This story was CRAZY and just kept getting crazier as it went. I can‘t believe they kept up the charade for so long. Part of me wonders if this would have attracted as much attention if she weren‘t a young woman, since so many tech leaders are grandiose and over-promise on what their technology can deliver. However, I can‘t believe anyone kept forging ahead imperiling patients. A compelling read/listen for sure.

I had to bail on this one. I really liked her other book Furiously Happy, but I just couldn‘t sustain enough interest in this one. It felt more like reading a blog. At least it seems her writing got better in her later book! I have a hard time not finishing books but I‘ve got too many in my TBR list (and another library loan ending soon!).

Finished this while camping! I loved it overall. I enjoyed the unique format going between her inner thoughts, recounting history and interactions, and questioning the coins. She touches on important individual and societal considerations about the role of mothers. I enjoyed following along as she thought things through.

This book is really resonating with me. Some have called it navelgazing but for me it perfectly captures the inner conflict of a 30-something woman considering having a baby (aka me). I‘ve underlined about half the book saying YESSSS. For now, Miss Kitty makes the perfect reading partner. #catsoflitsy

I am struggling to get through this book. While on one hand I am interested in what happens to the main character, I think it‘s hitting too close to home - the bleak future of a parched Southern California with (more) exaggerated class divisions leading to rampant violence seems an all too real and not too distant possibility. The extreme violence and rape she describes are also getting to me. Anyone else have a similar experience with this book?

Finished this on the way back from Reno. I love an ensemble cast audiobook! I wasn‘t sure if I‘d like this at first since it‘s not the kind of story I‘m usually drawn to, but I thoroughly@enjoyed it. I thought the characters were complex and engaging. The cast was great and really brought the story to life. 5🌟

I really liked this book! Finished listening while gardening today (forgot to take a pic and now it‘s dark). I learned so much about beavers and am convinced of their importance in our ecosystem. plus there were a lot of references to the Northwest, where I grew up, and California, where I now live. It was nicely written with an overall appreciation for nature. I‘d give it about 4.5🌟

A little Saturday morning reading with/on Miss Kitty.

Had a moment of downtime at work so revisiting this great book. Nancy McWilliams is dropping some extremely refreshing and validating truth bombs. #workreading

Quick, fun read. I enjoyed the sisterly relationship - often frustrating especially for the main character but forged in early, impactful experiences that shape one for life. Not quite what I was expecting from a “serial killer” book but I liked it all the same. Plus I love a good cover

Listened to this on the way to and from LA with MY love. What a delight. They seem like two genuinely nice, talented, intelligent, hilarious people who love and respect each other and have built a wonderful and refreshingly normal relationship. I also like their takes on topics such as fashion, hobbies, and dogs. They have such great chemistry and riffed off each other constantly in the recording. A light and thoroughly enjoyable “read.”

Hello Litsy! My first post. I just finished this book while visiting my brother-in-law for the weekend.

4.5🌟 rounded to 5🌟 I really loved these dark stories. One in particular, told as synopses of fictionalized Law & Order SVU episodes, really stuck with me - what a unique format. Though hard to stomach at times, the constant thread of how women and our bodies are seen/treated/experienced rang true and feels important to give voice to.
