happening with Frankie that they were going to go through this love story , that they are , like you know , falling in love , whatever . Then maybe they get into a really big fight and then , whether it's the brother or somebody else kidnaps Frankie as leverage for Aiden like whether it's for money , for business , whatever but that she was going to be an actual danger and that Aiden was then going to have to like face that and like figure out how to like work fast to get Frankie back and to save Frankie , because it was foreshadowing the beginning . So I was that's what I was expecting fully going into this .
Speaker 1It was way better than what did happen with the brother .
Speaker 2I don't know it was yeah . So , and this is a great like little snippet into like my brain and how my brain works when I'm reading as the conspiracy theorist- but sometimes I didn't think twice . It works against me though because it makes you , like even more disappointed when things don't work out .
Speaker 1Yeah , so I do think that the groom what was his name ? Do you remember ?
Speaker 1chip I think chip , I do think that chip and Aiden could have explained a little bit more to Frankie , like During the kidnap , being that , like , oh , like , yeah , this is insane . But like we know the guy like it's fine , absolutely , she definitely seemed a little more like crazy during that because like I don't know there was , there was some miscommunication . Yeah , it could have been a little less hectic once . They did know , like that it was right , brother well , they kind of like just Skimmed over it .
Speaker 2Even at the end , when it like after the wedding and chips , fine , and Aiden's like trying to explain the Frankie like how this is normal , they left the reader I felt like a little bit more confused . Like it kind of clears things up so you like can make assumptions about like okay , I guess this is a thing , but they didn't like truly explain , like yeah , the nuances of why this was like this happens all the time , or like tell another story of when this has happened before .
Speaker 1Kind of thing . Yeah , also the fact that Frankie was like seething at Aiden for like not knowing , or for knowing and not telling . Yet chip was like clearly happy , like and they got married and stuff , but she was still so angry it was like okay , you're literally angry for no reason . Everyone else has moved on , like it's fine . Yep , absolutely , that was , I think , when it started to like really dig at me like oh , she's annoying .
Speaker 2Well , and I think that gets into both our least favorite part of this book , which was Frankie . She holds these grudges over people for so long and , like you said , like chip and pru who are getting married , like did not hold it against Aiden whatsoever , which is like , yeah , you should stick up for your friend to a point , but the whole such a grudge and like to be so angry with him for so long about this like throughout the whole book and , like I don't know , she just was .
Speaker 1It's just like it was ridiculous also like making other people's problems your own yes , no offense . Like I don't know if you're trying to be a good friend but you're not , like that's not your issue To hold on to . Or like , in the end , like Aiden's whole like issue if he's the one that had broken up chip and what's her name ? Prue , prue , yeah , sorry , sorry . Like how he had made chip and prue break up and she was so angry that like that felt like such , like that shouldn't have been an issue . And I get that prue was like Depressed during that time . Are really sad , but like that was pru's issue , not your own . Sure you helped her , but like I don't know , all of it seemed like woe is me and it's like oh , the entire book .
Speaker 2It was constant . Well , and what I hated too is how , like she was almost so like Pretentious about it and like how she's a working-class girl and you know she had , she can't afford all these luxuries or whatever , but she's the one almost like holding the grudge about it or like having the chip on her shoulder about it , whereas , like a lot of the people throughout the book did not care , yeah , like they weren't judging her for it . She was judging herself for it or putting the judgment of herself in other people where it didn't exist .
Speaker 1And there's a way to do that character . But have it be graceful . Still , like there are plenty of like the billionaire tropes where the girl is like very proud of , like you know , having to work for stuff but it comes off way better than Franky King off . Like it just did not . It did not Correlate so . Frankie for sure was my least favorite part of this book , as well as the fact that the wedding was over before Well and I even started .
Speaker 2She ruined .
Speaker 2Like one of my favorite tropes too , because I love the billionaire's trope and it was a surprising version of it , because Aiden what didn't end up being like you know , the bad guy that they normally are yeah , but she just took me so much out of the romance because she was so concerned with , like , the fact that he's like this billionaire , she's a working girl or he's not looking for a relationship , so she's just gonna get her heartbroken or she doesn't want this or whatever , but she does . She's couldn't , I don't know . The whole thing was just infuriating for me to try to read through and the fact that that was the majority of the book made me like Dread picking up this book . The finish it kind of yeah , because I just didn't want to deal with her .
Speaker 1Yeah , she like . I also like the billionaire trope . I think I've only ever read like two this one and another one , and I actually don't love the other ones . Maybe I don't like the billionaire trope , it's maybe they just haven't been great books , but Frankie for sure ruined a lot of it for me . I also was hoping for more of like a grumpy sunshine vibe , but what was not anticipating Frankie being the grumpy one ? Yeah , so I thought like it was gonna be more like brooding billionaire and less like Spoiled girl , right ? Oh my gosh .
Speaker 2Yeah well , cuz that's normally what they are , and so I wasn't mad about like the flop of it yeah , being like she was the grumpy one and he was the sunshine cuz it's like it's when you go into these books Expecting what we expected , and so the fact that the other kind of flipped the script on us I appreciate like the kind of like thought of it , and it made me love Aiden even more , yeah , but it made me hate Frankie even more too , mm-hmm .
