Deep Roots, Siobhan O'Brien #2

Hello folks,

Voila!



It took a while (too long!), but the followup to my first mystery novel, Skin Deep, starring intrepid private eye Siobhan O'Brien, is finally out. It was in fact published as of this past Tuesday, so I'm even late on that account. :(

The prepub word has been excellent:

"This is a beautifully written and thought-provoking novel that resonates long after the final page. Woo masterfully weaves two parallel paths - one where a man and a woman collide, leading to love, and another where they pass through life, oblivious " Read more of this review »

LOVED the writing style 😭 It is lyrical, dramatic, and metafictional!! The narration at the beginning kinda breaks the fourth wall and I loved it (yes, I've said that already, but it's hard to find words)

Quotes by Sung J. Woo  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Right here was her favorite part of sex. Judy had borne witness to her share of masculine denouements to know of their obvious commonalities -- the quickening of breath, the increased force of motion, the eventual spasm, and the long, satisfied sigh. But at the same time, they were as singular as snowflakes, and Judy believed she could tell a lot about a man from his brief ride through penile ecstasy. Because here, there were no walls, just a clear window into the vulnerable truth of a person.”
Sung J. Woo, Love Love

“They'd pass the time talking about some vapid TV show or the latest popcorn flick, never talking about anything of consequence, but when you stacked up these incidental layers of small talk, they added up to a level of comfort impossible to duplicate in any other relationship.”
Sung J. Woo, Love Love

“She was living in the present but was preoccupied with the future's past, doing exactly what years of therapy had told her not to do. You were supposed to live in the moment, because that's all there ever was, and yet it was maybe the hardest thing to do.”
Sung J. Woo, Love Love
