wow, this story gets 4 stars just on originality alone. the weird syntax and the continued repetition on “and” without periods wasn’t as disruptive on audio. So i was more able to focus on the story itself.
Liked this one. I like when it’s a mystery and the characters are also interesting and memorable.
mixed feelings on this one. it was okay but not great.
This was very much meh for me. Rich people do bad things. Not a major surprise…
I have so many feelings about this story. It was interesting and unusual and I am still thinking about it a week after I read it. That’s usually the sign of a good book for me but this was hard to read. It wandered and didn’t fully hold my interest. Not my favorite of McEwan.
I loved this book from the first page. I loved Annie Heston. She’s such an unusual character and I love that she’s so unique and strong and knowledgeable. I loved the romance and the suspense. I loved all the characters in this town and how the setting was almost a character of its own, coming alive. Crouch’s writing is high quality, flowing, and the story hooks you in and doesn’t let you go all the way to the end. with gratitude to netgalley and Atria Books for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
I loved “The Last Thing He Told Me” and I wasn’t sure if the sequel would deliver. To be honest, I wasn’t even sure if I wanted a sequel. But I love Laura Dave, so I was excited to dive into it and she did not disappoint! This book is fantastic to read from the first page and it hits the ground running and does not stop. I loved the way the characters grew over the time we didn’t see them and I loved reading this book. Especially if you loved the first one and wanted to see how they turn out! You will read this in one gulp. with gratitude to netgalley and Scribner for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
I am so very sorry to say that this book didn’t meet the amazing Irving bar for me. The characters were interesting but there was no way the story comes together to make any point. The characters are the only reason this got 3 stars for me. with gratitude to netgalley and Simon & Schuster for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
I loved this wonderful book that was mainly about three families. I loved how there were many different types of families displayed throughout this book and how it shows that there isn’t one way to be family. I also loved that everyone was struggling in their own way and was going through their own self-journey which impacted the relationship, of course. Isn’t that too often why things are so hard? I loved so much of the dialogue and I fell in love with each character and found myself for rooting for every single one of them. Even now as I think about it, I smile and feel the warmth of remembering them. Highly recommended. with gratitude to netgalley and The Dial Press for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
Yes I went on a Donlea spree. Why not. His books are fun, fast, and while a bit creepy, I loved Rory/Lane so I was excited to read more of them.
I love Naomi Novik. Her writing is so beautiful. Her ideas are so heartwarming and joyful and interesting. Her characters always stay with me and this beautiful story was no exception. If anything, it’s proof that she’s so talented and can create deeply memorable characters and stories in much shorter format. I also loved how visual and creative this one was. with gratitude to netgalley and Del Rey for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
Loved this one, too. Fun idea. Imagine how it would feel if it turns out you’re the long lost child of a creepy rich family…. |