Speaker 2So , yeah , no , I do I love the billionaire trope , so it's one of my favorites , but I don't know just it was it was . It wasn't the book , it was Frankie , and the way it was the fact that the plot didn't go anywhere .
Speaker 1Aiden helped , frankie did it and I think Frankie , well , like every other character , helped and Frankie did it , even the annoying bridesmaids , like they were better than Frankie .
Speaker 2Yeah , something proo was like . You're being absolutely ridiculous and stupid and being like the reality .
Speaker 1I'm happy , I'm married . I think she really says that at the end . She's like I'm okay , like we're together now . It doesn't matter , yep , it doesn't matter .
Discussing the Author and Her Writing Style
Speaker 2So what did you think about ? Like the writing styles , because I personally enjoyed it .
Speaker 1Yeah , I thought it was pretty simple , easy to follow , like I could visualize things well and I think each character had a distinct personality , which I liked , because I feel like sometimes you read books and they like almost like Blend , like they're too similar , but I felt each person like had their own vibe , like they were their own person . So I did like that . But again going back to like where our expectations got flipped , like rereading the back of the book where it says like the bride is a doll , the groom is a perfect gentleman , but the rest of the wedding party they're the stuff of nightmares , and like I don't know .
Speaker 2It definitely makes you think that she's going to go into all the different nuances of the wedding .
Speaker 1Yeah , and then I read the author's note , which made me understand it a little bit more . I never read the author's note . I read it sometimes , but so she talks Honestly . I'm just going to read it real quick , because it's like half a page . Dear reader , where do I start ?
Speaker 1As always , I started this book with an idea of where it would go . I thought this was going to be just a light , funny rom-com set in paradise . Oh wow , we did too . And then Frankie and Aiden got deeper . Their conflict got more intense , their families got more complicated . Basically , I fell head over heels for these two and their hot mess of a non-relationship . I was so sure Frankie would get her heart broken and then she ended up doing the breaking . It's like I have no control over these people . I hope you loved them as much as I did .
Speaker 1I set the wedding in Barbados because it's one of my favorite places to go with Mr Lucy . We went specifically so I could soak up the research for this book and some sun and all the rum . The White Sandy Beach is the turquoise water , the insane mini-van , public transportation it's amazing . Anyway , if you loved Frankie and Aiden , please feel free to hop over to Amazon . Leave a gushing review .
Speaker 1If you hated them and you're still reading this note , I admire your commitment . That's me . Do you want to hang out and be BFFs ? Blah , blah , blah . So after reading that it did like I like understood the book more After reading that note and I honestly like have a little more respect for the book , because she's saying that like this turned out different than even she expected , which that's like okay , like that's cool , but maybe like update , like the expectations of readers , because it kind of like like I feel like our expectations were set up for that , like like any rom-com . So I do like her writing style and after reading the author's note , I think I like her a little bit more , but I don't know ?
Speaker 2Yeah , because the back of the book makes it seem like it's all centered around this wedding , versus really the wedding was just how they met and then the rest of the book is about them . So I think if it wasn't so focused on the wedding like talking about the , you know , wedding party being stuff of nightmares , whatever , which it does it makes you think that it's going to take you through the whole wedding process and they're going to where they're forced , like to be together and they're slowly learning about each other , kind of thing , isn't that ? So you've set expectations a little bit more than yeah , I think maybe it would have been not as disappointing as it was yeah , I do like reading how she went to Barbados for research .
Speaker 1Yeah , that's cool , and I really forget a lot about how authors have to do so much research , which I don't know why . I don't think about that because it's like how would they know all these things ? Right , but it's like so neat . Like do you ever think about how they do so much research just to help with , like , the setting of a book or to make things ?
Speaker 2accurate . I forget about it too honestly , because when you think about like reading fiction , you think about it being like made up , so like . A perfect example of this is in Percy Jackson , Rick Riordan , the author talks about the St Louis Arch and in the book spoilers . If you haven't read this , which I mean it's been out for a long time , I'm pretty sure most people know .
Speaker 2There's multiple shows and movies too . It's fine . It's been years , I think . He where , like Percy , is like fighting a monster or whatever at the top of the arch and he jumps out the window into the river . Well , rick had never been to St Louis and didn't realize how far the arch actually is from the river for that to be a thing . So when they readapted it into the show they had to find like a workaround obviously , and like kind of update the story a little bit so that way he can like make it to the river in time .
Speaker 2So things like that just make me think like , yeah , you can talk about real places , but because it's fiction and you're making things up , I never think that like people would actually go and do research to make it realistic , which I appreciate .
Speaker 1So I'm good on her . I think about it more when it's like a story set in like medieval time or when it's in a certain time period , but when it's like something in the present , something like this like a funny romance book , like I do not think about people doing research , so it is really me and I could never be an author . Oh , no , but yeah , so it's cool .
