Welcome to Litsy!

Adventures in female bonding! It isn't exactly realistic that this many women kill their husbands in the same neighborhood at the same time, but you have to suspend disbelief in order to appreciate this dark revenge comedy. The book manages to honor the gravity of the subject of domestic violence during Covid lockdown while adding some levity and imagination to the situation and still be respectful. Funny, not funny. The audio was great!

Snuggled up reading my blind date book from @julesG

It‘s pretty great when a new audiobook has you cracking up and you‘ve only listened to 1% so far. 😆

This workplace dramedy has some dark comedy Office Space vibes for sure! ☎️🖥️ And a great narrator!

Weekend Reads question - how do you all do that cool background with pictures of the books you‘re reading? Im technically challenged lol 🤦‍♀️

“A scintillating debut which shifts effortlessly from the sacred to the profane by combining a cast of compulsively ghastly characters, a truly engaging cop, Ancient Greek, Instagram, a corpse on the Heath and a butler in McDonald‘s. Much of what I loved about The Secret History is to be found here, but with a thoroughly modern sensibility all of its own.”

– Harriet Tyce, author of Blood Orange

“I‘m going for the story. Something hideous will happen. I could write a bestselling novel off the back of it and never have to work again.”

This passage sounds familiar, and I think that it's because Klosterman might have written the exact same thing in one of his nonfiction books. I'll have to check what I posted here on Litsy to see if this is the case. Either way, this is an interesting thought.

I used to live in a town like this.
