Welcome to Litsy!

Yes, I loved every page of Charlotte McConaghy‘s brilliant new novel. You will, too.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️an absolutely haunting read!!! Beautifully done with deeply felt characters, even the island was a character. This writing took me straight there where I could feel the wind, smell the sea and hear the life all around me.

I can‘t believe it‘s almost October!!
Also noticing an interesting water/ocean theme 🤔 and I wonder what will ultimately go up against The Wedding People!

Just couldn‘t get into this

This book is breathtaking. The writing is exquisite. SO worth the many months I waited for a library copy. The mystery/thriller element was entertaining, and there were enough twists that I was surprised by everything. But it was the nature writing that moved me so much, both vibrant and quiet. And the steady love Dominic had for his children, even though he wasn‘t very confident in his parenting. Hands-down my favorite book of the year so far.

Words cannot describe how incredible this is. Believe the hype!! I‘m glad I knew practically nothing going into it, so I won‘t say too much, only that by the end it wrecked me in the best possible way.
Gorgeous writing—in style, plot, and language—and something that will stick with me for a long time.
Cinematic storytelling… I know this will be turned into a brilliant, star-studded film… and I won‘t want to see it because the book is too good 😭😄

This book was ambitious in many ways-plot, setting and characters. Beautifully written and despite a dire situation this traumatized family and the stranger that washed on shore discovered by loving all living things you can learn how to better love your own family. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I‘m so excited to finally be starting this, especially going into the weekend!

I had to wait for a library copy for-e-ver. I have high hopes!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

This book is light suspense × The Scent Keeper (Erica Bauermeister)

I liked it, nothing is what it seems.

The end was a thrill; I woke up last night and had to listen thru the climax. I appreciated the structure in that it‘s not linear and the backstory slowly reveals itself. That‘s always the best way to build suspense & interest. 😄
