I don't have enough words to describe how much I enjoyed this book, but clearly, I gave it 5 stars. WOW.
Oh man, had to read after hearing all the criticism of CoHo being a glorified WattPad writer and i'm sad to agree. I hate being the downer that doesn't like all the internet hyped books, but it's just not good. The plot jokes are GLARING. She faked being essentially brain dead? No doctor found out? I call bullshit. This is without a doubt the worst thriller i've ever read.
I have already read this one twice. As someone who would absolutely call myself a feminist, this was a tremendous look into feminism and how it is majorly lacking in its more expansive view. This was the first book I've read from a POC on feminism and I will surely be adding more because it felt like a wake-up call from the white-centered messaging online social activism regularly feeds me.
i think i listened to this book exclusively in the shower and it really felt like a good fit for this book ya know? like scary suspense in the shower?! count me in
y'all don't even know how many times I restarted this book. if you're gonna read this, make damn sure you aren't listening to it because this lady's voice??? why can i not understand your accent and why the HELL are you talking so quiet?
was a good book, i think Ijust spent 4 hours trying to listen to the first 20 minutes over and over again before i realized that i had to give this my full attention to understand anything.
but yeah, was good. movie was not as good lol
LOVE LOVE LOVE. I was right about the last book being build up for this one. Don't wanna give anything away but was very satisfied with the ending and everything came together and made sense. EXCITED about the next book that she announced?!! Obsessed.
Book 2 was very good. Engaging and fast. Loved ART. Robots interacting interests me more than j thought. Feeling bad for the Sexbots. Curious where book 3 will take me.
Very good. Been a while since i read a mystery book that i was able to finish so i was happy to be hooked. Did not expect so much
So very good. I feel like the bad reviews of this book being a sort of compilation of a lot of her other work missed the whole point that she pointed out in the beginning of the book, which is that this is an encyclopedia of sorts and not as much a self-help book that will guide you to a specific point. I've been reading this for a while and have absolutely been able to recognize more emotions that I feel and accurately define them–language is power for processing so I'm happy about that.
Trying another book where the main character has OCD in hopes to feel a connection with someone who also has OCD. Will probably be a slow burn.
Had a lot of potential but the ending sucked. Almost none of the loose ends got tied up. I wanted to know about Mason and got nothing. Was good until the last 50 pages IMO.
I enjoy a book that can set a character up to be the villain, and then quickly rug that out from under me and wondering if they too are just a victim. Books like this always make me question my judgment and morals of right and wrong.
Realistically a 3.5 // Okay, this book was so sad. I have a soft spot for memoirs, especially tragic ones with no actual resolution. This fits the bill. I cried quite a bit, and I loved the idea of capitalism taking hold of self-help and rewriting self-improvement as a never-ending goal that you need to do X and buy Y in order to (never actually, because there's always something else) reach. The unattainable goal of improvement can be encouraging in the right context, but it can also be unhealthy.
Would rec. Good, quick read.
alright, i haven't read a mystery thriller this good in literal years. the causal drop of the biggest twist of the whole book???????? 10000 stars. no need for any other words on this one.
I loved this book, until the ending. Could not put it down. The ending wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I was wanting. I wish I could have read about the fire and events leading up to it after the murder from Nichole's perspective, the abrupt ending after the murder from her perspective felt disappointing to me. Did she go to jail? Did she get the closure she needed? Were they charged with Alice's murder? Did they both go down? Did Aiden go down for helping cover up the murder? Otherwise, a great read.
Charlie is a literal idiot and clearly written by a man. Still an interesting read, minus the blatant idiocy of Charlie.
This book gave me a better perspective on how cults and cults groups (MLM's, SoulCycle, and other intense groups and organizations) use language to keep you in. I enjoyed exploring the different dialects of cultish language that was explored throughout the book, and especially gaining so insight into how politicians and those involved in our government can use the word cult as a tool. I will likely read this again one day.
This book was good, more emotional than a mystery–which was not what I was expecting but I still enjoyed it. The twist was foreshadowed well but was unexpected, and definitely made everything come together at the end which is exactly what I want in a mystery. The fewer holes the better.
Love Amy. I have listened to the audio version of this literally 10 times, and I love it every time. A road trip essential for me.
Read this again w/ Will. Finished it alone because he (I think) lost interest. Was my fave book for so long and it was still great, but maybe more for the nostalgia than the content.
Ugh I wrote a review that didn't save so no i'm just gonna sum it up and say that I hate excusing abuse because someone witnessed abuse and also that this book was terribly slow and the perspectives were hard to follow. don't read this.
2.5 stars. Not super great but it kept me engaged. Some plot holes for sure and the motive was lacking IMO. Wouldn't recommend. Also why did they not pull together her and Bob hating together in the end?? what was the point of that lol
