I joined a new book club which I am enjoying. I have an issue though. One member is a speed reader. After every book is announced she will have it finished that evening. (We have 2 weeks to read it!) I recieved my book today and got a message in the chat! “Curious to see what everyone thinks of the ending? I hated it” every time!!! It makes me mad - I’m in the club to try and make friends and I have a problem with being too direct- so I’m hoping another group member will address it. Is this normal? She’s not spoiling it- but starting a book & knowing that the ending “has a twist” or “isn’t great” is so annoying.
You can joke about it first and ask them to not spoil even in a subtle way? “Wow how could you read so fast! I think I’m going to use up my two weeks :) Also, please don’t share details like that until we meet. It’s not a spoiler but even knowing there’s a twist in the end takes away from the pleasure of facing it in the end! Thanks!”
