Welcome to Litsy!

Warning: contains child abuse. This started out dark& depressing but also powerful. Merry& Sam move to Sweden with their baby Connor. Sam has inherited a house in the woods. Slowly we learn that he‘s a mysoginist but Merry too is no saint. When Frank, Merry‘s best friend,comes to visit, things get worse not better. Initially I thought this was a feminist take on motherhood & marriage borrowing from Bergman films& Stepford Wives, sadly

Day 9: Dark. This looks creepy. I do like a bit of scandi noir. @LiseWorks

Sam and Merry move to Sweden, leaving behind drama and mystery. Merry‘s BFF Frank comes to visit.

Eh 🤷🏼‍♀️I loved the beginning of this book. There were minor things to develop characters that appeared and then were just gone like they never happened. It was just such good momentum for the first 150 pages and then, then it just dragged on a bit until the end, which I was personally no fan of.

I took this book out from the library because I thought I had read this author before, I was wrong and this is a debut novel. I am digging it! A positive accident. Merry and Sam have moved to Sweden with their infant son. Very quickly, this domestic bliss is definitely not bliss and there are some major skeletons in these new Swedish closets. Then Merry‘s closest friend comes to visit. I hope to do some reading in the sun this May Long!

Good book but dragged. Understanding of different types of relationships. Sometimes you are your own victim. Would reccomend if you can take dragged books.

One of those stories where you hate all of the characters, despise the storyline, but yet you simply can‘t put it down. Not sure how it‘s going to go down, but I‘m in it til the end.

This started out so strong and I was sure I was going to really enjoy it and then once it got past the initial shocks of the story, it began to drag. I thought it wound up being very predictable and the twists weren‘t really necessary because the ending was very obvious. I liked the storyline and the writing, I just found it to go on too long.

Well, what a disturbing read. Sam, Merry, Frank, Karl and Elsa in Sweden. Sam and Merry move from the US to live an idyllic life in a rural area of Sweden. Little baby Connor much loved but also resented in some ways. It all goes horrible wrong and the tension builds right to the very end. I can‘t say I ‘enjoyed‘ it but also I couldn‘t put it down.

As the opening chapters became increasingly uncomfortable to read, the suspense built up nicely. At the halfway point I was totally immersed, but the the ending? I'm still not sure if I like it or believe it, but I am still thinking about it so that counts for something. There needs to be a rating in between so-so and pick.

A pretty disturbing domestic thriller. I really like her writing style, makes for a quick, fun read! A baby is killed, and it seems everyone in this one is capable of doing it!

Starting this one! I have so many new ones in my #librarystack to get through!

Beautiful day out at the Farmers Market! ❤️☀️📖🍒

"A lifetime you spend entwined in someone‘s world, the cord that connects you thick and ropy and impermeable to the storms. Me, you, us, we. Two lives and two people, knotted together in a tight fist like the gnarled roots of ancient trees, so deep and twisted that you cannot distinguish one from the other, that you cannot uproot the one without killing both. Part you, part me. Best friends." #NetGalley #MountTBR #WeekendReading?☕

Trying to finish this but I keep getting distracted by the BBMAs aka Nick Jonas‘ arms
