The 52 Book Club's 2023 Reading Challenge - hosted by the52bookclub

Chapters have cliffhangers
A cliffhanger is a plot device that leaves the reader in suspense. The main character is often left in some sort of dangerous situation or dilemma, or there is a shocking revelation made.  For this prompt, choose a book that has cliffhangers at the end of the chapters. This doesn’t mean that every chapter has to end in a cliffhanger – it’s up to you to decide how many that should be and whether your book pick fits the prompt or not.
