#Women‘s Prize Long & Short List

The books I have read from the long list for the Women‘s Prize have been so hard to read, so dark, sad.

This one is a family drama/coming of age story, narrated in two time lines. Every main character has a dark side in terms that they are not who they project to others, they have secrets, they are full of lies, hurting others. There are some triggers here: suicide, sexual abuse. Some parts are so sad😢⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) But with hope at the end? Each character was looking that cultural identity. I really liked this one. Beautiful! 4/4.5⭐️ 3w

I grabbed this book on a whim at the bookstore the other day because I love and trust CoHo. Most of the book was SO GOOD, but the ending ruined it. I‘m so flipping mad. Of all the things that could‘ve caused their memory loss I didn‘t see that coming and it was so dumb. Book #42 in 2023

Book #42
5/5
My 3rd time through, and still one of my favourite novels. I haven't watched the show, and I'm afraid to, because I don't want it to ruin what I picture in my head when I read the book.

TheLudicReader The series is awesome. 11mo

23 #42 I liked this book. Ivy‘s story was kinda boring and it was all kinda predictable. But worth the time to finish it. I did audible and the accents were nonexistent to horrendous 😂 but still with the read.

From @Sharread pick books list
This is an interesting book because it is a slow pace, more character driven I would say, mild creepy, mild gory. People that come from the dead from a forbidden wood, but why, since when. You need to read it. This is the first book I read by this author and I think I want to read more. I already own like 3 of her books. 3.8⭐️

What a great mystery! Just enough twists that kept it from being too predictable. I don‘t feel bad for Nina, at all. I like a good book about psycho women, muhahaha. Book #42 in 2022
