Book Club: The Girl on the Train

When you hear over and over about how great a book is you eventually have to give in and read it. November’s book club pick, The Girl on the Train, was hosted by Skylar. So many books have been written recently that have a “twist” at the end it is becoming harder to trick the reader. However, either our book club was off their game or Paula Hawkins did a nice job of keeping us guessing. Read this book before it becomes a movie!

The Cocktail

Skylar had to go with Gin and Tonics. She knew that no one would really want to drink them out of a can (as the main character did) so she just went with mixing them up! 

Overall, there was not a lot of eating in the book that would have made a good themed meal. On the other hand there was a lot, and we mean A LOT, of drinking so we went with it!

Each course included alcohol from Limoncello, Vodka to Brandy.
