A Better World by Sarah Langan
5.0
This was the first book by Sarah Langan I have read so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I can honestly say I was instantly hooked and drawn into A Better World. Langan’s work is perfect fans of Black Mirror, Stepford Wives and the like. While her world is meant to be a satirical look at a near dystopian future it was, at times, frighteningly close to home.
The writing was perfect at creating a sense of unease which is mirrored by the way the characters, particularly the Farmer-Bowen’s feel. It had a creepiness that always seemed to be just out of sight. We knew something wasn’t right but on the surface it looked fine – so clearly we’re just paranoid… That is one of my favourite things about thrillers when done correctly and I can say this one was.
Full of twists and turns, interesting characters and eerily close topics this is a perfect read for those who are looking for a creepy but satisfying summer read.
