Great premise, lacking middle and ending. I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed. Full review here.
Watch the author's excellent film The Love Witch (2016) instead. This falls kinda flat. Full review here.
Better than the second one, still not as great as the first one. Full review here.
The weakest of Nothomb's books I've read so far. Still nice themes of love, belonging, and farewell. Full review here.
Yes, this plot is going places. But it finds very natural ways to take the reader along and experience this wild series of events in a believable way. Full review here.
Gripping and entertaining, moving at such a pace that it's over before you know it. Full review here.
Still current, and great suspense even when knowing the twist. Full review here.
Constructed plot, patronizing lectures on the meaning of life and sanity. Full review here.
Definitely worth what little time it takes to read. Full review here.
Critiquing social media obsession with the steadiness of a fidget spinner and exploring grief in a way that would make Harambe proud. Full review here
A mythological tale with wisdom, but also such entertaining levity that you'll read about mass suicide with a grin on your face. Full review here