Speaker 2The mind mapping that you have to do too , and so it's so interesting to the way she talks about how she started off as one like the book going one way , but then , as she's writing , she starts taking it a completely different way . It's almost like the characters are developing the book for her and not her writing the book itself , and I've heard of a lot of authors that , like , have that happen for them too , and so I find that fascinating as well and that's going to be cool for them , for kind of like a validating feeling almost for them that their characters have such a hold on them that I'm sure that it'll have a hold on like the readers too , If they can influence the book that much for the person actually writing it .
Speaker 1I mean our girl , Sarah J Mass . Of course I'm going to bring her up , but I know I think it was one of the Crescent City books where she wrote it and then she literally like she wrote the whole book and then she started over because she was like this isn't right and she rewrote it . They just know , yeah , so I don't know .
Speaker 2I would love to like have like a deep conversation with an author and like how they plan out books too , because , like you know that she had to have like this written out process .
Speaker 1And .
Speaker 2I'm sure every author is different in like their planning process . But , like , do you like map it out ? Do you just like draft it ? Do you bullet point list it and then like , as you're writing , like and you realize that , okay , so it's not Aiden who's going to be doing the breaking of the heart , it's Frankie Do you go back and revise , then your like draft or mind map and to then go back and start writing the story again , or do you just let the story go and you're just writing and you'll go back and edit later , kind of thing I'd be fascinated to learn more about that .
Speaker 2Maybe we can interview some authors yes , and the aspiring authors out there hit us up .
Speaker 1Yeah , on Lazy Girl Library . That's our Instagram , and everything , yep , absolutely everything .
Speaker 2Find us anywhere yeah .
Speaker 1Lazy Girl Library . Do you read another book by Lucy Scor I ?
Speaker 2think I would and I looked up because I'm horrible with author names , so I didn't realize that I actually have a couple of her books on my TBR on Goodreads until I was like looking up other books by hair and then I came across them and was like , oh , I didn't realize . So obviously some of them intrigued me . So I'm interested and especially because for me if the writing style wasn't bad , like if I enjoyed like the writing of it , and it was just the story itself , I didn't have , I didn't like I'm more willing to give another book by that author a shot because maybe it's just this specific story . I mean , there's so many books out there by authors where it's like some are hits , some are misses , so I'll give her like maybe one or two more books to see whether it's something I want to like truly is like start pursuing or like keep up with , like her latest releases . But it seems like she has a lot out by the looks of it .
Speaker 1Yeah , I would definitely read another one of her books because she does seem to be pretty popular , have a few popular books . So I don't know , part of me is like maybe we're being too hard and we were just wanting a different story . Like like maybe we just went into it with our own wants , yeah , but we didn't write the book , so maybe we just got to read the back because it wasn't that bad . It was just different than what we expected , right . Well , it did get boring , yeah . Yeah , because at the beginning was great , right , that wedding part was so good and that's what I hold on to .
Speaker 2It gives me hope for , like all these other books , is because it's again . It's not the writing , because , like she obviously can write a compelling story it's just the way that this story took off and I feel like it lost its plot .
Speaker 1I think it I feel like she was starting to use like spice to keep the story going to , like make it move along , which that doesn't work for me . It doesn't for me either .
Speaker 2I skimmed them because I just didn't .
Speaker 1Oh my gosh , I skipped them all .
Speaker 2Yeah , it doesn't work for me if I'm not connected to the character .
Speaker 1It's like the actual plot , like exactly what am I waiting ?
Speaker 2for I don't know . Nope , it wasn't for me in that sense , but it does . Yeah , the little beginning part gave me hope moving forward . And just so you guys are aware , she is the author of the Things we Never Got Over , which was on my list . I think that's one with the blue cover and the daisies on it that I've seen all over TikTok . So to go through the list that she has on her book , it's the Knock them Out series , but the Nevalence series , riley Thorne novels , blue Moon series , stand alone , bootleg Spring series there's so many and within each series there's like at least three to five books , if not more . So there's a lot out there by her .
Speaker 1So I wonder how old she is . I don't know . We can do a deep dive yeah . I kind of want to look her up real quick because , like that's a lot of books and I'm wondering , like she's just whipping them out . Oh , she seems like younger . Okay , authors are not like other celebrities . It doesn't just list their age on when you look them up . Lucyscoreage says at 13, . She stole her first romance novel off her mother's bookshelf and never looked back .
Speaker 2Oh , she's cute , she's cute .
Speaker 1Yeah , she does look younger . She was born January 30th 1980 . So let me do some math so she's 44 .
Speaker 2Wow , she's cranked out a lot of books .
Speaker 1She has cranked out a lot of books Good for her . Yeah , that is really cool , but then also it makes me a little weary of . Are you taking enough time while you're writing the ?
Speaker 2books for the story Right ? Are you just whipping them out or are you thinking through it all ?
Speaker 1But , as I said , I could never be an author , nope , so I don't know the process .
Speaker 2Respect to them , for sure .
Speaker 1And I do want to give another one of her books to try . I think it could be better . I really did like that wedding section , yeah .
Speaker 2I think that's definitely something that we both think like , wish happened . More was just like more of the wedding or more of something , just more plot than just the relationship and how Frankie sucked throughout it .
Speaker 1Yeah , speaking of the relationship , did the romance work ?
