Formula writing. Repetitive. Parts don’t make sense. Author doesn’t apparently know much about therapeutic model or ethics. Skip this one.

Loved Estella’s story that is the opposite of magical realism of male South American writers. I listened to the translated novel which enlivened Estella’s statement after she is imprisoned. Loved it!

Contrived, unrealistic story and characters. The French woman cop was degraded and gaslighted to the extreme by all the male characters “helping” her. They decided best treatment was to trick and emotionally brutalize Alice. This is a story about abhorrent treatment of a traumatized woman already brutalized. By the end I was hoping Alice killed the other characters. Unrealistic and half baked research by author. Detestable story that i finished because the narrators were great. Could only have been written, edited and published by men. And I wanted to like this novel! Staggering how much was lost by translator and editors. Doubtful that there was a professional consultant. Either Guilaume Musso is a chauvinist sadist or he should fire his publisher.

The creepy stories move quickly as the reader is compelled to find out what’s next! Freida McFadden keeps you in touch with your worst fears..and it happens and then there’s more. Themes of getting even and disciplined revenge are outrageous and satisfying. Not a calming chapter, only horror upon horror. Great fun,yuck reads.

Loved the experience of listening of Maggie Shipstead’s fine writing. The lack of sentimentality and droll, annoying, cool. characters reveal the fact that relationship is basically transactional.

“Her Perfect Family” is the perfect “who done it” when COVID, RSV or flu strike. Need a sleepless night + day to enter and not exit the apartment or book until Teresa Driscoll brings you through her Alt-Clue story of a student shot in the Cathedral at her graduation ceremony. There are more characters, connections and distractions than a Clue board.

Page turner. Not for anyone who has untreated PTSD. A grueling story that sails along. Gut wrenching study of the severest abuse and the possible outcomes.

Definitely not the standard Hamptons/Cape Cod summer schlock. Unique, inventive novella published in 1983 reflects the spirit of its age. Stands alone in its own category.

First go gave up after 60 pages because asking too much time & focus.
This time read over a long, cold weekend. Couldn’t put down and read right through. Loved characters set in a France during Occupation.. Fantasy, historical neo fiction. Author is fixated on snails but nice wrap around with the story. Sorry did not jump in 6 years ago.

Best read of summer. Korelitz is brilliant. Like Tom Wolf, Jean Hanff Korelitz captures the spirit of the age.
