CackleRachel Harrison
Mixed

Or I could see her doing something like Cackle by Rachel Harrison. I didn't love that one. I just didn't think the pace of it really worked for me, but the concept works for me.

ChlorineJade Song
Loved it

And these two are actually ones that I love. But Our Wives Under the Sea and Chlorine are things that are heavy in metaphor just like she writes, but are based around the water.

Fang FictionKate Stayman-London
Not a fan

I have been reading a selection of books where a main character like ends up inside of a book so many times and it's never good. I just want the concept of fang fiction or the concept of novel, a love story to be written by Emily Henry.

HideUnknown

Hyde was such a good concept, but like you spent such little time with each character that it wasn't really about getting to know everybody and then it went off in like a supernaturally weird way.

HusbandsHolly Gramazio
Loved it

I also loved the husbands. In this one, one day this woman comes home, a man is in her attic or comes out of her attic and is like, "I'm your husband."

I didn't end up liking Reluctant Immortals, which is like a character from Dracula and a character from Jane Air and like what if they went on this road trip, but I also just like don't really like road trip stories, so that's on me.

Shark HeartEmily Habeck
Mixed

Maybe one that I could think of is Shark Hart: A Love Story, which I know so many people love. That one was just okay. It's about this man who is turning into a shark.

The Midnight LibraryMatt Haig
Loved it

The Midnight Library, a woman has the opportunity to live like all of the different ways that her life could have gone. And I know a lot of people didn't love that one. I loved it.