Speaker 2No , not for me , it didn't , and it's because Frankie was too selfish , she was too self-centered , she was just awful , honestly , to Aiden the whole time . And so , as much as I , the romance worked for me , for Aiden , like I fell in love with Aiden .
Speaker 2So in that romance way , yes , but for the book itself , no , it wasn't . I couldn't relate to them . I couldn't , I didn't even like on an emotional level , connect with the relationship at all , which I think is important . When you're writing a romance to like , you feel it too and you feel giddy when you're reading about it . But you know , she took me out of it .
Speaker 1Yeah , I mean for me . I guess it works to an extent because the author makes it work she's the one who writes it . But Aiden totally deserved better and , like Frankie just needed someone different . Like if she was going to be so stuck up about someone who's so nice to her , then like maybe she deserved someone toxic .
Speaker 2But you know what did work for me ? The bromance between Aiden and Frankie's brothers .
Speaker 1That was like , like I said in the beginning , that was one of my favorite parts , like oh , it was such a good dynamic , honestly , like well , I don't know her other books , but if she did a spin off , like with one of her brothers , as like the romance , like one of the lead guys , I would read that because they both seemed really like sweet and like cool and I loved reading that part .
Speaker 2Yeah , I love the way that they were like really protective of Frankie , but then also come could see her flaws not so protective and so like overbearing about it . That like when anything happened or Frankie got upset with Aiden , like they didn't take it to heart against .
Speaker 1Aiden either knowing how . Frankie can be .
Speaker 2Because I think that's a really fine balance , just like in life too , because obviously people have flaws and sometimes people are going to be wrong , and I feel like in a lot of like books or romances or movies , whatever that you watch a lot of times , like especially family can can like take away from the other character or like shun them because of one thing that happened that maybe wasn't even their fault , because they're only getting one side of the story , it's just because of their loved one , which obviously you want to support your loved one , but and they I think so I think that the brothers handled that dynamic and that relationship beautifully , by supporting their sister but also recognizing the flaws , and that there are two sides to each story .
Speaker 1Yeah , and I think it helped for Aiden's like character arc in a sense of like it was almost like found family , like they were so kind to him , treated them as a brother should when he had his own , like awful relationship with his brother or half brother .
Speaker 2Absolutely .
Speaker 1So I think for Aiden's development to like , the brothers were so good for him , whereas Frankie was not good for him .
Speaker 2Right , give him the family that he never had , but it was still working on the relationship that he deserves . Yeah .
Speaker 1Yeah , also something I wish that happened that I want to share in the book . I wish that we had started . So this would have been my perfect expectations of the book . Like for this book to right , pay me a picture .
Speaker 1Yeah , for this book to have been five stars , it would have started at the beginning of the wedding process and went through like each wedding event . So , yes , it started at the engagement party , but we could even go back to like the proposal or like to when they're being asked and like that's when they're introduced and then , like each thing is its own like interaction and so , like , maybe at the wedding dress or when the bridesmaids are buying their dress , aiden shows up for some like snobby , rich reason , or vice versa , like Frankie has to go to the suit fitting because crew can't go , and then that's when , like Aiden like does something , or that's when they have their like little moments of getting to meet and like Aiden's like kind of being an asshole , but like like a hot one , yeah , and then that's when they developed like a connection , like during those moments he like buys her , her bridesmaids dress for her and she gets so mad at him .
Speaker 1She's like I can take care of myself , yes . And finally , the weddings at the end , and then , like , during the kidnapping of the of the groom , and at the ending , like this is when they get deep . And during the kidnapping is when they finally like understand each other and like the hating , like really like . This is where it like finally like goes away . Yeah , so not like like . That would have been my perfect snare . I don't know if I explained it well .
Speaker 2Sounds like a five star book to me , honestly , that is what I wanted .
Speaker 1So basically a whole new story , except for the wedding kidnapping part . I just wanted that at the end .
Speaker 2Same same , like little bit , just like just . We wanted all the extra details in between . So , yeah , no , I completely agree and I would read that book . Honestly , that's what we expected , and I think that you definitely should write a book or something like that .
Speaker 1Because you know someone can steal my idea . Take it and write it , because I can't , but just send me a free copy and I'll read it .
Character Break Downs
Speaker 1Do you want to kind of like break down each character , like talk about maybe each character and some of our favorite parts about them and least favorite ?
Speaker 2Sure Um . My favorite part about Aiden was never willing to give up , like he knew what he wanted and he was going to do absolutely everything in his power to get it . But contrary to typical billionaire trope guys , he was so respectful about it too . He wasn't like super alpha male Like you know .
Speaker 1He's kind of like he's been reading Crescent City Alpha male .
Speaker 2Yeah , he wasn't like I mean he starts off like some of his thoughts in the beginning here , kind of like I always get what's mine , or like I just want you whatever , like kind of starting that , but you come to realize that it's like it's the painting on the outside , not what's truly on his inside , and that he's just like determined that he loves Frankie and is going to do anything in once , frankie and I love that about him . I honestly I don't even know if I have a negative for him . The thing I don't like maybe just like the way that he dealt with his family and like the way he dealt with the wedding , where he's like so nonchalant about it , like this is normal , because it's clearly not normal , but even then I can't fault him for that , because it's just kind of like the world that he comes from and that's just how you have to handle that in that world , I guess . Or the world that Lucy made . Yeah , so yeah , no no flaws for me .
