This Other Eden - Paul Harding

 Well this book was .... something. The writing is rife with run on sentences that are supposed to be "literary" I'm sure. I am not sure we really found out much about many of the characters. Apparently the story is based on a true story, which isn't terribly surprising but is rather alarming for many reasons. If nothing else, this should be an interesting book club discussion.

The Glass Hotel - Emily St. John Mandel (Spoilers?)

Not sure what to make of this book. On the one hand, I liked parts of it. On the other hand, I am not sure what the point of it all was. At first, I thought the characters' lives would be more intertwined but that didn't really happen. It makes no sense to me that Vincent would just be able to integrate into some billionaire's life seamlessly, having just the right look, personality, emotional intelligence, etiquette, etc. Who knows. 

The Plot - Jean Hanff Korelitz

This is a real page turner, and I think it would make a good beach read. It was a fast read and I enjoyed the titular plot and seeing it come together, although I think I figured it out before I was supposed to.
