Pallas Poppies
I kind of read this in preparation for when everyone told me how great it is and that I have to read it just like they did with “Thursday Murder Club” which I first DNFed and then after more recommendations I finally pushed through and it was just meh. And I expected nothing else from this, but was pleasantly surprised, I liked it!
Rosie steals the show but I’m starting to feel that the glamorous hard drinking older woman is starting to become old, how many times has she been on page now? But I like Rosie.
Amy also feels a little bit done, a hard woman, rough upbringing and doesn’t like to talk about emotions… I’m still not sure how having a tough time growing up and then working at a gym can give you a job where you suddenly jump out of a chopper and throwing hand grenades but maybe we will find out in another book? Her background/job qualifying part was possibly my least favorite part… along with her hubby that felt kind of pointless but maybe he will be important later on.
I also liked Carlos… and the cat!
You need to go with it from the start and lean to the fun parts and read it like a comedy, things are convenient for the main characters and many things are unbelievable.
