I don't know about this one, guys. Are nonfiction books allowed to have unreliable narrators? I NEED MORE OPINIONS. 💀

passingfair Got to admit, I'm intrigued by an unreliable nonfiction narrator. I read a book on the Cottingley Fairies once where the author CLEARLY believed the story. 8y
oblongirl @passingfair By all means check this one out! I have 1000 questions for this editor. 8y
Matilda This was a memoir that delivers zero on the true crime part--especially the promised buildup. 8y
rachel_mbc Agreed that it's better to think of this as a memoir of her obsession than as a true crime book. I'm only about halfway done but I'm "enjoying" (not sure that's the right word) it so far. 8y

A great audiobook! It's Girl on the Train set on a small luxury cruise ship, and I'm on board (!) for that. Liked this one much more than her first.

Read this because of Lin's blurb on the cover & it didn't disappoint. The elephant tusk smuggling story is pure comic gold.
