Not my usual type of thing at all, but I‘m glad I read it

I agree with the Litsy reviews - I adored this little book! So clever and funny! It was best that I didn‘t know anything about the story going in so I‘ll leave it at that, other than to say I want to read more of DeWitt.

BarbaraBB I have never even heard of it. And now I want to read it! 1mo
sarahbarnes @BarbaraBB I read it based on reviews here and I think you‘d love it. It‘s so short you can read it like a short story! 1mo
Suet624 A wonderful little story. @Barbarabb There was a wave of Litsy folks reading this a year or so ago. 1mo
BarbaraBB @Suet624 I must have missed that but will make up for it 😀 1mo
BkClubCare I love the cover (and that artist‘s pie painting even more) 3w

Set in a small town in the Mojave desert, Driss, is found dead at the side of the road. Was it a hate crime? Told from alternating perspectives the story winds back and forth, touching on Driss‘ life, but also his family and neighbours, whilst also trying to discover the cause of his death. For me, this was about grief, combined with small town tensions. The whodunnit element I felt was less successful for me. Overall though, I enjoyed it.

I finished another book in this series. It was likable but wasn't my favorite out of the series. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.

Well this short read was surprisingly delightful!. Glad I just went in with little knowledge because, in all of 69 pages, any assumptions I had made in the beginning were turned upside down in the best way

merelybookish It is a delight! 2mo
HardcoverHearts Previous to reading this, I never thought I liked short stories. This completely changed my mind. It‘s exquisitely written. 2mo
Jas16 @HardcoverHearts I am generally not a fan of short stories either but ones like this one keep me willing to give them a try. 2mo

This book gets high praise in the Netherlands but I didn‘t like it at all. A parade of northern African people travel between Amsterdam and Paris where all of them live and meet and tell stories. Because there are so many of them it all feels kind of disconnected . So after 50%, I bailed.

MrsMalaprop When you‘re not feeling the love…bail! That photo though 😍 2mo
squirrelbrain Hope you‘re feeling better. 2mo
BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain Thanks, I feel better! Of course now S has got it and way worse than I did of course 😜 2mo
