A Good Person by Kirsten King
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Well ok I went back and forth between feeling annoyed by her, sorry for her, and that she was utterly contemptible. i guess that was the point.

This was quite excellent. The ending made me do a double take but in the best way.
I enjoyed reading this and remember absolutely none of it just a few days later!
I really enjoy Carley Fortune stories even as I know where they are going. They are cozy and sweet and the characters are always imperfect and also wonderful. This was no exception. Add to that the beautiful setting of Tofino and it was just marvelous.
This was a very interesting concept for a book. It started like a character study where Soyoung meets Rose and they are getting to know each other. It was about family and connection and home. And then the sci-fi parts took over for a while where the reader learned more and more about the concept of instances and how this world works. I found the middle to be the most interesting, for me. There were explorations of immigration, identity, family, home, and even love. But I felt that the story was too long and got too convoluted towards the end. Maybe it tried to be too many things at once. I did love the idea and will think about it for a long time. The dual narration by Major Curda and Michelle H. Lee was absolutely excellent. with gratitude to netgalley and Macmillan Audio for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.  Well I haven’t made almost any progress on the big goal so far. My son is home for one week only so I plan to spend this week with him as much as possible and then I can figure out the plan for how to get my big goal going.
So proud of myself and how much I am doing. Day by day, drop by drop. Here’s to another week. Paying attention. Savoring and living in awe. And taking steps to move onward.
i guessed this one, too. i’ve read too many mysteries, but it was still a good and fast read that kept me busy.
i’ve read so many mysteries by now that i keep waiting for the other shoe to drop constantly. the whole time. i liked this one and enjoyed the fast read.
fun, fast mystery with twists and turns that I guessed but still enjoyed.
Beautiful cover and yet another memoir of a cheating husband of a newborn baby. They are a plenty.
Another memoir about divorce, this one comes with the added crazy of the cheating husband’s mistress being Monica Lewinsky and the husband cheating the whole time before he even proposed. You can’t make this stuff up.
i’ve been reading a lot of these memoirs. They are devastating and also so very ordinary in all the sad ways. it’s amazing how much they all have in common even though they feel so uniquely devastating. |
