True Story | Kate Reed Petty

Pickpick

This book is soooo good - I couldn‘t put it down. The blurb claims that it is a genre-defying mix of a campus novel, psychological thriller, horror story and crime noir, which is true.

I‘m still trying to process parts of it, what actually happened or didn‘t happen and how I feel about it.

Other than that, I‘m not going to tell you anything about it as it‘s one of those you should go into knowing nothing about.

squirrelbrain @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB @TrishB @Caroline2 @jennym - *this* is what Bunny should have been. If you didn‘t love Bunny (I didn‘t) it‘s like a poor cousin compared to this very clever, also weird, also a bit ‘meta‘ book. Try this one instead.... 4y
BarbaraBB Oh this sounds good! I am going to look it up! Thanks for sharing! 4y
Cinfhen I added it to my cart yesterday!! Do u think audio would work?? 4y

squirrelbrain Hmmm not so sure about audio @Cinfhen - trying not to give too much away but there‘s some sections that are annotated letters and also some play scripts so I don‘t think they would work. I know @oryx loved this one too recently - what do you think Emma, does it need to be read rather than listened to? 4y
squirrelbrain I hope you like it @BarbaraBB - better than Bunny anyway! 🤪👍😘 4y
Cinfhen Book is still pricey!!! So let‘s see what @Oryx thinks about audio?? I think @Megabooks read this too??? 4y
Caroline2 Sounds awesome....stacked! 😀 👍 4y
squirrelbrain @Cinfhen - that‘s a bit annoying that it is expensive.... I bet @Megabooks listened to it in less than 27 minutes! #speedfreak 🤣 4y
Oryx @squirrelbrain @Cinfhen I think some bits might be a bit annoying on audio - like the letters, where there is a bit of repetition (for a good reason) - I found I could look for the new text in those, but it could be a bit tedious if you have to listen to full thing each time. Although I think the multivoice cast would add something. 4y
Oryx Glad you enjoyed it Helen - I agree, completely unputtdownable. 4y
Oryx Also, if you had to pick a cover from the 4, which one would you choose? 4y
squirrelbrain I like the bottom left cover @Oryx , but not sure which genre that applies to - what do you think? 4y
squirrelbrain Great thoughts @Oryx - particularly on the multi-cast. I‘ve not yet listened to a book with more than one narrator (still an #audionewbie!) but I really want to try one out.... @Cinfhen 4y
Cinfhen I‘m still deciding on print vs audio / thanks for the feedback Helen & @Oryx and multi narrated casts are UH.MAY.ZING @squirrelbrain 🙌🏻 4y
Megabooks @Cinfhen I did the audio! It was great. Multiple narrators made it work! Lol...not quite 27 minutes @squirrelbrain 😂😂 4y
eraderneely Ok, when you say horror can you rate it on the scary meter? 0-5 creepy ghosties 👻 4y
squirrelbrain I definitely don‘t do horror and this was fine for me - don‘t want to give anything away but a cabin in the woods with some weird goings-on. More creepy than horror. @eraderneely 4y
eraderneely A creepy cabin in the woods with some weird goings-on sooooounds scary....will it really be ok? 4y
squirrelbrain As long as you‘re not planning to read the book whilst staying in a creepy cabin in the woods, Emily, you should be fine! @eraderneely 4y
eraderneely It‘s getting so much love, so I want to read it. Thanks for the advice! 4y
squirrelbrain Go for it @eraderneely - you won‘t regret it! 4y
JennyM Thanks for the rec @squirrelbrain #stacked! 😘👍 4y
LeahBergen Ooo, stacked! 4y
Oryx I think I like the same cover. I do like the horror one, but it's not as horror-y as that cover would suggest. 4y