Speaker 1Yeah , I think my favorite part about Aiden was like the way his insecurities came through when he would ask Frankie's brothers for advice . Like that was really cute and so I really liked . I just liked their whole dynamic and the fact that he was okay enough to like ask for help , Like he liked Frankie so much and he wasn't like he wasn't a hypocrite or too snobby to say like I need help , Like how do I get her . So I really liked that about him . Something negative about Aiden , I guess that well , I guess a flaw in his insecurities was like being too scared to tell Frankie certain things , or like at the wedding when he wasn't like explaining enough about his brother , which I get they had just met then .
Speaker 1So it's like harder , but I guess that would be a flaw . So like he definitely could have explained , like he could have dug himself out of the holes that he put himself in Absolutely .
Speaker 2But at the same time too , Frankie really didn't give him the time of day to even try . This is true .
Speaker 1This is true . I'm not going to list all the things I didn't like about Frankie , because it was a lot .
Speaker 2It was too long .
Speaker 1Something that I did like was her family and friends Yep .
Speaker 2That about sums it up . Yeah , so I'm trying to think something I like about Frankie . I appreciate that she is willing to go to bat for her friend and like put herself out on the line and like Make sure that her friend is having the most amazing day . Like I appreciate that , as much as it kind of went too much to the extreme and she wouldn't like believe her friend when her friends like this is okay . She kind of like she took the grudge on that . She thought that her friend should have had yeah , and I didn't appreciate that part . But the intent behind in looking out for her I can't appreciate she was a very good mate of honor .
Speaker 1Yes , she did her duty , she did her role . She found the groom . Yes , I will give her props there . She definitely cares for pru , sometimes a little too much . Yeah , I did love pru , though Prue and chip . I liked them both .
Speaker 2Yeah , I think Chip was just kind of a flat character for me , but it didn't . It was not not a bad way , cuz like obviously he wasn't meant to be like a super dynamic character within the plot , so I don't hold that against like the book at all . He was just kind of like the fun little golden retriever boy that throughout the whole thing like everything's fine and this is fun and I love . You know my wife . Yeah , but prove for me I loved because as much as she was part of like the super rich society and like is used to certain things that like Frankie wasn't , she was never Afraid to like invite Frankie , the things or the pull Frankie into her world and was never .
Speaker 2I never wanted Frankie to be anybody but herself in those situations too , and like would stand up for her when necessary , which I think was really important . I think that she also wasn't afraid to put Frankie in her place . So like on those times too , when Frankie's being stupid and like holding the grudge for pru that pru wasn't even having , she would tell her like she was being , she would let out , be like you're being stupid right now , and I think pru was a really good friend and I think it is a really good making of a friend , like in the real world too .
Speaker 1Yeah , have a lot of good qualities . I liked how pru wasn't like Stereotypical , like rich girl , like how the bridesmaids were portrayed , like she was genuine and , like you said , like she can just Stand up for herself , have her own like values , like be a great girl and also really like nice things , yeah , and really have a good expensive taste , and that's fine too , yep .
Speaker 2So I liked how she was portrayed confident in her own self , to not have to be worried about the insecurities of anything else .
Speaker 1Yeah , and I like chip too . But again he was also just kind of like pass her by .
Speaker 2Yeah , yeah , but the relationship was really cute .
Speaker 1Yeah , you can definitely tell that they loved each other .
Speaker 2Yeah , yeah , it was cute though it was cute the read through and you're kind of like , oh , and you could see it , because it was , like I said , the wedding part really reminded Me rom-com , so it was really easy for me to picture it all and like just seeing the puppy dog love between the two of them and being their own bubble , regardless of what happened , is such a rom-com thing .
Speaker 1So it was so easy for me to like visualize to and be like ah , I wish you could have seen more of the bridesmaids and the groomsmen Dynamic , like I feel like we learned nothing about the groomsmen , but I feel like they had potential to be like cool , fun characters , even if they were like like snobby , rich guys like they , I think , could have been portrayed like funny and like they could have Added to the story and she kind of sets you up in that way where you think that they're gonna be more involved .
Speaker 2She's telling you a little like giving you like bits and pieces about them , but then it never really comes to fruition , other than like the one bridesmaid who like Causes Frankie to like dip from the relationship because of what she thought was happening , yeah , which you could kind of guess was gonna happen too .
Speaker 1The author does do a good job of setting up the bridesmaids to make you hate them . Yeah , I definitely did not want to spend a second with them , no , but the groomsmen , they seem to cool , like I'd want to hang out with them , but she did do a good job too with the bridesmaids where you really hated the one that ended up causing the problem later .
Speaker 2Yeah , the other two she made just and just annoying enough for you to sympathize with Frankie being in that situation , but not hate them enough to where they're kind of more like the comic relief or , like you know , the funny part of the the book for , like when they did pop up occasionally , mm-hmm .
