It sounds right up my alley. And I’m on the wait list for it. I saw the synopsis for The Altruists but wasn’t sure if it pits the father too against his kids, in trying to get money back?? Hmm. You’ll have to let us know.

The characters aren’t very likable, which sometimes makes it hard for me to love a book like this. But wow–Ridker can write! He had so many sharp single lines that managed to be critical, observant, and sympathetic all at once. They were usually brief and a cap on a larger narrative, so kind of hard to quote, but I really enjoyed his writing style. I’ll be interested in your thoughts!

And I get what you mean about frustrating. I felt the same way but had to keep reminding myself how young she was- like Beck in A Corner of the Oval.

I have not heard anything about The Altruists! I hope it’s good one.

I finished Daisy Jones this morning and loved it. I’m a little freaked out- this is my 3rd 4-5 star book in less than a month, making me think everything else in March is going to be disappointing.

I need to look into Scribd since I do so many audiobooks. The audio version of The Silent Patient is terrific….love the narrators.

Daisy Jones is such a fast read. I almost wish I’d savored it a little more. I didn’t love Lisa Sees last book, but maybe I should try The Island of Sea Girls.

Thanks, Kathy. I hope the thaw comes sooner rather than later for you.

Yay! I’m looking forward to the upside down part.

So glad to hear another fan of The Silent Patient. I have a ways to go, but it gets better all the time.

I’m going to try to stay really open with these short stories since the format is still one I struggle with.
