I really enjoyed this! I read it in a day and a half; there were many plot twists and different layers. It kept me guessing until the end. A very fun read!

I am FINALLY starting my Book of the Month book! 😎

Ohhhhh my goodness I could have written this book myself. She's in my head!!

My BOTM is here! Happy weekend to me! 😎

This book is so bizarre -- a quarter of the way through and I'm still not sure if I am enjoying it! Good lunch break though! 😎

Food for thought - If you KNOW the world is going to end... Do any of your actions matter? Time to find out!

The author occasionally drove me crazy, but overall I really enjoyed this book - and the notion that women who aren't married are just as valuable as those who are. Worth the read for single and married folks alike!

Perfect evening- books and tea! ☺️

Spinster = Me, by society's traditional standards. So excited to begin this today! 😎

I LOVED this. So unsettling, so creepy, and such an efficient use of language. Definitely the best psychological horror I've read!

This book is creepy and enthralling, and this author is inside my head! @Ebooksandcooks

I received this book from BOTM and enjoyed it -- the writing was eloquent and thought-provoking. Then unreliable narrator also added his own interesting twists to the story!

Starting this beauty tonight! Can't wait. Thanks Book of the Month Club!

My loyal companion and I are now reading ALL THE MISSING GIRLS. :-)

Back injury = no work = lying in bed reading!

Enjoyed it! Well thought out characters, and inventive, descriptive language.

Well written stories, but not what I was expecting.

Perfect way to start a story. 😂

Crazy Saturday for the cat and me! Really enjoying this book so far.

I liked this book (but not as much as Little Bee!). It's a war novel meshed with poignant social and political commentary. Also - Cleave is a lyrical writer. His descriptions and verbiage conjure conflicting emotions simultaneously.

"Somewhere in the back of her mind she is thinking about love, what it is, its unyielding patience -- and the fact that she'd never come so close to finding it."
