pickNot your typical thriller. A creative approach to a tough issue. The mixed-media, multiple POV makes it feel like a “brain candy” Gone Girl style novel, but is actually a thought provoking and, frankly, depressing exploration of society today. I enjoyed reading something a bit different, but I might need some time to sort of shake it off.

This is a thought-provoking book in that it covers the topic of male violence against women and how endemic it is in patriarchal societies. And because of that, I wish I could like it. But it follows the format of a typical psychological thriller, a genre I am not fond of. It‘s not bad, and is probably a good read for someone who likes the genre.

pickThis was a #Goldsboro book so I wasn't sure what to expect when it came. This will definitely be in my top 10 favorites suspense/thriller reading for this year. I listened and read as I had a road trip this past week and I didn't want to put the physical copy down...the storytelling is that good. And thought provoking! #bookspin @thearomaofbooks
pickA palate cleanser between several dense audiobooks was just what the doctor ordered with this one-day propulsive listen. British thriller focusing on gender relations and how little is required of men to be considered “one of the good guys”. Like go ahead and cook for your wife or girlfriend, say all the “good, feminist” stuff and bam! you‘re a winner. Nevermind some extremely troubling behaviors we will overlook. Packaged with intrigue.
pickI definitely couldn‘t stop listening to this engaging and thought-provoking read. It really begs to be read (or listened to— the audio performance is really fantastic with a great production feel complete with sound effects and multiple performers!) with a book club because there‘s a lot to talk about! While the plot‘s main twist is easy to see coming, I still couldn‘t stop listening & found the theme of violence against women to be well handled!

One of the best thrillers I‘ve read!
The book has multiple POVs, which I love, and the progression of the story is paced in a way that keeps you hooked.
An insightful (and disturbing) look at how violence against women can be perpetrated under the mask of love.
I will be reading anything that Araminta Hall publishes (I‘ve previously read Our Kind of Cruelty and really enjoyed it, also).
