Hi, everyone! I hope you are all doing well and reading a lot of good books. Here are some of the books that I read in 2017 and my thoughts on them.
THE BOOKS:
Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh - 4.75 stars This is a very disturbing psychological thriller. It is a very in depth character study and Eileen isn't the most welcoming character, but I think those who are interested in this type of character study will enjoy it. Check out my review here.
The Whisperer in Darkness by H.P. Lovecraft - 4 stars This is definitely one of Lovecraft's stronger stories. It was a lot of fun to read, but it doesn't stick on the brain.
When I Am Through with You by Stephanie Kuehn - 5 stars I absolutely loved this YA thriller. It's dark, gritty, and it wasn't afraid to go there. I know a lot of didn't like it, but I loved it! Check out my review here.
The Beguiled by Thomas Cullinan - 3.25 stars The concept is interesting and it's definitely dark, but the pacing was off and I wasn't a fan of how long it felt. The ending was predictable, but the drama was entertaining.
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton - 5 stars I really loved this one. I adored the dynamic between Ponyboy and his friends/family. All the emotions.
Recommend the Most:
When I Am Through with You and The Outsiders. I loved them both for different reasons and I highly recommend them both, but to certain readers. I think everyone will The Outsiders, but only certain readers of thriller will love When I Am Through with You.
