Beautifully Written and Very Thought-Provoking

Revisado: 11-28-24

I loved this. There were a few sections that felt trite compared to the intensity of the rest of the story. I loved the parallel elements and the big moving themes.

Not my favorite Karin Slaughter…

Revisado: 09-11-24

But I still love listening to Kathleen Early! This story felt unnecessarily convoluted to me. She’s also making Sarah more and more annoying as the series goes on. Still 4 stars though, because I’m so loyal to Will Trent.

So glad I stuck with it

Revisado: 07-28-24

This was a slow starter for me, as many character-driven books are. But in the end it was worth it. It probably could have been about 20% shorter, but it’s still in the running for one my favorites this year. A beautiful and complex epic tale of relationships and love, with a slow burn of a mystery in the background.

Brilliant in Every Way

Loved every bit of it. I cannot recommend this enough. I both read and listened and the audiobook is just as fantastic as the hardcover.

Favorite Author & Reader

The book was incredible. I’d listened to Wellness first and loved that as well. This reader is simple marvelous. Absolutely books worth listening to rather than reading.

Eh. Not as Good as Stillhouse Lake

Revisado: 11-16-23

I really disliked the sections of the book told from the kids’ points of views. They felt oddly both too mature and exaggeratedly immature at the same time. And it felt like there were too many issues that could have been avoided with some basic open honest communication. Something you’d think they would have learned by this point. I still finished it, but I had to listen at 1.3x to stay interested.

So Glad I Listened

Revisado: 11-03-23

I thought this book was much better than the author’s first. And much more complex. I was worried that hearing Sutton Foster as the reader would lessen the experience but she was truly the PERFECT person to give me a picture of Pamela in my mind. Very sad it’s over!

I did finish it…

Which is why I gave it 2 stars. The story was twisted enough that I wanted to find out the ending. But that’s the extent of my praise. It’s the first book by Colleen Hoover that I’ve read, safe to say it will be the last. She lost me forever when she set a scene in NYC at a Steak n Shake. While there was in fact a single SnS location in NYC for a short 5 year period that could theoretically have been when the action was occurring, it’s absurd that she couldn’t have thought of a more realistic setting for the scene. Similarly the reference to Target in VT. While there is a single VT Target, it clearly felt like a paid brand placement opportunity. Just not my cup of tea.

A Surprising Gem

I adored this book, and sincerely hope there is going to be a sequel. It feels like the stage is perfectly set for one.

Absolutely Loved This

Revisado: 06-14-23

The beginning felt slow, but by 2 hours in I was hooked. Maura Tierney did an incredible job bringing the characters to life, but she was given stellar material to work with. I bawled for the entire last few hours.
