This was a hard rating to give! I am a HUGE Tana French fan. HUGE. So sitting here thinking about this book, I’m like what was this? This felt like nothing like her older books. The writing felt like a completely different author. I will never downgrade a review based on not liking a character…

I wish I would have read during Christmas time. This is a cutesy, folkey, holiday story. I didn’t really flow with the writing. I get the point of the story, but I don’t get it. It felt like all the pieces were there for a good story, trying to tell me some sort of life…

DNF. I gave up on this one.To be fair, I gave up on it due to the style of the actual book. I just don’t like super short stories/essays like this. It doesn’t keep my attention. I did giggle along to a handful of the stories I did read. But I didn’t feel connected to…

At the beginning of this review, I still don’t know what to rate it… I’m so conflicted. I hated this book, loved this book but am left mostly confused about my feelings. I will say, I FINISHED IT. Being able to finish a book get you 2 stars in my eyes at a min. The…

Hard time with this review. I am HUGE Tana French fan.Like many other reviewers, this was disappointing. I actually also just finished ‘The Witch Elm’ – which was worse than ‘The Secret Place’ – so that’s a positive? I love Dublin Murder Squad, but this book was the nail in the coffin and I probably…

I 100% read this book because goodreads and other reviewers told me to …… and I shouldn’t have. I mean I should have because I believe you can’t have an opinion on something unless you read them (which is why I read a lot of bad books…). I’m not saying this book was bad, but…

This was an … interesting one …It wasn’t my favorite – yet… I found myself thinking about it when I wasn’t reading it.It wasn’t amazing writing. I had to skim over some parts because of that. It felt like the characters were droning on and on a lot. Which was annoying to ‘listen’ to because…

I thought I liked this book … but when I came back here to write the review I realized I completely forgot about it.It was a good book to pass the time on … wasn’t anything special. Due to the redundancy, you can half pay attention to the words and still know what’s going on…

What is it about Backman that drives me crazy? It’s buts because ‘A Man Called Ove’ I was so taken with I named my Jeep after Ove. I laughed and cried and just really wanted this book to end. Not sure how I can feel all these things at once – yet, here we are. Other reviewers…

By no means a life changing thriller here, but a good solid effort from the author. It had a lot of *eye rolls* moments and I have to agree with many other reviewers when they mention the character building and plot development was poor. It’s a straight give away on the ‘who-dun-it’ part. On top of that…
