Really amazing writing. The story jumps around in time, which I usually find to be a style I don't like. But in this book, it is interesting and creates a feeling of putting together a puzzle which you finally solve at the end.

Such a intense book in a short amount of space.

Wow. I totally forgot I read this book until I saw the goodreads ad for the paperback version. I think I blocked it out because it was actually very disturbing and I have a friend who is a real estate agent.

Loved this book and can't wait to read the final book of the series.

Loved it! Wonderful story with great narration from all the characters. I have read some people liken it To Kill A Mockingbird and I can understand why. Read it!

Who knew there was so much to learn about cadavers? A funny book about a macabre subject, but so well written. I was up late reading about cadaver heads used for training plastic surgeons!

A social dystopia book in the genre of Brave New World and A Handmaid's Tale. Set in Sweden, it has a creepy premise: women who reach age 50 and men who reach age sixty and are single and childless are considered “dispensible.” They go live in the unit and are the subjects of scientific tests for the greater good and then also end up donating organs. Well written.

Such a great book. The “letters” make it such an easy read and it was eye-opening to learn about the occupation on this island. And the characters are all too wonderful and quirky.

Very quick read. It was a little far-fetched to believe that these two girls from a small southern town made it to Hollywood and had real acting careers – one as a big star and one as a working actress in commericials and movies of the week. I enjoyed reading about L.A. because I miss it there, but it was definitely a myopic view of what L.A. is like although for actors in Hollywood (which comprise a small part of L.A. population) I think it was spot on.

Read this last Halloween and loved it. So creepy.

Not entirely sure how I feel about this book. Will probably revisit.

Listened to her audiobook. Hearing this story in her own voice made it memorable and very real.

Audiobooked this while knitting a hat. Kept waiting for something to happen. The last quarter of the book was better. Bummer, I thought it would be a series I'd like.

Still my absolute favorite book. We just named our Puppy girl Scout.
