Beautyland by Marie-Helene Bertino
⭐⭐⭐ 3/5 Stars - Sci-fi element was nothing but gimmick, a forgettable coming of age story with nothing new to say.
My Husband by Maud Ventura
Completely unhinged unreliable narrator with masterful building tension! 🍊🍊🍊🍊 4/5 Clementines
Life Ceremony by Sayaka Murata
A beautiful and weird collection of short stories that ask who decided what normal is? ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 Stars
Kala by Colin Walsh
I need to find more Lit. Thrillers because I loved this mix of strong character development and theme with a dramatic Whodunnit to untangle too! ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 Stars
She’s a Killer by Kirsten McDougall
The cli-fi dystopic setting was cool, and it's funny but I found it had nothing to say. 🍍🍍🍍 3/5 Pineapples
Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 by Cho Nam-Joo
A quick read and a quick review: short, clinically straight to the point and razor-sharp! ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 Stars
We Spread by Iain Reid
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 Stars - A challenging bit of weird fiction with strong themes. Deliciously, wide open for your own interpretation!
All’s Well by Mona Awad – Review & Analysis!
Witchy, hero-to-villain, twisty, Shakespearean... Fantastic! A 5 Star Mini Review followed by so much analysis!
This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone
Huge disappointment! Overwritten, hard to follow and and mawkish romance. All style and no substance. ⭐⭐ 2/5 Stars
Tomorrow, And Tomorrow, And Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
Loved the writing style but too much focus on minutia of game design, and characters I grew to dislike. Tedious reading. ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5 Stars