Speaker 1So and then for Aiden's family . Obviously she wants , the author wants you to love like bio mom , and I definitely did love bio mom . She's like super oh yeah super nice , super sweet . I felt almost like we didn't need Everybody else in the family . We only need like one of them , like just the brother or just the dad , or just the step mom .
Speaker 1Like having all three of them be like the big bad family . It was almost like too much , like I didn't , I didn't need yeah , all of them like I got it . I understand like he does on this family , like they're not great . Right but I don't think I needed each of them .
Speaker 2If that makes right to like still sympathize with Aiden and like I don't see why he is insecure about things right and it's kind of like she threw them in there to help , because it's kind of like the stereotypical thing with like the billionaires trope to have in there . But I agree , because she was doing something different with the billionaires trope than every other book . I don't think it was necessary to pull in that thing that everybody else does , because you're you're switching , you're switching it up a little bit , so you stick with that like be strong and that don't like take the same things from other , like books , like that kind of thing . Yeah , yeah , I didn't add to the story at all , I don't think . Yeah .
Speaker 1And then finally , frankie's family . I liked all of them . I forget why she got annoyed with her mom , but she was really annoyed with her mom for , oh , because she would always like Set her up .
Speaker 2Yeah , yeah and like constantly like not wanting her to be by herself , which like yeah , as annoying . I think we all can like relate to that for at least not , maybe not everybody , but it's like a normal thing for like moms to want to do my mom definitely .
Speaker 1Anytime there was a cute guy would like say something , or there's this one story that comes to mind . Sorry , I'm gonna know what I do it .
Speaker 1But there's this one time we were at this store , like played against sports , where they sell used stuff , and I'd asked the the guy at the register who was about my age , maybe a little bit older . I was like , hey , do you guys have a like a spike ball set ? And he was like , oh no , we don't . And then my mom was like , oh well , maybe you could text us if you get one in . And I was like weird . And then she was like okay , darby , give him your number . And I was like mom , and so he did text me , but I didn't text him back . I was like , okay , mom , maybe let me I'll hop in there .
Speaker 2It's really funny . It's funny to listening to that because you're such an outgoing person , so normally it's like the moms with like the more shy people that don't put themselves out there , that they're putting themselves out there for them . But you're such an outgoing but like personality , that's like it's funny that your mom did that for you .
Speaker 1She's definitely . She's a character . She's funny . I love her . I wouldn't want to grow up any other way .
Speaker 2I think it helped to make me as outgoing as I am , seeing her be outgoing , and I mean , there's so many times my sister and I would get so mad at my mom Because , like we would be out somewhere , whatever the grocery store , and be like , oh my gosh , that cashier is so cute . And then we'd get to the checkout line and my mom would literally go . My daughters think you're so cute .
Speaker 1We were just talking about it .
Speaker 2Oh my gosh , I think my mom would do that . I would be mortified , like how could you do this to us ? And it's like we're like middle school too .
Speaker 1So it's like even worse .
Speaker 2Or like oh my god , I'm gonna die right here , like how could you ?
Speaker 1I feel like my mom was more insisting that we thought they were cute , being like oh you're so handsome , dear . Like like her saying like oh you're so cute . And you mean like If she had said that , like if my mom had done that , I would have been I Probably not in my skin like she never means anything wrong by it , like she was just trying to make them feel good about themselves , you know .
Speaker 2but oh my gosh In my sister that would get so mad at her for it . Yeah , I think everybody can relate to that type of mom , but I don't think I don't know it didn't warrant all of the annoyance that Frankie had about it too and like being so hard on her mom about it .
Speaker 1Yeah , Also . I get that like the dad was supposed to be like distant , but he was almost like too like- .
Speaker 2I don't even remember the dad which I think points in your point Exactly . Yeah .
Speaker 1Cause when they go over for lunch I think he's like sitting in front of the TV and he literally says like nothing the whole time . But I feel like with the brothers and the mom like I get what she was going for , but I feel like he still needed to have a little more like family priority aspect to him . I liked her family , yeah .
Speaker 2Her family is great . His family is not , but that's okay because that was meant to be . Yeah , so it did its purpose . So what are your like ? Final thoughts on the book . Let's get to our star ratings .
Speaker 1So I gave it 2.7 and I think that's being generous . It just didn't meet my expectations and I , like I said earlier , I just I think it tried to have this spice and smut carry it which , like it's an O for me , dog Aiden is what carried it for me .
Speaker 2Yeah , yeah , for me too . I gave it . You were much more generous than I was . I gave it a one star , which we can get into our star ratings too . I think in another episode we should definitely do that , how we rate books differently . But yeah , overall I was not a fan , it was just disappointing , and for me if a book feels more like a chore to finish , then it's an immediate one star for me .
End of Spoilers
Speaker 1That was the book . It sucked it did .
Speaker 2But it's okay , Lucy , don't take it personally . We will try out other books because we did enjoy your writing . It's just this specific story that wasn't for us . It's not our cup of tea , but let us know if it was your cup of tea . If you read with us , leave us comments on our Instagram , at least the girl library . You can also reach out at our website on our comments form blazygirllibrarycom .
Speaker 1Let us know what you thought yeah , I know this was a little repetitive , because unfortunately this was a book we didn't like , and so there were just a few things that we really didn't like about it .
