Books rated low on goodreads that I really enjoyed 🤷🏻‍♀️ || Book Recommendations part 2

It's just kind of this like slowpaced day in the life kind of a story, but there was something about the writing and about the sister relationships that really worked for me in this one. So, I really enjoyed it when I read it.

I gave this book four stars. I loved the atmosphere in this. Oh my god, it was just so creepy and weird and unsettling.

I just think the way that this book was written and like that kind of a metaphor is just so strong and so well done and it really just like touched me to the point where like I was almost in tears reading some of these scenes, but then I was equally like terrified.

But I feel like what this book does so well is that it has such great social commentary in this book about like so many things about like race, about privilege. There was a lot of feminist themes in this book and there were just so many thoughtprovoking discussions that you could have after reading this.

This is the kind of thriller where like I had to finish it all within one day because I could not put this down. Oh my god, it was so entertaining.

I loved the way that the motheraughter relationship was explored in this even though they were very toxic. I do think it was written in a way that just felt very realistic to me. And I also just really connected with this character as a protagonist.

And so in my opinion, I think that this is like grief horror at its best. Like I think that this is one of the better ones.

But like this book was so entertaining. It's just exactly what I was in the mood for.

And like yes, the ending was a bit of a letdown. I was not the biggest fan of this ending. But that only made me lower my rating to like a four star.

This book was just absolutely ridiculous and it had so much amazing commentary and I was just cracking up. It was so entertaining.

The writing style in this was absolutely stunning and the concept is a 10 out of 10 because in this story you're following these characters who can go to this place that's called the center and you can pay an amount of money to go there and then you can learn an entire language within 10 days but it's very like private and it's like hush and it's like invite only like what this is such a fascinating concept to me.

But I gave this five stars. Like I absolutely loved this. It was just so bizarre.

There was a lot of elements in this book that reminded me of The Troop by Net Cutter, which is like one of my favorite books of all time.

Like, it's one of my favorite thrillers that I've ever read because it's messy. It's ridiculous. It's chaotic.

The story within a story thing doesn't always work for me, but in this particular case, I really liked the story within a story element.
