Loved it as much as The Strangers. I feel intimately invested in the characters and their universes. I want another book like it! Both books are must-reads.

Book club book that I didn’t complete on time but completed an hr after the meeting 😭.

Very hard but important read. Be mindful of the content warnings especially sexual abuse, child abuse, and the rest. Really liked this one. I was listening to this at a very fast pace to be able to go to book club (hit 88% rip) and so may have missed some. Not an easy read to listen to as character pov jumps at a break neck speed so be mindful of that.

I didn’t read the actual novel but saw copies of it during the book club meeting and I love that there is a family tree in it. Which would be useful as a lot of the characters go by nicknames of their actual names so it can get confusing w that as well!
