Loved the premise of this book, but thought it could have been more. A pick, but a low pick.

AmyG Same. I was hoping for more, too. 1mo
Bookwormjillk @AmyG I think I might have liked it more if I wasn‘t going in with such high expectations. 1mo
AmyG Same again. I absolutely loved Leave the World Behind…so I was very excited for this one. 1mo
BarbaraBB I felt this way about Leave the World Behind so am in no hurry to read this one. 1mo

This was a good book but was too slow in some parts and I didn‘t love how the main character never seemed to learn.

Very early in the book I realized this is not for me, so DNFing. #hailthebail and another book off my physical tbr.

CoverToCoverGirl I love her BDB series and spin offs but I have purposely avoided this one. So glad I did. 4mo

Well, what to say... Intriguing and cringey as you watch her choices and decisions that she justifies so easily.
Interesting perspective on race and class, economics and society and what we each perceive as entitlement. Very different in approach and extremely readable!

The synopsis made it sound much more exciting than it actually is. It felt long and kind of slow.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

This was my first from @Billypar #ALSpine list and it was a great first read of 2025. I won‘t say much about it. Knowing less going in is more. Really atmospheric modern gothic psychological thriller. Foreboding and tension. The story unfurls in a masterful way. At halfway through I couldn‘t put it down. This book is about a lot of interesting things and makes you think but that would give some things away. Check Vinny‘s great review for more!

JamieArc Check trigger warnings if you have any. This story gets a bit dark. 5mo

BarbaraBB I loved this one too. So atmospheric! 5mo
JamieArc @BkClubCare Thanks! 5mo
JamieArc @BarbaraBB I do love an atmospheric read! 5mo
Billypar It sounds like you liked it as much as I did! 🙂 Definitely one to go in blind on. Which is true for me and Tom Lake - for all the attention it got, I realized I actually knew zero about the plot. I just started it today after finishing a holdover from 2024, but I'm already hooked. 5mo
Billypar If you're interested, below is the podcast episode with Lennon that first introduced me to him. @BarbaraBB I can't remember if I already shared this with you? https://open.spotify.com/episode/4G0fISU2x6iD8h0V7M0asn?si=zg2puYAgSLaD2rreu8q_a... 5mo
JamieArc @Billypar Thanks - I‘ll check it out. I‘m from Michigan and Tom Lake reps MI well. I vacation where it takes place and that‘s probably part of why I liked it. Glad you are liking it too! I hadn‘t heard of Lennon and probably wouldn‘t have read this, so I‘m really glad it was on your list. I plan to read more so if you or @BarbaraBB have recs, send them my way! 5mo
BarbaraBB @Billypar No you didn‘t. Thank you so much, I will certainly listen to it. 5mo
BarbaraBB Jamie, I loved the tagged one and it made me want to read all of his backlist. All his books are completely different but you can‘t go wrong I think . 5mo
Billypar I also read Subdivision first, and it's the only other one I've read so far, but I certainly plan to read more. It is a very different novel, but I liked it even more than Castle (it's even stranger if you can believe that, lol). 5mo
