🌟 BOOK REVIEW🌟 🌟 💫 Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Honest confession upfront- I haven’t seen or read Election yet so went in blind about the book or the central character. That would be my suggestion to anyone(a minority surely like me!) because this has all the potential to give you a Big Little Lies vibe albeit in a small town environment. So we are introduced to this small town public high school in New Jersey and the events surrounding the principal election and an inaugural hall of fame induction through the view points of 6 protagonists from different walks of life and each with a dark past. We have Tracy Flick, the chief aspirant and front runner for the principal position, a single mother and about to undergo a breakup, obsessed about winning and making a difference. You have an ex- NFL superstar, Vito Falcone, an alumni, suffering blackouts and after assaulting his wife, is shown trying to make amends for his past. We have principal Jack Weede, about to enter into a journey across the country with his wife after her miraculous remission. And then we have the Superintendent, the student members of the selection board and family/ former students, each of their stories highlighting the bullying, lies, deceits, racism, manipulation and adultery built into the town, it’s school and it’s people. All this leading to an explosive induction ceremony. Although the themes are dark, the book is entertaining and though the dark humor aspect is a hit and miss on occasion, I was never bored for a moment. The end was a bit of a shocker but possibly the correct ending. The major problem was none of the characters really left a mark- Tracy Flick, though the protagonist, really isn’t there enough to leave a mark. That can be said about a lot of other characters and storylines- all there, all relevant but never fully explored. There’s lots packed in this 260ish page book and credit where it’s due, the author keeps it brisk from the word go. Overall a breezy quick fun read. #bookreview #bookstagram #tomperrotta #tracyflick #tracyflickcantwin #bookrecommendations #darkhumor #womenfiction #adultfiction #literaryfiction #booklife https://www.instagram.com/p/ChV5n64LLm4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Encore un bonheur de lecture en perspective «Mrs. Fletcher ou les tribulations d’une MILF» de Tom Perrotta a été encensé par le New York times qui y voit un roman plein d’esprit et provocant. «Mrs. Fletcher examine la sexualité, l’identité, la parentalité, et toutes les grandes erreurs que les gens peuvent faire lorsqu’ils ne sont plus sûrs de qui ils sont ou à quel monde ils appartiennent». #mrsfletcheroulestribulationsdunemilf #tomperrotta #fleuveeditions #hcdahlem #roman #unLivreunePage. #livre #lecture #books #littérature #lire #livresaddict #lectrices #lecteurs #lecteurscom #bouquiner #livresque #rentreelitteraire #rentree2019 #RL2019 #RentreeLitteraire2019 #Litteratureetrangere #thriller #lundiLecture https://collectiondelivres.wordpress.com/le-grand-guide-de-la-rentree-2019/ https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs6NmvYnxBs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18fj498vm6eqb

Yeah, yeah, working as a writer in Hollywood is cool and all, and sure I’ve seen lots of celebs on shows I’ve worked on, in restaurants, and in Soul Cycle.... BUT the only times I’ve been STAR-struck, like in a BIG way were when I got to meet famous writers. I was lucky enough to have dinner with David Crane once (if you don’t know who that is we must talk...) and then I got to meet Marta Kauffman a year or so later! (Eeek!) I saw Darren Star in Brentwood (I didn’t recognize him but figured it out...) BUT, one of my BFFs is now writing on the HBO show Mrs. Fletcher with Tom Perrotta and I haven’t met him (yet! Hint hint, Zander) but he’s one of my FAVORITE literary authors, starting with Election. And, I remember reading this exact copy of LITTLE CHILDREN holed up in my NYC apartment over one weekend. It’s prob my fav of all his books. AND, fun fact: this is the original hardcover of the book... but Pepperidge Farms threatened a lawsuit because of the goldfish cracker images on the cover... (the book has a sex offender in it and they didn’t want their crackers to be associated with such tawdry stuff). So the publisher had to pull all the books with these covers and put out a new edition with chocolate chip cookies on it. Anyway, now my book has been signed and I couldn’t be a happier booknerd about it! . . . . #booknerd #signedbook #autographed #tomperrotta #littlechildren #literary #novels #booklover #booklovers #authorsofinstagram #author #yaauthors #novelist #tvwriter #screenwriter #saturdayvibes #readbooks #writebooks #stan #nerdygirl #favoriteauthors #writehardplayhard #stmartinspress #bookcover #bookcoverdesign #goldfish (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqSUeXRA0zs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19pvs77w2knsm

know first who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.

terrible things happen in this world and the only comfort we get is that we didn't cause them.
