This is an excellent YA sci-fi speculative fiction story. A family camps in #Greenland so the father can study climate change while the mother writes about mitochondrial DNA while son explores the land. But nothing is as it seems and it all unravels when the son discovers a colony of people living underground for generations, who will lose their home as the climate warms. Told from two perspectives of the above- and below-world, I enjoyed the ⬇️

Not sure how I feel about this one. It had a great premise & the characters were somewhat relatable, but some parts dragged on. It felt super confusing at points because of certain plot points (don‘t want to spoil it). It was like too much was going on, but then it all came together when the big reveal happened & everything sort of clicked into place. I did not love the ending as a whole - certain parts were good. Overall I would recommend

Excruciating slow and terrible. The last 30 pages brings everything together but it barely makes sense and in no way makes up for the lethargic pace.

#roll100 a darkly comic domestic ‘thriller‘ - always enjoy Graham Norton‘s fiction

PuddleJumper I did not know he wrote! 4d
bekakins @PuddleJumper he‘s done a few fiction books now - all the ones I‘ve read have been really good! Pretty cosy, usually set in a small town/village in Ireland, always plenty of interesting characters! 4d

I was really looking forward to this book because I love her other books. Sadly it didn‘t live up to my expectations. It was not as thriller like as I wanted it to be and the ending was a little bit of a let down. That is not to say it was a bad book - I enjoyed it and found it to be a good story with a good plot and characters who I loved. There were a few twists I was not expecting and that I found surprising. Overall I would recommend!

I grabbed this book on a whim at the grocery store for something to read on the beach and it was such a good read.
You are so wrapped up in the characters that you don't realize how well the author has layered in dynamics of systems in this country and how society views who is and isn't deserving of compassion, dignity & chances. The characters are so unlikable, but incredibly fascinating with a surprise ending you never saw coming. Read it!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A compelling family read of secrets and their lasting impact. I liked the way Lange built each chapter from a character‘s line in the preceding chapter to shift POV. I will read more from her

A dark love story, set in a haunted house.
Enjoyed it for a “change” of genre 😂
