We Don't Talk About Her by Andersen Prunty
4.0
Wicked great read. Every time I open a Prunty book I enjoy it more than the last. WE DON'T TALK ABOUT HER is a quick read that packs one helluva punch. It's about 50 pages as the crow flies but the crow don't read so I don't know how you'd measure the length/speed of a read in comparison to a bird in flight.
This is one of those time I wish Goodreads allowed ratings by the half star because I'd push this up to a 4.5 easily. The one thing that holds this back from being a pure 5-star rating for me is the rushed ending. All the suspense, all the twists, all the build-up kinda sputtered out like balloon knot untied in the end. It was a good enough ending but overall I think if the story were fleshed out just a bit more in the third act it may have hit a full on 5 star.
Still, just a great fast read. Andersen Prunty sure can pack a lot of emotion in a little bit of space. That is the triumph of WE DON'T TALK ABOUT HER. I know I'll be talking about her for awhile, telling everyone to read her if they get a chance.
