Overall Rating 3½⭐ | Narration 😁 = Very Good
The backstory of the MC, Jesse, made for a compelling story on its own, this girl‘s story was heartbreaking, and I couldn‘t help but root for her. Sadly, though there were elements of this that didn‘t work for me and I can‘t really say what they were without spoilers...but I still recommend giving this a try because it‘s definitely something different.
pickJust released a new episode! Probably the most exciting one we've done so far, an interview with real life author R.J. Jacobs. We talk writing, story structure, psychology, and his new (excellent) book Somewhere in the Dark. Check it out!

pickSomewhere in the Dark is a well-written novel with a main character you can‘t help but care about. I firmly believe that Jessie Duval is someone more readers should get to know!

Best reading month I‘ve had in a while. And such an interesting mix! My two favorites were Raven and my #reread of This is Where I Leave You.
The tagged book is an ARC by local Nashville author - and psychologist - RJ Jacobs. We connected through IG a couple of years ago. Last fall, he asked if I‘d beta read his new book. 🤗 I was very flattered. Such a fun experience! It‘s an entertaining read set here in Music City. 🪕 Pub date: 8.11.20
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jessie‘s horrific childhood shadows her still. Accused of stalking a famous country duo, her world shifts. She tries her best to live a normal life, but lands in an impossible situation. Written in first person, unreliable narrator style, but unlike a lot of current day thrillers, it‘s not just plot-driven, Jessie is a well-fleshed character. Darkness knows her well. This is where Jacobs, a practicing physiologist, shines. 👇🏻
