(2006) It's the kind of thriller where the lead returns home after a long absence and investigates a murder only to find themself investigating their own past. The lead in this case has made some spectacularly bad choices and continues to make bad choices still. It's all very sordid, and finally lost me when the lead went partying with her kid sister. Others have loved it, and I think I understand its gritty appeal, but it was a miss for me.

ChaoticMissAdventures I tried to watch the movie (I love Amy Adams) but I didn't get very far and was a bit bored. So I never picked up the book. I know she has such a big fan following though.... Different tastes! 3d
swynn @ChaoticMissAdventures Yay for different tastes! I haven't seen the movie, and won't hunt it down, even though I agree: Amy Adams is wonderful. 3d
thegreensofa I felt like I was the only one in the world who hated this when I read it! Yay I‘m not the only one! 😁🙃 23h

A tale inspired by true events, showing how a teacher in Missouri defied unjust laws to educate Black students in the 1840s.

In a wet, dangerous place, the ground shook and a family of darkness was born. Unlikely characters and bad choices abound.

I‘m sure there are several books on my shelf that I could use for this prompt, but this is the first one I thought of. Noah was recently paralyzed in a car crash that also killed his father, so there are some serious topics in this book. I also loved the Missouri setting and St. Louis Cardinals references.

Karisimo Ooh! I‘m a huge Cards fan! I can‘t believe I haven‘t read this! 5mo
Coffeymuse You sold me on the Cardinals reference-that's my baseball team! Definitely adding this to Mt TBR! 5mo
Daisey @Karisimo @Coffeymuse I teach JH in Missouri, so each year I look up the Truman award preliminary nominee list and try to read as many as possible. It often includes a book or two with a Missouri connection. That‘s how I found this one. 5mo
Coffeymuse @Daisey I grew up in MO and now live in OK. OK was the Sequoyah Book Awards. Definitely going to check out the Truman Awards! 5mo

4.5 stars, there is much that I enjoyed about this debut! Coming of age, dual timelines, family secrets, subtle humor, welled-developed characters, based off of a true event, deception, imbrued gruesomeness, forgiveness all wrapped up beautifully at the end with utmost care and a stunning bow! Thank you Michelle Collin‘s Anderson and NetGalley for this ARC.

Just heard about this book today at work. How it‘s so good, it changed someone‘s life.

Has anyone read it?

DGRachel YES! I thought I was going to hate it, but it was a postal book club book so I made myself start it and couldn‘t put it down. It‘s a quiet book, but so elegantly written. 8mo
Tamra This is my favorite novel of all time. I am afraid to reread it. 💙 8mo
Saknicole It‘s been on my TBR for a decade. I read an excerpt with classes sometimes and love the descriptions. I too have heard amazing things. 8mo

JamieArc A guy I follow on Instagram, @booksaresick, this is his favorite book (and he has a pretty eclectic reading palate so I trust his judgment). I need to finally put it on my TBR. 8mo
Ruthiella I loved it, but as @DGRachel wrote, it‘s a very quiet book. I think one would have to be in the right mindset for it. 7mo
CindyMyLifeIsLit Absolutely love it—beautifully written, and lots of food for thought. 7mo
zezeki I've read it recently, but I must admit I didn't particularly like it, like @Ruthiella said, I wasn't in the right mindset for it at the time, though it does sound like something I'd enjoy. 7mo
Billypar I'm also in the unpopular opinion camp on this one. I thought the descriptive portions were beautifully written, so I can understand why it's gotten the response it has. But I found the characters and dialogue to be very thin - it seemed to me like the main character was a thinly veiled version of the author, and he had a lot of axes to grind. Just my own read, though - I know it's a favorite book of many! 7mo
jlhammar One of my favorites! 7mo
KCofKaysville @CrowCAH I picked up a copy somewhere and wondered about it. Has good reviews. 7mo
CrowCAH @DGRachel @Tamra @Saknicole @JamieArc @Ruthiella @CindyMyLifeIsLit @zezeki @Billypar @jlhammar @KCofKaysville thank you for all the feedback! Sounds like any book, not going to please all, but it does seem like it has some promise to it. I would like to get back into reading more modern classics, so I‘ll add it to the TBR. 7mo
Cathythoughts Loved it. Stoner ❤️💔 7mo
CrowCAH @Cathythoughts several are of your opinion, they liked it! 👍🏻 7mo

“Because that's the one thing women are never, ever allowed to be. We can be sad, distraught, confused, pleading, forgiving. But not furious. Fury is reserved for other people. The worst thing you can be is an angry woman, an angry mother.”

4.5 ⭐️

A mother seeks justice for the murder of her 12 year old daughter. Dark and disturbing set in a small town with lots of secrets. I had to stop myself from jumping ahead to see what happened!
