My first Lisa Jewell book I didn't instantly love :( idk the story wasn't bad I just hate reading from the perspective of creepy men

I didn't like this one as much as One Dark Window but it was still great and a good conclusion to the story!! The spice level did pick up from the last book too which isn't a complaint but it did feel like a noticable shift.

Another incredible Atwater story!!! Effie is a spitfire struggling maid I loved every second of her story!

Absolutely loved it but the cliff ending is killing me!! Gotta wait to borrow the next one TTATT

It was pretty good but I thought the sex scene in the middle was completely unnecessary

I think this dragged on way longer than it should have. I picked it up looking for a sci-fi and got bait and switched into a romance.

Sickening. Couldn't put it down. The world is full of Davids, forgettable men put down by "the system" who think they're entitled to what they're owed. Don't be a David.

It was good enough for a YA mystery thriller but Neera became insufferable in the last act 🙄

Its always scary when one of your fav trilogies gets a new book 10 years later ... Of course I expected ending with more questions than answers! Overall it was fun to add a bit more context to this universe. Looking forward to the next one Jeff has planned!

While I liked the show I hated having Joe inside my head.... The stream of consciousness narration also got a bit sloppy and difficult to follow at times.

Burke and Hare and Yaoi

Medieval horror with a weird sapphic love triangle

Toxic lesbian vampire multiple POV story! I really loved the characters and the world Schwab has made for them. Definitely recommend.

I loved it!!!

Definitely over hyped by people saying it's scarily accurate to today's society. What is accurate is the capitalist ideology he definitely hit the nail on the head with that one.

Call your mom.

A whodunit mystery on a one way space trip spliced with flashbacks of our mcs experience as an Asian American "hafu" and her relationships on earth.

I've been a Cher fan since birth so of course I loved her book!

interesting but not amazing

the emotions I experienced in only 30 pages is insane

I want to reread it immediately that's how much I loved it

Definitely more disappointing after reading a book with very similar plots. Our main character lies and cheats her way into a seemingly perfect life only to have the rich woman they're lying to also be manipulating them in return. Not a bad read but I saw the twist coming a mile away.

The first half gave me so much second hand anxiety but once we switched perspectives I got into it. A fun and fast read.

Sapphic body horror that explores the beauty industry, music, and what it's like being Asian American. Would recommend!

Took me forever to get through this cause I was so busy.... Still mulling over my rating though.
I've settled on a 3.5 rounded up. I did enjoy the writing a lot but having the most unreliable narrator “recount” a story 40 years later did leave some things underdeveloped while we got almost too much information about his teenaged sex life.
Overall I think I would still recommend the book so that's why I rounded up not done. #justiceforrobbert

I really wanted to like this book but I found the plotline overcomplicated and confusing. Kidan is unlikable and can't even stick to her own messed up morals, Susenyos' motives make no sense, and God forbid either of them actually communicate with each other. The timeline jumps around rapidly and what would have been an opportunity to actually show character development we just get told about it after the fact. Like we went from study groups to drinking buddies without actually bonding???
I think if the book wasn't over-hyped maybe I would have gave it 3* but I was left feeling really disappointed, I don't even care to find out what happens in the next book.
The writing was beautiful and the ideas incredible, but in my opinion needed a lot more editing and trimming. If you liked it more than me I'm happy for you, I hope the next book is less divisive.
