pickI liked it, especially when things finally started coming together toward the end. Multiple POV‘s, multiple timelines, and a lot of redirecting meant it took me a while to get my bearings. I had a suspicion about halfway thru that ended up being correct! The characters were not easy to like, they were all fairly unbearable actually. But I was kept entertained thru a particularly busy workweek, which worked well for me.
pickSo imagine if two people brought the same puzzles together and l decided to combine the pieces before putting together two of the same puzzle. then they discover that each box also contained pieces of other puzzles. Yeah, like that.
pickStrout‘s debut novel about a mother and a daughter, and their relationship. Amy is 16 and just starting life. Isabelle is a single parent, working as a secretary at the factory, trying to get by. It‘s the warmest summer in memory and things are about to change.
pickJust the kind of book I love for October and while it had some good twists, I called the who pretty early on. The how and why was fun to see unravel, though.
Another of my #trappedinaspookyhouse reads, chosen for me by @GHABI4ROSES and organized by @PuddleJumper
Last night my library hosted an author program which featured Wade Rouse, aka Viola Shipman! 💕📚 I got to run the whole thing which included facilitating the event, handling the Q&A portion, and the best part of all - getting to go out to dinner beforehand with him and his lovely husband! It was an absolutely magical evening!
so-soI‘ve read & enjoyed McCreight‘s earlier novels. I‘m always a sucker for a disappearance story, so I made this my August #BOTM pick! But despite some multimedia & mother/daughter perspectives, I never warmed to either (or really any!) character. The plot‘s twist didn‘t pack the punch I hoped for & I don‘t think it will stick long in my memory as I never felt eager to pick it up any time I set it down. I didn‘t hate it but I didn‘t like it either!
