Home Is Where the Bodies Are by Jeneva Rose
4.5
Twisty and turn-y. I would like to hear more about why N veered off the way she did.
Yellowface by R.F. Kuang
4.0
Not the ending I wanted, which is fine. But a biting and open view of the book and publishing world. Kuang has experienced a lot of life already and has a lot of wisdom to share.
A World of Curiosities by Louise Penny
4.75
More of a thriller than her usual but very very good. The ending gets mushy and I had to listen over and over to clarify who did what to who and how in the end but it's great.
