pickI have few words as I finish reading this. I'm extremely glad that I splurged to buy the "pretty" version on getting the recommendation, as this has now become one of my favourite books. There's a beauty to the ugliness of the war story told in these pages. I didn't expect to be so affected by it. #39-2025
so-soThe narrative shifts back and forth in a confusing way, and I couldn't get a clear sense of perspective. The plot felt nonexistent, the tone was gloomy, and the characters were unlikable. Their letter rants irrelevant, and the sex scenes were awkward to read. It‘s basically about two women stuck in cycles of depression and self-sabotage. Book #39 in 2025

Finished my first November #Roll100 pick (#39 Any Subscription Book) & I quite enjoyed this unusual story about a young couple Lewis & Wren.who find out shortly after their marriage that Lewis has an animal mutation & his body will turn into a great white shark. It‘s sounds odd but it becomes believable & is beautifully written too. The story moves back-&-forth in time & also tells Wren‘s story before the marriage & her mother‘s ⬇️
pickSimilar to Cheryl Strayed‘s book about hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, but with a group of raucous twenty something year olds and thirty two year old Helen as the protagonist. I enjoyed this fun, finding yourself book with a badass female lead.
