Read for second time. Loved it just as much

Revisado: 05-04-25

Honestly this has been one of my favorite books to suggest to people but I forgot what it was really about because it had been so long since I read it. So I added it to my reading pile and laughed and cried and loved all over again. This is truly one of the most thought-provoking and well written books that I have ever read.

Best book I’ve read all year

Revisado: 10-22-24

I love Sharon. I’ve been following her online for years but for some reason hesitated on this book for a few months. I can confidently say this is the best book I’ve read all year. Sharon’s well practiced teacher voice comes through not only literally but in her writing and she did such a fantastic job being entertaining while also leaving us with life lessons. After reading this I feel empowered and encouraged to make changes for better, entertained, discouraged about the history these people had to live to create change and also grateful to have learned about such amazing people to look up to. Thank you, Sharon, for sharing. Thank you for clearly putting in the work to show us the true value of each of these people as individuals. Thank ayou for creating such a wonderful space to learn and discuss and learn hard things while never feeling judged. You are a wonderful human being and as I’m confident this isn’t your last book I cannot wait to hear more from you. Governerds forever. 🩷

Historical fiction at its finest

I loved everything about this book. I loved the dual plot lines, loved the history, the characters, the imagery, the voice and the message.

Worth it to make it through to the end

Revisado: 08-30-24

This book grasped me at the beginning. There were parts of it near the middle that I was so confused on why they were relevant and could they get to the point already. And then it all came together. I could not stop reading the last quarter of this book camping, so pleasantly surprised that the story kept going. I can genuinely say that I love this book.

Kept me guessing right up to the very end

Revisado: 04-02-24

As always, Lucy Foley made an incredible mystery that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The last few chapters I couldn’t stop listening to as I HAD to find out who and why. Super highly recommend.

Pleasantly surprised how much I liked this

Revisado: 03-07-24

I’m definitely a fan of horror and suspense and I really enjoyed this story. Great amount of suspense and intrigue, the characters were interesting and I felt like the pace of the story was perfect. Definitely along the vein of King-esque storytelling, but definitely stands out as a great writer in his own right. Definitely recommend the read.

Pleasantly surprised how much I liked this book

Revisado: 04-19-23

I chose this book because the premise sounded good but I was in kind of a book rut. This is a wonderful book. All of the feelings, as I saw other reviewers say. I honestly didn’t know what direction this book was going to take. But I fell in love with the sisters and became engrossed in their stories. Loved the dual perspective. Sometimes it’s hard to remember that sisters can grow up in the same household and have completely different perspectives on their childhoods. Definitely glad I grabbed another book from the same author!

Started with a hunch but kept guessing

Revisado: 04-07-23

I started this book with a hunch that I knew it was one of two people. But this book kept with the twists and turns and the ending was crazier than I thought. Finished in two days because I couldn’t stop listening. Fantastic read.

Took me a few days to recover

Revisado: 04-05-23

I liked this book. I really did. But akin to Verity I was left a little bit speechless afterwards as to what I just read. Hard to believe people like this actually exist. Very well written, Gillian Flynn is a fantastic writer who really pulls you in. Definitely prepare for psychological thriller. Really really great can't-stop-reading psychological thriller.

THANK YOU

Revisado: 04-05-23

I feel like this was such an important book for me to read. Thank you for writing this. Yours is a perspective that is so important. You ARE welcome and loved and needed.

This book was clearly so lovingly and thoughtfully written. I plan to buy a hard copy and make notes and highlights, which I NEVER do. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. 🤍🌈
