pickThis was a YA novel about a young man who has agoraphobia caused by anxiety. A former classmate who barely knew him when he still went to school decided she would “fix” him so she‘d have a topic for a college application essay. Since I‘ve read books before, I could guess how that would turn out but this was still a good read. Everyone is written in a sympathetic way, which is important.
This was my #BookSpin for May
So I‘m sitting here reading this 200 pages in & I realize I have been reading the MCs thoughts/dialogue with a British accent. But wait this is NYC. Is this character supposed to be British? Did they say she was British and I missed it? No 1 in NY talks like this. So I flip to see the Author page. Also I assumed AJ Finn was a woman…. Anyway….
Started this one last night 💚. Really excited to read this, it's different from what I've been reading. I found it used at 2nd & Charles.
This is so late, but THANK YOU SO MUCH @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks for the sweet Christmas package you sent me! I have not read the books but am so excited to get to them. It was so thoughtful ❤💚❤
panGoing to be honest, I didn‘t love this book. It felt incredibly formulaic, drawing heavily from domestic suspense cliches set by other books preceding it. The plot twists were easy to see coming, and Anna as a character didn‘t interest me.
so-soThe tension, unreliable narrator, and action were done really well. There were a few spots were I reached a conclusion much faster than the narrator, but the ending still surprised me.
But what makes it so-so is the controversy of the author. I only found out about it after I read the first few pages. I couldn‘t really read it objectively at that point 🤷🏼♀️
pickLoved this book! So beautiful and sweet!
