A review by saarahnina
Hello, Stranger by Rachel Marks

3.0

Finished August 28th 2024.

This was a book I DNFed in 2022. But I found it on my kindle one day and thought I needed it to see where it led.

Rachel Marks is an awesome writer and I loved her book Saturdays at Noon. In fact I think I need to do a re-read because of the subject matter and how touched I was by it.

The reason I DNFed this book was because I felt no investment to the characters. But 2 years later, 2024, I found that the characters were complicated and still not entirely likeable but I established an understanding. This book is not one I will be quick to forget. I think the writing and the way the characters evolved, the intricacies of the plot revealing itself… I was immersed.

Rachel Marks wrote this book while dealing with breast cancer and the treatment for it. I truly can’t wait to read more of her books because they are incredibly contemporary and have you asking some of life’s big questions.

Trigger Warning: Pregnancy, Miscarriages, Discussion of Abortion.

I received this book from Netgalley for review consideration. All opinions are my own and completely honest.
