Welcome to Litsy!

Family + odd connections; reality versus alternative “what-if” timelines. This is a wild ride of a ghost story! Someday, I want to sit on a beach 🏖️ or on a boat 🛥️ and have Station 11 + this + Sea of Tranquility & FIGURE OUT HOW THESE CONNECT 😂 I really enjoyed following Vincent and her peripheral orbits. #Apr2025 Book31

“… a sensation like recognizing a familiar face in an old photograph: in a sea of faces that mean nothing, one comes into focus. You.”

Take a nap or start a book off my shelves? Copper votes, “Nap”. I will read a few pages and see what happens.

This was a reread for me, since I wanted to find out if I liked this book more the second time around. After fours years, I still had the same disconnected feeling while reading, still couldn't get into the story. The only thing that changes is that my understanding for the crash 2008 and the aftermath is deeper and I understood better what it meant for all those people affected by it.

I read three (3) novels for May #AuthorAMonth and I will say that I experienced a constant/the same situation in these 3 novels. Maybe is this author‘s writing style that is not completely for me. The premise is interesting, you want to keep reading, know more about characters but then during that plot development, I don‘t know what happened that I lost interest and found some parts boring. But then, you have an interesting ending.⬇️

I really didn't see the point of this book. I mean maybe I liked the Vincent character, but there was a lot of other stuff going on. Anyone like this? I would welcome other perspectives. I think Station Eleven was so much better.

Starting this since I finished Station Eleven & learned that there are connections with that book, this book, and Sea of Tranquility. I must say I‘m not enjoying the audiobook narrator - she doesn‘t do mens‘ voices well. Oh well…

I really liked this although I can barely tell you why. It's just well written. And once it gets going it flows quite well.

My book club at work picked this off a short list of suggestions. It's almost like I planned this. And then the senior director of our business unit signed up. Yikes. I gave my library copy to my intern because there's extra time. Hopefully she won't lose it. 😂

When this book first came out I skipped it because I had no desire to read about a Ponzi scheme. Thanks to #authoramonth I decided to give it a try and I really liked it. Yes,there is a Ponzi scheme in these pages but also so much more as we meet several brilliantly rendered characters, whose lives cross each other‘s sometimes briefly and sometimes not. I was ensnared by the weaving of their stories and enjoyed every moment of it.
