It's been so long since I've read a book I've enjoyed this much, that is this original as well. Thank you so much, Rebecca Kuang! I'm so glad the cover caught my eye in the airport bookstore. I've never read anything that really speaks to what it's ac ...more |

"2.5/5 Rounded Up. Full Review to Come. Scattered Thoughts Below:
Apparently this is a sequel to Bush’s previous novel, “The Babysitter,” but is not marketed as such in any way. The characters Emma, Harley and Jamie (possibly others?) carry over from t" Read more of this review » |

"No rating, I decided not to finish when halfway through. A lot of positive reviews but this was not for me not for me. If you go in looking for a Friday the 13th style slasher, then I do think you will be disappointed. I also had a terrible time keep"

I tried; I really tried. I gave it over ten pages, but it still hadn't caught my interest, and the incessant descriptions of teenage boys' hair color and hair styles...who cares? And which girl was looking at her in which way...sigh. This is a NYT bes ...more |

Surprisingly good book--way better than I thought it would be. Even though I've been an avid reader of true crime since childhood, I'd never heard of Andrei Chikatilo, and the book went into each story it covered in fairly good detail. Well written an ...more |

| This was terrible. I've read all the other women's books on this topic, and really feel for everyone who was a victim of Larry Nassar, but I couldn't finish this book. It's also really expensive, so I'm glad I was able to get it from the library. ...more | |

“Or maybe they enjoy it now, like the lions of Tsavo,” Steven added. “The lions started out killing people for food, but ended up doing it for sport. For fun.”

“Yet, every day, I miss the feeling of flying. I will never experience it again. Sometimes, if I run far enough, past my limits, I can beat my legs into numbness, almost replicating the feeling of being a young gymnast on a good day. I can make myself feel numb but heavy. Never light. And I always feel the pain later. I pay the price with sore shins, aching ankles, and "hip pointers" jabbing into my pelvis.
Still, I have a love affair with gymnastics, with that period in my life. Often, I dream dreams of weightlessness. When I feel most disheartened, heavy with the burdens of everyday life, I imagine myself buoyant, floatable. I waft, on my own accord, propelled by my own volition, in effortless control. Completely powerful, resilient, substantial, agile.
I miss it every day.”
