It was a Christmas gift.

Do yourselves a favour and skip it.

Nikki Clark | 38 comments I’m rereading the Beartown series by Fredrik Backman, I just finished book 2 Us Against You, it has 49 chapters. I gave it fives stars, which is something I do pretty much never. I will be reading the final book (The Winners next, which has 105 chapters. The entire series is available on Kindle Unlimited, and HBO has created a series based on the books.
It also could satisfy the following prompts: character-driven, grieving character, omniscient narrator, cover without people, finding identity

message 99: by Michele (new)

Michele Olson | 528 comments In The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager, the chapters aren't numbered, but there is enough of a page break that they could be, and there are more than 40 of them.
I'm only about 2/3ds of the way through, but this is A LOT like The Girl on the Train, in that an alcoholic voyeur spies on a couple and bad things seem to happen to the wife (I say seems because I'm not through with it).
