The first for the new book club! (Check on instagram for @derangedbookclub where I post all about books and do a live book club at the end of each month.)
[Editors Note: DerangedBookClub has since been cancelled because I got too busy with schoolwork and trying to become a librarian. However. I stand by the choices for bookclub.]
I was excited to read this because they were turning it into a movie which is how I know something is really really great. Or that they are going to make better somehow.
Well. Everything failed me.
It was good. But it wasn’t great. And the movie had a weird ending.
Not to mention one important thing that I could not let go of if my life depended on it.
INCEST.
Stephanie was boinking her stepbrother.
I DON’T CARE IF IT WAS YOUR STEPBROTHER. YOU SHARE A FATHER YOU TWO PIECES OF HUMAN TRASH AND THAT’S FUCKING GROSS.
And the fact that she kept saying he looks like her dad in his wedding photo, and she looks like her mom was a TURN ON?
*insert Exorcist level vomiting*
It could have been such a good book but once that was all mentioned I was OUT.
It had very ‘Gone Girl’ vibes about it and I wasn’t really into that book either.
So ‘Gone Girl with Incest’? I was super out.
I didn’t like ANY of the characters. And sometimes you just need ONE person to like in a book to redeem the entire thing.
Maybe that was the point though?
I don’t know anymore.
Constant vigilance.
