One twisted book! What a horrifying thrill ride! You really don't know what's going on for most of the book. But you may have some suspicions, it's not *that* out of the realm of possibility which makes it even scarier. By far my favorite Catherine Steadman book though I do still need to read The Disappearing Act and Mr. Nobody....more
I feel like if the story was longer, it could've been better and more fleshed out but I wasn't wild about astrology, it's not something NetGalley ARC.
I feel like if the story was longer, it could've been better and more fleshed out but I wasn't wild about astrology, it's not something I'm into or know very much of. It could've been something lost in translation for me as well. I always find Japanese-translated works to be a bit stilted so the story really needs to grabs me. The cats were cute and funny. I liked how the different stories tied into each other. Similar to Before the Coffee Gets Cold but I enjoyed that better than this one. May or may not read a sequel....more

I was born in 1986 and this book starts in 1997. What I remember most from the late 90's to early 00's is the music. Music was huge in middle school. I was making my friends CD mixes because I was the only one with fast internet, Napster/Limewire/Bitorrent (whatever the free (coughillegialcough) MP3 download site was at any given time, and a CD burner. Boy bands and solo female pop singers were EVERYWHERE. So I really got into this book and it was really nostalgic but also a close, eye-opening look into what went on backstage. Behind the scenes.
The girl band of the book broke up fairly quickly and most went on to solo careers. We follow Gwen and Amber for most of the book, Amber being the main character. That's how most of the book is geared towards. Female solo pop singers and the rude AF questions they were asked in the late 90's (are you a virgin? being the most-asked question. Could you imagine Olivia Rodrigo being asked that in an interview today?!) 90's/00's media was obsessed with women's virginity. Purity. ...more

Dull dull. If you like historical fiction, you may not like the contemporary perspective. If you like contemporary fiction, they may not like the historical perspective. I was bored by both. So disappointed. I literally skipped every rehearsal script scene for the play. That was completely unnecessary. This is only the second Picoult book I've not liked and won't own....more

I really enjoyed my first novel by S. A. Barnes! Something isn't right on the abandoned planet that Dr. Bray's crew is clearing up for possible terraforming. Strange black structures in the distance, dead aliens in the structures, a human body found outside of the habitat. Dr. Bray is trying to prevent ERS, where being too long in space causes hallucinations and violence. But is it ERS or something more sinister? A good read and a good audiobook!...more
