One of the problems with reading so much is it can be hard to be shocked by a twist. This one really got me, though. I loved the humor, the characters, the writing- this book was a really pleasant surprise for me.

I really wanted to like this book. It had some very cute parts, but it overall didn't seem like a cohesive story for me.

An dieses Buch hatte ich keine grossen Erwartungen; es war bloss ein weiterer Challenge-Titel.
Aber dann hat mich Sandra Dallas positiv überrascht und vor allem völlig verzaubert. "The Persian Pickkle Club" entpuppte sich als eine anrührende Kriminalgeschichte, in der jedoch nicht einmal der Krimiteil im Vordergrund steht.
In erster Linie geht es um Freundschaft und Treue, Zusammenhalt, vor allem während der schlechten Zeiten. Ich hatte eine wunderbare Zeit mit den Pickles und bin dankbar, dass diese Challenge dazu geführt hat, dass ich solch ein Buch entdecken durfte.

This book really took me awhile to finish. (Notice when I began to read it and when I finally finished, haha) It starts off soooo slow and there are so many characters to keep track of. It did get quite a bit better in the middle, but I never really fell in love with it. Plus the ending feels super rushed.
The book also took me forever to finish it because I lost it for a good while. Once I found it again I had to finish it. I hate leaving books unfinished.
