I happily recommended this (again) today because someone commented on a PC wallpaper painting that led to the rabbit hole that is this lovely book! It's not for everyone (usually I need plot... there's no plot!) but it's a great book for noodling on all sorts of subjects.

The opposite of a beach read! Eerie, confusing and infuriating!

...and the Janes are back!

Proud mama when little girl steals my graphic novel to peruse

My child is absolutely going as this bad-ass woman for Halloween. I expected a light, fun while respectful written version of the Tumblr phenomenon but this was actually a super readable, educational biography of this living icon.

Yet another privileged white family drama? Yes and no. This snuck up on me as a masterful anti-bildungsroman with multiple POV's that somehow, seamlessly, blend into a powerful and warm tale of New York, family, parenthood, 9/11 and so much more. (+Many "leaving the nest" allusions possible thru).

Thought I would finally be disappointed by the series but the heart, teen angst and family dynamics just keep getting better!
Thank you Ms Wilson!!

Good things: subverts many of the genre cliches... And the narrator is pretty great as an unreliable narrator despite being the detective.
Not so good things: 1)heavy handed foreshadowing
2)Villain seemed obvious to me 3)false allegations of rape as an unnecessary plot device (so you know whose bad)
