After Her: A Novel | Joyce Maynard
post image

This is the second time I've been surprised to realize Maynard is more than 10 years older than me, because her depictions of life during the time I was growing up are so authentic. This is a suspense story, loosely based on real murders in Marin county, but also a vivid and fascinating look at unsupervised adolescence. The family relationships are loving, flawed and sometimes deeply sad.

The book fairies are looking after me. I requested this book from the library. The only hard copy was in our State Library . Today I found this copy in a local op shop. 👏👏. I‘m very happy.

Have you ever bonded with a stranger over a book?

Ruthiella Over loving to read yes, but not over a specific book (except here on Litsy of course 😄) 3w

I really wanted to like this one, but it was so slow. Nothing really happened to keep my interest for how long it was. I feel like I dedicated so much time reading this and was just dissatisfied with the way it came together. It just didn‘t offer new to this type of dysfunctional family genre that is so popular and it was just way too long for me to not really be super interesting.

Get Lucky: A Novel | Katherine Center

I do so love Katherine Center's writing. But much like Happiness For Beginners, this one was much less romance and more young woman on a journey. Which I liked! This one was sister focused with a super interesting twist. So I liked this a lot, just didn't love because her brilliance (and my favorite part of her writing) is dialogue with a hero and heroine. ❤️

Golden State: A Novel | Michelle Richmond

Yeah, I didn‘t get this at all. There‘s alternate history dystopian elements (California voting on succeeding from the US), traditional contemporary fiction elements (couple divorcing), and this weird thriller part (ex taking co-workers hostage). It truly felt like three books and the sum was definitely less than its parts. Fusion confusion for sure!! One more #roll100 out of the way!

Ruthiella At least it‘s now off the list! 1mo
