#12daysofchristmas

My February favorite was one from the backlist of J Robert Lennon. After loving Subdivision I wanted to read more by this author and it didn‘t disappoint. I am officially a fan now! Since February I also read and loved Broken River and I have some more on my TBR.

Familiar: A Novel | J. Robert Lennon

pick

This is a book that makes you think. A woman is driving back from visiting her son's grave and finds herself in an alternate universe where he's still alive. Is it all a delusion? Or did both things really happen? Soft pick. But still a pick. The characters are hard to like.

After loving Subdivision I wanted to read more by this author and man, he didn‘t disappoint. This one is not as strange as that one but strange nevertheless.

A woman drives home after visiting the grave of her son who died when he was 15. Suddenly everything changes. She is still driving, but another car and she‘s the same plus some pounds around the waist. Arriving home her son is still living. What follows is awesome!

I‘m officially a fan of Lennon after this book. An expertly crafted, psychological story that is so compelling because it feels just possible that it could happen. Deeply unsettling in a very satisfying way, if that‘s a thing.

BarbaraBB Sounds like a must read, especially because subdivision is one of my favorite books of the year. Is this one as good?? 2y

sarahbarnes I loved Subdivision too @BarbaraBB and I think I enjoyed this one as much. It‘s different but there are some similar themes I think. This one has less of a bizarre setting but equally mysterious circumstances. 2y

BarbaraBB Thanks! Can‘t wait! 2y

BarbaraBB It‘s 6 euros on Amazon. Couldn‘t resist š¤¦š¸»ā€¨ā™€ļø¸ 2y

sarahbarnes @BarbaraBB that is a deal! I can‘t wait to hear what you think of it! 2y
