I ended up not getting it. It seemed good, but apparently character-driven, maybe along the lines of Celeste Ng. I wasn't in the mood for that. Maybe some other time.
Then I started One of us is lying. I like it so far.
February! What are you reading?

Re: February! What are you reading?
I finished The Rome Affair. It was OK. I didn't feel invested in the story, really.
Next is Catalina by Liska Jacobs. It's her debut novel and I like her writing style two chapters in.

Finished The Perfect Nanny by Leila Slimani - was disappointed with the ending. So many loose ends.
I'm just about done with Fire and Fury - Inside the Trump White House. It's terrifying and hilarious all at once.

Re: February! What are you reading?
I haven't been posting here much sorry.
I finished Sunburn by Laura Lippman. One of her stand alones - generally I really like them but this one was disappointing. I'm sick of reading about characters I hate. I guess for me, I need to like at least someone.
Before that, I read The Woman in the Widow by AJ Finn which I really did like although the reviews have been all over the place.
I think I have My Husband's Wife up next. I have a stack and just don't have the time to read anymore as I've been bringing work home.

M reminded me that I already read My Husband's Wife. Its not in my book journal so I must have given up on it. I need to track those better. I read the first few pages and it seemed familiar.
I'm reading Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine. I'm really liking it.

Ooh, I LOVED Eleanor Oliphant! It was by far my favorite book last year. Mellen hated it Curious to see what you think.

That's funny. Well we all know that you and mellen should avoid each other's recommendations generally.Ooh, I LOVED Eleanor Oliphant! It was by far my favorite book last year. Mellen hated it Curious to see what you think
