Get The Company We Keep Chronicled By Mary Monroe Readable In Version

read other reviews on this book and it seems a few didn't like the fact that she didn't have a lot of drama.
I on the other hand appreciated the fact that there wasn't a lot of drama, Life is drama! Sometimes I just want to escape and read something entertaining, This book answered my craving, I will admit that I've had this book for a while now however, I finished it in two days, Not my type of book at all, OKAY. All I have to say is, . . what happened I am a huuuge fan of Mary Monroe, but this one just did not do it for me.
The plot was . . what plot A very boring, dry read, I got through the book in about four hours because I couldn't stop reading, just WAITING and ANTICIPATING something, anything to happen.
Nope, never did. The characters were dry and the main character was definitely overdeveloped, left no room for even a halfway decent plot.
Thoroughly disappointed! Very disappointed. I've read a few of her other books, and this one was subpar, I feel like I wasted my time, Good entertaining book. Not one of Mary Monroe's better works, I listened to this as a book on tape, The narrator was good. Story line, characters predictable. A light, amusing read. I am begining to realize that my amusement when reading/listening to Mary Monroe's books may not be for the same reasons as other folks.
To me her books are over the top, but I like them just the same, The book was good in the end, But it took halfway through the book for it to get good, I almost put the book down because it was taking forever to get interesting, Not one of her better books, "New York Times" bestselling author Mary Monroe's extraordinary novel celebrates life, love, and the power of sisterhoodproving that friends, like fine wine, only get better with age.

Gorgeous, successful executive Teri Stewart spends her days working for L, A.

With her life finally falling into place, Teri thinks her dreams might come true after all, But Harrison may have a secret that could change everything, . . Passionflix

.This was just okay for me, Actors were great. Content not so much. I couldnt tell who Teri was in love with, Not sure whos the better man, No real connection for any of them,
What was the point of the friend dating the guy shes planning to move in with That storyline was lacking.
Just wasnt it for me, This book was very interesting and well written, First and last time reading this author, . . The Company We Keep seemed somehow disjointed, and the shameless name dropseven of fictional celebritiesgrated on my nerves, Truthfully, even Teri wasn't very likable, although I did like Nicole quite a bit better, I wish I'd enjoyed this book more, Enjoyed this book. I always enjoy her books, I had to read this book for my book club, It is not a book that I would typically pick up, but I tried to keep and open mind, However, it was terrible. There was absolutely no plot, I felt like I wasted an afternoon of my life reading this book,

I think it could of ended differently, . . This was my first book by this author read for book club and I hope the rest of her books are not this poorly written.
The characters were under developed and erratic, New characters introduced and then never heard from again, This was okay. It kept my attention because I wanted to know what would happen, It didn't really turn out that great to me though! Going going gone,
There was never a climax in this story, Not certain why we needed to know about Victor, Miguel, or the grandparents, That whole thing about blind date with the escort was rhetoric, Perhaps there was to be a sequel to tie it all together and make it all meaningful, Good storyline and writing bad middle and ending, This would make a good movie, but it just didn't pop like her other books as I expected it too.
