so-soGrabbed this at a sale because I'd seen it mentioned in my fb book groups. Started reading it and thought it was giving David Sedaris kinda vibes. Less than halfway through, I figured out what was going on and had an inclination of how it could end. Definitely a Fight Club type of vibe book. Not stellar, but good. 3 star
Our house got hit with the major storms that came through West TX over the last couple of days. Unfortunately, my office took the worst of it. I managed to save all the books that got wet and, with the major help that you see here, found the bright side and rearranged my shelves while I was putting them back up. Now, I just have to finish cleaning & wait for insurance to replace windows, roof, paint, etc… It could have been much worse, though.
A portion of the tagged book made my eyes all sweaty. She was talking about the loss of her much loved dog.
Most books won‘t make me cry but portions will get me teary eyed.

pickPage-turning! Two people, a newly divorced 40-year-old straight guy (Gibson), and a 30-something lesbian (Shelby), whose wife has died recently and unexpectedly, get drawn in by a charismatic pathological liar and only figure it out after they meet. Femme dyke, anxiety, and grief representation with Shelby are extremely well done. I love Whittall's #queer characters, because they feel so much like the queer people I know IRL. Great #audiobook!
Oof I forgot how real Zoe Whittall's descriptions of anxiety are, so real it is hard to read sometimes as someone with anxiety. You can tell she is so familiar with it.
Anxiety making an appearance these past few days.

pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I‘m certainly glad I read this book! Freedom versus tyranny and a battle of wills you won‘t forget.
Triggers: racism and misogyny throughout
pickPicked this based on title alone. It was worth it. The twists are good and the build up to them is well written.
pickExcellent book.
Mental health and feminism. Rebuilding yourself and understanding yourself.
Tendler told her story is a way that was easy to follow. I don‘t know if it was slightly sugar coated or more detail just wasn‘t necessary. I did get frustrated that she mentioned her divorce multiple times and yet we never get any story on that. We get the story on other men but not that one, it‘s odd to me.
Well written. Interesting.
