I loved this book more than I thought I would. I had it checked out and returned it to the library many many times, and finally it was time apparently. I am so glad it was. This book was fun and clever and twisty and enjoyable. I loved it.
I enjoyed this story. I like Slaughter’s series while I listen to it but these don’t really seem to stay with me. But that’s perfectly ok.
This book is absolutely fantastic. Very likely to be one of my very favorites from this year. I loved the way it was structured: this read to me like connected stories but each story has a different character’s POV and goes forward in time. It was just absolutely perfectly written with each character telling you more about the other characters and peeling another layer of the onion for you so that you could easily fall in love with them bit by bit. It’s absolutely magnificent. with gratitude to netgalley and Knopf for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
I read about this book in the Atlantic. I am glad I read the book. It was well-written and you rarely see these events from the male’s perspective. I appreciated that he shared both his learnings and his mistakes. This is a long journey and none of us are perfect. What matters is that we try. And I appreciate that.
It appears I am always in the minority when it comes to Cline. It might be that her style just doesn’t speak to me. Even though this was interesting as a concept, I just didn’t really care for it. Eh.
This was perfectly interesting and kept my attention throughout. I didn’t think it was wildly different than many other mysteries I read but it was well done for the most part.
This book was so sad. In the beginning I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to get into the story of Mei whose childhood friend comes back into her life when she publishes a book about a terrible tragedy that happened to her as a child. Mei is already having such a hard life with her parents’ insurmountable debt and her on again and off again boyfriend who won’t propose and now she feels like she owes it to Mei to solve what happened and it spirals her life even more out of control. There are some heavy topics and really sad moments in this poignant story. Once I was half an hour into it, I could not stop, I thought about the characters while I wasn’t listening and kept wanting to go back and see what happened to make their life go so off course. with gratitude to netgalley and HarperAudio Adult for an advanced audio in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoyed this story about a friend’s last wish which is that her two estranged best friends travel to several places around the world to spread her ashes as a plot to get them to reconnect. It was funny and fun and joyful and emotional while reminding us why friendships matter and how they change your life forever and how some friends will be with you even if you haven’t spoken in years. with gratitude to Bookouture Audio and netgalley for an advanced audio in exchange for an honest review.
This was a very unusual book, not like anything I’ve read before. It takes place in Silicon Valley and focuses on toxic startup culture but then there’s a crime and then there’s Mario who helped them before they were somebody and how he needs to wait the lockup period before he can get the money he so needs. And you’re rooting for him and then you’re not and then you are again. And crazy things are happening. I felt like it lulled in the middle for me a bit but I really enjoyed it in the end. It was a fun ride. with gratitude to netgalley and Dubious Ventures Press for a great audio and for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
Wow what a rollercoaster this one was. I was like he’s bad, oh no he’s good, no wait is he bad? No no i was right all along. or was i? I found myself doubting myself the whole time. Even though it was a disturbing subject matter, this book was a fast and furious read. And it really isn’t what you think! 🙂 the audio was fantastic and completely kept me hooked. with gratitude to netgalley and Sourcebooks Audio for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
This one was full of twists and turns and just when you thought you had it figured out, another twist came. I felt that it was a little repetitive and melodramatic at parts but I didn’t see most of the twists coming, and I didn’t want to stop reading it from the first page onward. with gratitude to Macmillan Audio and netgalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. This one was best read on audio!!
3.5 stars. This was both different from and similar to Klune’s other books. It was more serious and I think also a bit more science fiction but also it was still full of heart and deeply felt like this stories are. It made me think a lot and feel a lot. and those books are always great. |
