October 2020 Wrap Up

i thought this was so brilliant and so heartbreaking it is definitely not a horror book as pop culture has always casted it

i just didn't like much of anything about it i'm happy she went to go seek therapy but it's just weird it's cringy it makes me feel icky

i didn't really care for this one to be completely honest i think it reads like a first novel which i can't exactly fault her for but i think it's far longer than it needed to be

i picked it up because i love maybe you should talk to someone by laurie gottlieb so much

i've already pretty much come to the conclusion that unfortunately i don't think i'm going to love any of the rest of her novels as much as i love north and south and wives and daughters

for the most part i really liked this book i particularly liked violet sections whether they were in the past or in the present because you can tell she's an artist the whole world is vibrant and colorful to her and the language reflects that

this was a lot of fun it's very cleverly written i just wish that central tv show could have been a little something more than such an obvious game of thrones clone

when we finally do get to that central story the book gets a whole lot better it is well researched it is well presented the information is shocking but the author resists the urge to sensationalize anything

i liked parts of this book i think it needed some help editing wise that it didn't ultimately receive

i think it was the author sections that just felt a little bit lacking for me i think i was waiting for it to become about something more than just agonizing over a long-distance love affair and that never really happened but still it's a really decent book overall

i hated this book but not even in a ragey way it didn't make me mad it's just i didn't like a single thing about it

it's exactly as i feared it's all questions and no answers and felt like half of a book felt like the same thing kept happening over and over again

i've already pretty much come to the conclusion that unfortunately i don't think i'm going to love any of the rest of her novels as much as i love north and south and wives and daughters
