Long Bright River by Liz Moore

challenging dark emotional mysterious sad tense slow-paced

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.75

This book was heavy and hard to read in big doses because of that. I also had a hard time with the writing style. But I did love the twists throughout and was shocked by some of the things that came to light throughout! Overall a good read!

Everything Sad Is Untrue by Daniel Nayeri
Did not finish book. Stopped at 21%.

I couldn’t follow along with the audiobook very well so I’m putting this aside for now and hoping I can pick up a physical copy at some point because I do think I’d like this one a lot!

Hoover always has a twist, but this one wasn’t it for me. The writing in this book wasn’t her best either. Usually a Colleen Hoover book is a win for me, but this one was just meh
