I read this book as an ARC and gave a full review here.
This was a pretty fun book. Of course it took me until about three quarters of the way through to realize it was a riff on Thelma and Louise… I thought the premise was original, and I found it plausible enough to enjoy. The twist at the end made the book for me.
It was like this book was written specifically for me. There was nothing I didn’t love about it. The premise of the town from a beloved series being real was like a dream come true. How many of us wish we could go into the setting of our favorite book and meet all the characters?! And the love story was…*chef’s kiss*. I loved this book so much, and I can’t wait to read more of this author’s books.
Easily one of my favorite books of the year, The Frozen River read almost more like a crime thriller than historical fiction. The frustration I felt throughout the book, the anxiety about figuring out whodunit, the end…I actually cheered out loud in my car at the events leading to the end of the book.
Read to complete a prompt for a summer reading challenge, this was not my favorite read. I had a lot of high expectations going into it after I read Slaughterhouse Five last year. While the book had an interesting commentary, it was very slow moving and felt very meh.
Pull out the tissues, you’re going to need them for this one. While the book felt a little slow in the beginning, as soon as Lenni and Margot met, the book really picked up. I loved the characters and their stories. I loved the concept, and I didn’t even mind all the crying I did along the way.
