Okay, this was a strange little novel. Not bad, but also not at all realistic. There was a scene with a dead body that was particularly…..odd. That is a good adjective.

Don‘t mess with women and those they protect. 😅

Jess That cover, though! ❤️ 9mo

Ummmmmm 🤔 would I be so nonchalant about finding out my same sex partner got pregnant while I was away on a trip to “find myself?”

Likely not. Perhaps I‘m not enlightened enough.

That scene threw me out of the narrative to ponder. I‘ll continue on reading.

IndoorDame Hmmm, I could go either way on that, definitely depends what our arrangement was… 9mo
sarahbarnes This sounds pretty intriguing. 9mo

Went to pick up my son's pre-order of The Scarlet Shedder (anyone else have Pilkey obsessed kiddos?), and was drawn to the tagged for myself. Partially because of the fantastic cover, and partially because the review quote on the back says it's for "those who feel Barbara Pym-ish on some days and Stephen King-ish on others." Who could resist that combo?!

Caroline2 Yep! Both my boys loveeeeee Dogman. 😂 13mo
LeahBergen I have this on my “to buy” list! 😊 13mo
TheKidUpstairs @LeahBergen the Pym/King combo does feel very you! 13mo
Traci1 We got our pre-order of Dog Man today too. 😄 13mo
Aimeesue I will buy ANY book with a Gorey cover ❤️ (edited) 13mo
