Welcome to Litsy!

Not sure how I really feel about this book..just the story never captured me, none of the characters were likable, the writing was off sometimes. Thankfully this was a freebie out of a lending library. I‘d say pass on this one unless you‘re desperate for something to read 😂

I‘ve been trying to come up with something to say about this book, but the truth is it‘s just severely average. The writing is pretty good at times, but other times it‘s cringey and hard to get through. There are no likable characters in the book, and maybe that‘s the point, but it was hard to connect with anyone who was introduced. The book itself is fine, but I wouldn‘t recommend the read to anyone unless they had no other options.

I have a proof copy of this book.

Does anyone want it? Just having a little clear out! Wave if you're intrigued 😘

Eventually Susanna would tell Emily everything....Just not yet, obviously. When she was…how old? 6? 9? 12?
Not yet.
It became a refrain. A get-out clause. She was being honest because the lie was only temporary. Not even a lie. An omission. Like her omission with Ruth, which...was tied to the lie she‘d allowed herself. That one, final lie that she & Emily so desperately needed. And besides, she would tell Emily one day.
Some day.
Just not yet.

This is a well written psychological thriller, but I had a few issues with it. The main one being the fact I hate reading about animal abuse & it felt gratuitous here - I‘m just glad I worked out what was coming so I could skip the worst of it. Rating: 3⭐️

Thanks to NetGalley & publishers, Penguin Books (UK), for the opportunity to review an ARC.

Had so many errands to run today, but I finished my #sss and got the Christmas tree up. Also got my hair did and erased all the grey. Now it‘s time to read ❤️❤️

Reading with the Dorkie #dogsoflitsy

Reading my ARC from First to Read and watching my stepson play basketball on live stream. Wish he was able to be home tomorrow for Thanksgiving.

Another first time author for me! One room, two people - it does sound like it could be a bit boring, but it really wasn‘t! I devoured this one! The use of flashbacks stopped it from feeling claustrophobic and explained the background really well. The takeaway moral from this, is that secrets are unhealthy, basically!

A suspenseful psychological thriller, a well written and well structured story. A great build up of tension with quite a few ‘edge of your seat‘ moments. There was a certain incident after which I nearly stopped reading but decided to persevere. I‘m glad I continued because, although I wasn‘t as wowed as some readers and found it somewhat predictable, I did think it was quite a page turner even though the characters aren‘t particularly likeable.
