Good Me Bad Me

This one didn't work for me in the end.

The short, snappy sentences and thoughts could be effective if used every so often, but the entire books is written in that style and quickly became irritating and I struggled to connect even by the end.

Despite its predictability, I still very much enjoyed it

3.5 rounding up. A very interesting story, but I wouldn't categorize it as a thriller, although a bit twisted. The audiobook narration is very good, with a length of 10 hours.

Cant say this booked grabbed me the way it seems to have for so many others. Reluctant to return to it meant it took far longer to get through than it should have. Thought it started interestingly enough but sagged in the middle. Never really connected to any of the characters but was disappointed to find the ending so predictable. Still enough things to like about it, including the writing style, to look forward to future work by the author.

This was incredibly well-written and conceptually very interesting. It's about the daughter of a serial killer, who turned in her mother in order to avoid her own demise. It's a lot of introspection, but even though we're inside the main character's head, there's still a lot of the story missing. Definitely an interesting read if you like unreliable narrators. I enjoyed it, but just didn't find myself as invested in the story as I would have liked. I still recommend it, though.
