This is a darkly atmospheric tale about a natural phenomenon that changes the lives of a young scientist and a formerly married couple. While the prose was rich, the second half was strangely paced and eroded my suspension of disbelief. The flawed characters' growth was undermined by the jarring ending. I did enjoy the themes of the story, but it wasn't a fulfilling journey. 3/5 stars.

What an opening paragraph! #wow #sold

Most people, Rachel knew, didn‘t want you to talk about your pain, not unless it was temporary like a twisted ankle or hitting your thumb with a hammer. If you did not hold up your end of the bargain and get better, things fell apart quickly. People would avoid you. It was easier to keep hidden, and she felt sorry for Harry because he could not hide.

This was recommended by a friend and now I wish I had read it sooner. It wasn't quite what I was expecting. I thought it would have more romance but I should have known better when Gillian Flynn blurbed it. It's an enjoyable, fast read with some science-y stuff and bioethics thrown in for good measure.

This fills two reading challenge slots: recommended by for the #litsyreadingchallenge and the letter R for #litsyAtoZ @BookishMarginalia

I devoured this one in about 24 hours. A bit ecological, a lot ethical, its a good plot, and the characters' choices add to the mounting tension. Really good read.

Hahahaha!!! Yup, been there.

Tackling this one next. Anyone read it?

Looking forward to this curated combo from Muse Monthly 😍

The writing is very well done, I thought. However, while the story is compelling, I didn't connect with any of the characters and that makes it hard for me to really enjoy a story. But overall, this was an engaging read. Rating: 🌝🌝🌝🌛
