MarshmallowAdventures

A beautifully atmospheric novel. The stories of Holly, Nisa, Stevie, and Amanda are diverse but diverge together in a refreshingly realistic portrayal of intergenerational relationships in a community. These relationships are at the heart of the story, and are at constant risk of being devoured by their individual desires for success.

I really enjoyed this book! The author's use of "Caravaggio" as a descriptor created a vivid and immersive atmosphere. Reminds me of my times in Mexico growing up. ??

Author is #POC

I had to spend a few days thinking about how I wanted to review this book. There were things I loved and didn‘t like. I had really high hopes when I began. I enjoyed the premise, the descriptive details, and beautiful writing and wording. But as the story developed I felt a little let down! I really wanted a bang of an ending or something and it just didn‘t give that, went with a more predictable plotline. Another 3.5 stars from me.

Might be able to finish this one during my #HyggeHour. Just got everything ready, mostly documents, for my first day of work tomorrow. I haven't worked since November 30th, so hopefully, orientation will go well.

I'm going to read in bed under my heated blankets with my babies adding some weight to my legs 🩷💜🐶🦞

Okay I'm half way through. We know what's up at the house so.... Is the story about to totally change? I hate thinking it's not going to be as atmospheric as the first part.
Tell me but don't tell me! No spoilers!

Switching points of view can be risky, but here it worked. Loved how things concluded.

Picked this up not knowing much about it. Liked how the tale spun out and you learned more and more about the monster. On a bit of a fantasy reading kick recently and this fit the bill. Really enjoyed it.

I am very happy with this follow up to one of my favorite books of all time. A playwright, her musician girlfriend, their sound engineer friend, and a washed-up actress get together to rehearse a play in Hill House. Hill House doesn‘t want them there… or maybe it really, really does. There‘s a number of highly satisfying callbacks to the original novel. It‘s not as subtle, but I think it‘s stronger for not trying to precisely emulate the master.

dabbe @Eggs I just realized what you wanted posted. A title with either a (?) OR a (!). #doh 😂😂😂 How about a (;) and a (,) instead? 2d