Speaker 2It was a lackluster book , so not a whole lot to talk about .
Speaker 1Yeah , other things that we didn't like we are getting ready to pick out our book for next month . So , again , keep updated on our Instagram , lazygirllibrary , so you can be the first to know what we are going to read next month for our book club , and we will probably mention it on the next podcast as well what we're going to be reading . Stay tuned . But this was so much fun doing our first book club and book talk together and I'm excited to talk about a book that we do like with you guys . That'll be fun . And then stay tuned because next week will be a bookish podcast . So meaning we are not going to be talking about books , or no , we're going to talk about books .
Speaker 1But we're not going to be talking about a specific book and doing a book club , but we are going to just be talking about a bookish topic .
Speaker 2Stay tuned for that . Come back , please . We love you .
Borrows & Returns
Speaker 2But speaking of books that we do like or maybe don't , I don't know we can get into our boroughs and returns .
Speaker 1Yes , okay , yeah , boroughs and returns . So unfortunately , mine is the exact same as last podcast .
Speaker 2It's hard , it's sometimes . You know it just is what it is . Yeah , you don't . Sometimes you have a lot of time to read , other times you get no time to read .
Speaker 1I was sick this past week and I had my birthday before I got sick . Yes , happy birthday , darby . Thank you 26 . But so , yeah , not a lot of time to be reading . So House of Flame and Shadow is one of my boroughs that I'm still reading , and that's almost a thousand pages , so I'm halfway through with it , or a little .
Speaker 2Wow , look at you , thank you .
Speaker 1So that one . Just I knew that was going to take me a while . And then how to Win Friends and Influence People . I'm still just like that . One's more like a back burner book for me . So this one might stay in my boroughs for quite some time , because this one I'm just kind of like . It's just like a touch and go book . Yeah , I feel like it's meant to be that kind of book too .
Speaker 1I think so . Yeah , Unless , like I'm sure there are some people that like really want to hone in on these habits , but for me it's more of like reminders . So that's kind of why I'm reading the book , is just kind of like a refresh and , yeah , good reminders for me . And then Returns again . Everybody Always was the Last Book that I finished by Bob Goff . I love that man . I think of him as like another granddad . He's so cute , yeah , and just like sweet and loves .
Speaker 2Jesus , my boroughs . Same one from last week , house of Sky and Breath , but because I did finish the book club book , I started reading that one a little bit more . That one's getting good . It surprised me a little bit because normally or at least the first book it took a while . It was a long , like build up , whereas this one , I mean , I'm like maybe 20% the way through it and it already . I had one of those like oh my gosh . Moments when I was reading . I was literally sitting here on the couch and I read it and I like I'm home alone and I'm talking to myself out loud because like that's what it was like . It shocked me . I was like oh my gosh , I didn't see this coming , like what the heck , what's ?
Speaker 1going on . Well , get ready , because House of Flame and Shadow is all gas and no brakes from the get go . It's as if you're reading the last 100 pages of a serenade . Oh my God , like it's just it's going .
Speaker 2I don't know if my heart can handle that Constantly like like beating , like I'm having a heart attack . So yeah , but like I said , I'm like maybe 20% of the way through that book , so still got a long way to go with it but I am really enjoying it so far . Another of my boroughs is 10% Happier by Dan Harris . It has like it's one of those books that's like 10% Happier colon and it has a really long extra title . But if you look up 10% Happier by Dan Harris , like it'll come up .
Speaker 1What kind of book is it ?
Speaker 2It's like a self help meets memoir kind of book . I'm still I'm doing it on audiobooks . I found that I can't do audiobooks for like these two , like the worst best man or like any , like serenade masks , but I really enjoy an audiobook for like a memoir or a self help . It's easier for me to read it that way than to read the physical book and so it's kind of like a podcast in that way . So I've started doing that . I have like the one physical and then like the one audio that I'm kind of listening to . So this is what I'm doing on audio , still early on in it .
Speaker 2But Dan Harris is I don't know if he still is , but he was , at least when he was talking about it a reporter for ABC News and it's basically a book about how meditation helps with your mental health and so he kind of takes you through the story of his life a little bit and how and the journey that he went on to find and how he ended up on meditation and how much it's improved his life and his happiness , mental health kind of thing . So it's not a full memoir because the stories that he does tell about his life and what he goes in the detail are like there's a purpose to them and not just like the word vomit of . This is everything that's happened to me in my life kind of thing .
Speaker 2But it is .
Speaker 2It's kind of like a hybrid .
Speaker 2So I'm just now starting to get into the part where he's like finding and discovering things about like how he was depressed and like talking to a therapist and like you know , maybe he read like this book that he thought was going to be crazy because , or like that the author was like psycho , crazy person for like a story that he was doing because I guess the author was from like really highly rated and like Oprah loves him , like had her on his show , kind of thing .
