I loved Tom Lake, but it was definitely a slow burn! And now I'm absolutely subscribing since far too many blogs/influencers recommend the best books of the year that already have 249 readers waiting from the library!

I am about to start Tom Lake on audiobook today and curious to see what I will think as well!

Blake Brown?! That’s fascinating. Okay so Tom Lake was slow for me / not my favorite! (And I love AP!) That was before all the hype even, so I’m always like what did I miss that everyone is obsessed?! Felt similar to you with apples! I wanted to shake the mom. wtf?! lol.

Apples: that mom was....dumb, IDK. I just don't think it was realistic in terms of how people actually act. I'm three episodes into the miniseries and I have qualms there too. But I'm still watching -ha!

She was dumb, wasn’t she? I had the same thoughts about how unrealistic!
