Great story for such a quick read. It's intense, gripping and not at all what I expected it to be. Worth the hour or two it takes to devour this short story!

My next read and I can't wait. I think I'll reward myself after some solid study time #gottapassthatexam

Ugh, so disappointing as I was really looking forward to this one. Overwritten prose made for a pretentious contemporary wannabe, boring storing, flat characters and not much to like. Not for me. Read my full review on my blog (link in bio)

Novelgossip Bummer! I've seen a lot of hype about this one. 8y
BookishMarginalia I thought the same thing. I was rolling my eyes at the writing every page or so. 8y
BookClubShmookClub I'm so with you, I'm only halfway through but I don't find any of the characters very likeable- I have a book club podcast and it seems like most of our listeners feel the same way. I do like it but I feel like I need to take a shower after every reading sesh. 8y
litsybookclub Not sure if you know but this is our read this month! We're having a live discussion Saturday and an on Litsy discussion next week :) hope you'll join us! 8y

Audiobook narrated by Felicia Day which made this book pretty good. Genuine, heartfelt and super nerdy (which is a plus!) - full review on my blog (link in bio)

So much suspense, mystery and intrigue. A great cliffhanger that makes me want the 2nd book asap! A full review is on my blog (link in bio)

I'm still reeling from this book after finishing it over a week ago; it was just something else. Beautifully written. Full review is on my blog (link in bio) as I can't begin to explain how good this is in 300 characters!

Ok so let's get something straight: I love Mindy Kaling. She is awesome and I can't get enough of her on tv. I just didn't feel it with this book. I really wanted to but honestly, this was a little boring and I was kind of disappointed... Sorry Mindy, please forgive me!?

Awesome! I cannot say enough good things about this book, it's absolutely genius. Ernie most definitely gets us geeks and the many, MANY nods to geek culture fit so well, making it feel that this was written just for you. Well, if you're a nerd like me!

Wow what a great book! So well written with a story that gains pace throughout. This actually made me squirm at times with atmospheric creepiness; the hints of something unusual occurring; the odd relationship developing - just an excellent read!
