This book was exactly what I needed to get back into reading after a few months. It drew me in just as I had hoped. I adore books that feel this raw and real. And the pacing was perfect. I’ll be looking for more from this author for sure.
I wasn’t sure what I was gonna rate this book as I was reading it, it was a lot to take in but I couldn’t look away. I love books about unhinged women. Really captivating storytelling, Taddeo is a master of dropping in anecdotes without taking away from the moment. This book was a rollercoaster and definitely not for the faint of heart.
This is a book that will stick with me for a while. It was massively eerie, and crept along so well, I could not put it down. This could definitely fall into the psychological horror genre and I’m tempted to read it again knowing what I know now about the ending.
This was agonizing to finish!!! I thought I was going to like this, I love thrillers about unhinged women but this was not that. It was so incredibly redundant, it actually started to piss me off every time I had to read the phrase “My husband” who didn’t have a name. And don’t even get me started on the fucking clementine bit. I hate being stuck in a character’s head, especially one who keeps having the same thoughts over and over. The twist was not worth the pain of finishing this book. This book needed major editing, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. I’m so glad it’s over.
I loved this book. I love books with characters that feel so real and relatable like Andy and Jen. This story really accurately depicted the uncharacteristic obsessive behavior people can exhibit post heartbreak. And I’m certain it will really resonate with anyone who has suspected their partner was the wrong person for them. I’ll definitely be reading more Dolly in the future. x
I savored this book, much like the lovely food descriptions inside. As someone who lost a parent to cancer, I found solace in this. The way Michelle tried to find pieces of her mom in her belongings, in those closest to her, and in photographs was heartbreakingly relatable. Thanks for writing this. Everyone go stream Psychopomp or better yet buy the vinyl.
Hmmm it’s hard for me to know what to rate this book, but I’ve settled on 3.5 stars. At first I really liked it, and I adore Patti and Robert, but the sheer amount of name dropping was driving me crazy. Initially when I didn’t know a name I’d stop to look them up and try to get familiar with them but that quickly became fruitless, and honestly the name dropping came across as pretentious. I think some additional editing would have done this book some good. While it was quite wordy and a bit of a drag at times, I’m still glad I read it. It also gave me a serious case of FOMO and I cried at the end.
