This book was incredible. Multiple POVs exploring how trauma can shape a family for generations to come. Loved the mystery aspects and it kept me guessing to the very end. #botm

There is honestly nothing happy about this novel. It‘s a well-written novel steeped in sadness and depressing characters. I liked it overall but wish Frank would have been less of a doormat and that Beth would have showed more remorse for her actions.

Starting this one!! I‘ve had 2 recent dnf‘s unfortunately so I decided to go with a favorite author! I‘m getting more and more picky with my reading. At what point do you dnf a book?? 📕

#BOTM

Aims42 I try to make it 100 pages but sometimes I‘ve DNF‘d past that point too 🤷🏼‍♀️ I hope this book is the one that gets you out of your DNF slump 🤞 4d
kspenmoll I don‘t wait- too little time to dally! 4d
Octoberwoman I‘ve DNF‘d after only 20-30 pages, and as far as 2/3 in. I used to never DNF but I‘ve learned to let go in the last three or four years. Too many other books waiting for me! 4d

Susanita I heard this discussed on a podcast. The suggestion was 100 pages minus your age. 😉 4d
TheBookgeekFrau I find myself getting more picky, too. I DNF at whatever point reading becomes a chore. 4d
ReadingOver50 @Susanita I love this idea 4d

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Aftertaste is a literary feast, feeding the imagination and soul, lingering on the palate. I loved how unique and creative it is. I adored the clever wordplay. I salivated over the food writing. The NYC setting is palpable and the characters are to die for. It made me teary, it made me hungry, it made me wonder. What if you could share a meal with a lost loved one? What is the cost of holding on too tightly? #BOTM

BookmarkTavern That sounds amazing! 4d

I'm looking forward to both of these. They are from #BOTM and #NetGalley, both of which I need to start reading more of.

Thanks @thearomaofbooks

#Read2925

I think this is my final review of May, completed last week for #FictionalTraveler #SpanishSpeaking & the 6th of my #Roll100 picks for May (#4: Any BOTM). I‘ve put off reviewing it because I‘m still not sure how I feel about it. It‘s a quiet book about grief, depression & finding your life. Ruth leaves her job in NYC for a lake town in Guatemala, a place she felt most real in when she was there years before. It sort of meanders, ⬇️

DebinHawaii …which made me restless but there is a stark beauty in the writing. I think the challenge to me is I never felt close to Ruth‘s character or the characters in the relationships she formed with two different women. I did like the scenes set around Ruth‘s experiences as an expat & overall, I give it a soft pick. This was a #BOTM early release & doesn‘t publish elsewhere until July. 1w

I can‘t resist a S.A. Cosby novel. I also have really enjoyed Julie Clark and I love a thrilling summer read. What #botm did you choose?

Butterfinger I got What Kind Of Paradise. It was a tough decision. 1w
