4.75

A must read for every woman, and preferably all as well. Every page was better than the last and only marked it as 4.75 instead of 5 because the ending felt rushed. Overall, this book will go down as one of my favorites.

the book contains a very graphic rape scene and belittling of the police after. The death of the love of her life is also very graphic, including descriptions of the scene as told by the dog.

I loved this book with every fiber of my being. I just couldn't put this down! The writing, the story itself, the characters, the connection to real life issues, the portrayal of grief, and of course, Six-Thirty 🩷

This is by far my newest favorite book of all time, and I hope to read many more novels by Bonnie in the future. The research to write this beautifully powerful story deserves five stars in and of itself. I'm looking forward to watching the t.v. series, but nothing will compare to the poetic writing of Bonnie Garmus. 

Do yourself a favor and put this at the TOP of your TBR list!

This was a wild ride for me. I finished the book soo quickly and couldn't get myself to put it down. Its such an emotional story: funny, sad and anger-inducing at the same time. You really find yourself rooting for the main character and her loved ones.
