Room 706 by Ellie Levenson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
What a truly excellent premise for a book. What if there’s a terrorist attack in the hotel while you’re cheating on your spouse? Both trying to hide it from your family and also spending a lot more time with your lover than you ever did are awkward situations. How will this change the course of your life? How did you even end up here?
This beautiful book tells the story of this wife. It goes back and forth between the present and the past, leading you slowly to this very moment and helping you develop empathy for all the characters involved along the way.
It’s a really well written story and do not forget to read the author’s note at the end. Excellent, excellent read.
with gratitude to netgalley and SJP Lit for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
