I enjoy Piccoult’s novels, but this one has a distinct Lifetime or Hallmark movie flavor that I did not enjoy. Worth a listen (or a read), but doesn’t have nearly the same punch as some of her more poignant work like Mad Honey, 19 Minutes, or Small Great Things.

Another win from the master of horror! King’s character work and pros are impeccable. Holly is the perfect read not only for the spookiest season of the year, but also from a pandemic-posterity perspective.

A deeply contrived novel full of plot twists that hinge on coincidences, improbabilities, and character decision-making so bizarre one has to wonder if the author concocted the twist first, then had to find some way to justify it within the context of their story.

Well written, well read, and heart-breaking Ky relevant. As someone battling their own eating disorder, I found it both enlightening and soothing to hear someone else share their story.

As always, Follett is a master of historical fiction, with impeccable detail about his era of choice. But the characters are pretty basic and the plot run of the mill. Entertaining, but not my favorite of his books.

A gross, mediocre thrill-less thriller

Great first half of the novel- sets up an interesting mystery. However, the twist is predictable, leading into a mediocre “thriller” second half starring Claire, who is as dumb as she is uninteresting.

It takes the story a while to build momentum, but the payoff is sudden and totally worth slogging through the first half of the book.
