I feel like it's probably actually going to be closer to like a four and a half out of five stars, which does feel pretty on point, you know, for me because all the other books that I compared this to, like A Good Person or Big Swiss, like those are all books that I gave like four and a half stars.

I feel like it's probably actually going to be closer to like a four and a half out of five stars, which does feel pretty on point, you know, for me because all the other books that I compared this to, like A Good Person or Big Swiss, like those are all books that I gave like four and a half stars.
You know, I actually wasn't the biggest fan of Carrie by Stephen King when I first read it a few years ago now because I thought it was kind of boring and I didn't really care about the religious themes, but I actually do appreciate the story more after hearing, you know, this woman talking about it and kind of like seeing the intention that Stephen King put behind that story and just kind of like hearing about like the early days of that manuscript and like how it came to be.
It's kind of like in Fang Girl you know when she writes the story of like Simon and Baz, I just start to get bored with like the story that's happening within the story.
I just love these characters so much and I loved the romance so much that this is like without a doubt a five star. Like, it was just so cute.
But this one, I only read the first like 50 pages of this and I just wasn't really vibing with it. So, I decided to set it aside
So, I really enjoyed this one for the most part. I'm probably going to give this one around four stars. I just think if you're a fan of Stephen King, this is like an absolute must readad.
I feel like it's very interesting to hear about writers and their process. And that was something I loved about on writing by Stephen King, you know, because he does have a book that's talking about his writing
And it was so cool because Pet Cemetery is my favorite Stephen King novel.
I think my favorite romance that I've read this year is Star Shipped by Cat Sebastian.
There were also some parts of this book that kind of reminded me of The Passengers by John Mars, which is like one of my favorite books of all time. I mean, that one is definitely more of like a fast-paced thriller.
I've always heard that Stephen King doesn't like The Shining movie adaptation and so she kind of like deep dives into that at the start of that chapter and it was really cool to hear more of the details about why Stephen King doesn't like The Shining adaptation because I always personally thought that The Shining movie was actually better than the book.
So, premise-wise, it definitely sounds a lot like They Never Learn, which is like one of my favorite thrillers.
