Kobo Price: $15.99
This book was kind of expensive for a Kobo download in my opinion. Though it held my attention it wasn't exactly out of this world. I do agree with the blogger who suggested it, if you liked "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn you'll probably enjoy this book though I didn't find it quite as cleverly written. The story surrounds the life of a college professor who had a whirlwind romance with a woman only to be dumped, he agreed as per her request to leave her alone and move on. Six years have passed when he decides that she is "the one" and he must find her. On his journey to find her he realizes that things aren't quite what they seem. It got pretty ridiculous at a point where I was sitting there thinking, "that would never happen" but none the less I decided to finish the book and I still felt pretty compelled to find out how it ended. Though expensive it succeeded in keeping me entertained for two evenings. Worth a read, perhaps a good vacation novel.
I thought I would love Gone Girl after everyone raved about it. Truthfully I was bored. This book sounds interesting but like you said, most likely a vacation novel.
ReplyDeleteI read a book titled Choosing to SEE by Mary Beth Chapman. It is a true story about Mary Beth's daughter that dies suddenly but more than that it is about faith. It was excellent but get your tissues ready. You can put so much of her pain and how she deals with it into every day practices.
ReplyDeleteI just finished Wild:From lost to found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed. It's nonfiction and a good read. I only ever read nonfiction so I can live vicariously through the adventures other have.
