I've read every novel Liane Moriarty has written, and this is my favorite. I think because I'm old enough to understand the nuance of this book. My Japanese review: https://youshofanclub.com/2024/09/20/... ...more |

| I could see why some people love this book. And, now I understand why I don't. It's a male fantasy. Smart beautiful women devote their entire lives to a broken, imperfect hero. Basically, this is a male version of romance novel. I'm just not into it. ...more | |

| This is a modern day "The Talented Mr. Ripley". This unreliable narrator is pretty convincing. Even though you truly hate his guts, you end up hoping he would literally "get away with a murder". ...more | |

| Hilderbrand's books are always very entertaining. Very extravagant and gossipy. For many Hilderbrand's fans who don't really know the island, this might be the image of Nantucket. We have a vacation home on Nantucket for more than 30 years, but we ne ...more | |

| 3.5 stars. I read this novel right after SANDWICH by Catherine Newman. There are many similarities between 2 books, but SAME AS IT EVER WAS is a much better one. While I was annoyed with both female protagonists, I didn't hate Lombardo's novel. In a ...more | |

I've seen this book everywhere. So I picked it up to see what it was all about. All I have to say is that this novel feels icky and pathetic. I DNF'ed probably around 1/3 of the novel. A 45 year-old married woman with a kid believes it's so important ...more |

The cover is gorgeous, and I mistook it as a fantasy instead of a romantasy. That's on me. However, the annoying writing style with mishmash of metaphors is on the author. Someone wrote it's a copy of SJM. I dislike SJM. Therefore, definitely DNF to ...more |

I'm not really sure what I read. I kept on guessing the author's intentions and never actually enjoyed reading this book. My rating was shifting between 4 stars and 2 stars. In the end I decided to give 3 stars. Some people mentioned OUTLANDER and THE ...more |

“It is one of the secrets in that change of mental poise which has been fitly named conversion, that to many among us neither heaven nor earth has any revelation till some personality touches theirs with a peculiar influence, subduing them into receptiveness..”

“What's everyone talking about?"
"The end of The Iliad."
"That's the best part," Marx said.
"Why is it the best part?" Sadie asked.
"Because it's perfect," Marx said. "'Tamer of horses' is an honest profession. The lines mean that one doesn't have to be a god or a king for your life to have meaning.”

“The alternative to appropriation is a world in which artists only reference their own cultures."
"That's an oversimplification of the issue."
"The alternative to appropriation is a world where white European people make art about white European people with only white European references in it. Swap African or Asian or Latin or whatever culture you want for European. A world where everyone is blind and deaf to any culture or experience that is not their own. I hate that world don't you? I'm terrified of that world and I don't want to live in a that world, and as a mixed race person, I literally don't exist in it. My dad, who I barely knew, was Jewish. My mom was an American-born Korean. I was raised by Korean immigrant grandparents in Korea Town Los Angeles and as any mixed race person will tell you-- to be half of two things is to be whole of nothing.”