Speaker 2But like when he like sees him and reads about like what the book is about , he's like but this guy seems crazy , like what the heck is all the hype ? And so he reads the book and it's kind of like self validating because he is crazy . But at the same time as he's reading it it's kind of eye opening because it's talking about like the psyche and like how the , basically how the little voice in your head is the worst and how it causes you so many problems , and so now it's starting to ramp up into . Okay , I don't necessarily agree with everything this guy says , but he makes some really valid points that hit home for me . So he's starting to do more research into it , and so now we're kind of finding out the journey on how he has gotten to the place that he is with his mental health and like meditation and how much it's made him better and happier .
Speaker 2But it's very like , realistic and like . In his little note in the beginning he talks about how it's not the cure all by any means . But that's why he named the book 10% happier , because it helps make you just 10% happier than where you were .
Speaker 1That's really nice .
Speaker 2I think that's been kind of enjoyable and I've been really . I've been really enjoying that so far and I'm curious to see now that it's really starting the rainbow we got all the backstory out of the way His journey to find meditation , like where he's at right now .
Speaker 1Okay cool , that does sound really interesting . You'll have to let me know I will , it's on .
Speaker 2Spotify . I mean . That's why I love the new audiobooks Spotify unspotified .
Speaker 1That's been great . You know what else I love on Spotify ? This podcast called Crazy Girl Library .
Speaker 2I'm one of my favorites .
Speaker 1No , that is really cool that Spotify has audiobooks now that you can just listen to Exactly .
Speaker 2Speaking of which , though , for my returns . I did forget to mention it in our last episode as a borrow , but it was another audiobook that I found on Spotify . It's Jessica Simpson's memoir called Open Book . I saw it after I'd finished the Britney Spears one that we had read for our book club before we started this podcast . I decided to give it a shot because I enjoyed the Britney Spears one . Oh my gosh , I cannot recommend this book enough . It was so good I preferred it . It's hard to say you prefer a memoir because it's a jewelry about a person's life , but the Jessica Simpson one gave me everything I was looking for from the Britney Spears one that I didn't get .
Speaker 2She's the one that narrates it to you . That's really nice . It starts off kind of bizarre to me . I don't know how this is going to go , but then she eventually comes back to the beginning of her life and takes you through everything that's happened . But she does a fantastic job of keeping things real . She holds herself accountable when she needs to hold herself accountable . Things are happening with other people because obviously , throughout her life with Nicholas Shea and John Mayer , there are things that happen she talks about it and negative things that have happened within those relationships , but in a very respectful way of these people too . It's not just like a bashing these people . These people are the worst , and this is why this happened to me and whatever .
Speaker 1That's interesting because I feel like Jessica Simpson for us , or maybe just for me . I knew about her growing up , but I still feel like I was a little too young . Did you grow up being a big Jessica Simpson fan ? No , I was the same way . It was one of those things that with you .
Speaker 2One of my favorite songs to this day still is the only really Jessica Simpson song that I know , but it is . It's one of those things . You were just a little bit too young so I kind of heard about it . Or like , when you're going through the grocery store line or check out , I'll you see all the tabloids that's how I knew of Jessica Simpson . So that's funny when I'm listening to this audiobook because I remember seeing all these stories and tabloids and things that would pop up about her and she addresses a lot of women , talks about like the behind the scenes of it all and she gets really , really emotional their parts because she's the one that's narrating it that you can tell like she's crying and getting through it and it makes you feel really emotional listening to her and yeah , she takes you just through her whole life and everything up until now in this point and she has an amazing clothing line business that I didn't even know .
Speaker 1Oh , I actually have Jessica Simpson shoes . Really , I got them in high school . I don't know if I have them anymore , but I didn't know that she had a line , because I've shocked it .
Speaker 2I had no idea . I always thought like when I heard , like at Jessica Simpson line , it's like one of those like collabs with Kohl's kind of thing .
Speaker 1Yeah , or like the Kylie Kendall Paxson .
Speaker 2Right , exactly . Then you always see like a bunch of celebrities do like that's what I always thought , but then like listening to her book and it's like no , she actually has her own brand and it's doing phenomenal . It's like a billion dollar business .
Speaker 1So she's killing it .
Speaker 2Yep , happy for her , proud of you , jessica . But yeah , it was really interesting to learn about these things and I appreciated the way that she wrote it . It is very much like reading her diary , which I guess is like how it inspired , because she does keep diaries throughout it . But she gave you a lot more detail into things , which I think is what I was missing from like the Britney Spears one , or like she would skip over certain parts that I wanted to know more about that one was so sporadic , though I feel like Britney Spears , you can't compare it to that one , because , yeah , it's true but it kind of like it left me wanting more .
Speaker 2so then when I went into this one , it scratched that itch for me a little bit . You can't like , you can't compare , because it's different lives but different people . Britney Spears is a lot going on , absolutely absolutely . But it was interesting , especially because they come from the same time too . So Jessica would talk about certain things like Britney Spears and like competing with her and whatever , and having just listened to that , I was like , oh , I remember listening to this kind of thing . So yeah , overall I gave it a four stars . It was really really good . I enjoyed it and I do recommend it . But I recommend the audiobook version because you do get her like emotional reading from it and it really makes you like connect with her more and the story that she's telling then like reading it physically .
Speaker 1No , I definitely want to try that out . That sounds really cool . Well , that was our burrows and returns and , on that note , I think it's time for us to go .
