Welcome to Litsy!

The hubs and I are on a #stephenking movie kick 🤷🏻‍♀️ #losersclub #booktomovie

I absolutely enjoyed this book! I am so glad I decided to read this even after disliking the author's other book 'L.A Weather' that I read in 2024.

I found this story to be enticing right from the opening and in between the different timelines, Escandon kept my interest with both the story and the characterizations of not just Libertad but all of the characters.

Yay! My first read for the year. The blurb which says it‘s “rife with overtones of Dostoyevsky,..” had me picking this up. It seems to be partly based on a true story from letters Highsmith exchanged with a prison inmate. A suspenseful, psychologically disturbing story with an unlikeable protagonist I can‘t help having sympathy for, in fact I was rooting for him. The building up of suspense brings an unexpected ending that leaves me unsettled.

One of my favorite Christmas gifts!!

Okay last one 😂 And just to clarify, the bottom left square does not have to be an exact quote, just the general implication of “oh my gosh you've never... decorated a tree!! Had a snowball fight!! Baked Christmas cookies!! Gone ice skating!! Had a New Year's Eve Kiss!!“ That kind of thing haha

Second and final book in the series. I have the same sentiments as the first. The book and series as a whole was fine. 3 🌟

The story was fine, however I felt as if it was a bit too slow paced for me. The author spent almost the entire first half of the book setting up the story. I wished there was more depth, and character development.

This is a long overdue post expressing my delight and thanks to @CBee for sending this my way. Once I get through my huge stack of library books (make me stay away from the library!!!) I‘ll be diving in. This author is now a must read for me. Thanks again, Cydney, for your thoughtfulness.
