niccamo's review against another edition
Telling not showing taken to a whole new level. The book is so repetitive and filled with so many irrelevant details that it hurts to read it.

I read this for a book club. That being said, I really did NOT like the main character. She was whiny, came across as crazy, and had a case of "my poor life, I have everything but I am not happy boo hoo". Then change your life woman! Or, things like.. I am so scared alone maybe I should get a dog. But then doesn't get a dog. But then says maybe she should. But then she doesn't.
Anyways, there are my 2 cents (and 2 stars).

Nebylo to špatné ale...
Znáte takový ten pocit, kdy čtete knihu, jejíž děj poměrně ubíhá a vy vlastně nemůžete namítat nic proti, ale stejně stále máte takový ten vnitřní pocit, že to není ono? Tak přesně taková tato kniha je.
Rozhodně se jí nedá upřít čtivost, ani několik poměrně překvapivých dějových zvratů. Rozhodně v sobě nese dotek originálnosti, přesto však ve mě vyvolává pocit, že i když v podstatě nemám nic, co bych jí výrazněji vytkla, vlastně se mi nelíbí a ani žádný z charakterů mě nezaujal.
Některé knihy se vám prostě pod kůži nedostanou.

Thank you to Netgalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
I did enjoy this book and it is fast paced but it fell a little flat for me as a thriller. Many of the twists were predictable.
When the main character is an author trying to write a book it often puts me off a little. I know it's 'write about what you know' but I see it a lot in fiction lately and I found it hard to engage with the main character.
