What Lies Between Us

Can't wait to delicately shred this to pieces at my company book club on Tuesday! This became a hate-read with a skim-finish about 3/4 of the way through, but it was terrible the whole time. It's melodramatic, very dark, and sensual in strange and unsettling ways. The plot twist didn't make any sense and turns happened way too quickly. None of the characters are at all likable. It reads distant and nightmarish for a book that isn't a thriller (at least, I don't think it is?). In the end, this is a story that spends a lot of time complaining about the plight of women in patriarchal societies while playing into every dumb trope of female hysteria. Just awful.
