I was a little wary of this book when it was chosen as our Author/blogger book club pick of the month. It didn't really seem up my alley. This just goes to show that books can surprise you every once in a while. I can only thank DJ from Books and Bindings for putting this on our list. I would have miss out on a great read.
I never thought I would adore a book where I wanted to beat the main character over the head with a shovel. I could not stand Sadie. She was selfish, immature, and a horrible wife. It's rare that I feel so much raw emotion towards a book, but this one certainly pulled it out of me. I was furious throughout most of the book. Everything she did made me verbally say 'Wtf is this woman thinking?" to the point of forgetting they were fictional characters. During the last 20% of the book, I poured myself two glasses of wine because I could feel the tension seeping through the pages.
If I had to pick a part that I didn't enjoy, I don't think I could. I'm not sure if I was meant to dislike Sadie, but I did; I just think her human nature was raw and dirty (like a scene in the book haha). It showed the perfect amount of reality for you to have those irrational feelings towards a fictional character. Jessica Hawkins can unquestionably write human emotions, and she has earned herself a fan with 'Slip of the Tongue.' I can't wait to read more from her.
