All I Want by Darcey Bell

February 28, 2022 by RaRaGabor Leave a Comment

Every once in a while, I read a blurb for a new book and put a hold on it through the library. Most of the time, I completely forget I’ve done this until the book shows up on my desk. So All I Want showed up on my desk, and I had absolutely no recollection of why I wanted to read it. The premise is interesting enough: pregnant woman and her Broadway producer husband buy spooky old house in the country. Even better: spooky old […]

This movie can’t be anything like the book…

A Simple Favor by Darcey Bell

December 28, 2019 by octothorp Leave a Comment

I don’t want to give too much away, but the simple casting of Anna Kendrick as Stephanie, the mommy blogger main character means that this movie had to be drastically different from what was on the page. And though I am curious about the film and will give it a fair shake, having Kendrick play Stephanie is a near certainty that my favorite part of the book will get lost – which is that Stephanie is kind of a low watt bulb. The best friend […]

How did this get made into a movie?

A Simple Favor by Darcey Bell

November 22, 2018 by Caitlin_D 1 Comment

How did this get made into a movie? A movie with Academy Award nominee Anna Kendrick and social media maven Blake Lively! Also, how do I write a review that properly encapsulates my disdain for this novel without spoiling the shit out of it? Does it matter if I spoil it, because none of you should ever read this… “You’d be amazed by what people will do. Things they’d never admit to anyone—not even to themselves.” Stephanie is a single mother whose husband died in […]

Be careful who you think your friends are

A Simple Favor by Darcey Bell

August 29, 2018 by kfishgirl 1 Comment

The book was better?… cbr10bingo So I literally picked up this book from the library because I saw the trailer for the movie.  It couldn’t have fit better into cbr10 bingo if I tried!  I’m someone who likes to read the book before watching the movie or TV show, so there are probably a lot of these that could fit this category. Looking at some stills from the movie and reading a little about it (today after I’m done reading the book), it looks like […]
