Cassie Great review, Michelle! Something told me I wouldn't like this one simply because I hate the cover, LOL.


Jayme C (Brunetteslikebookstoo) Sorry it didn’t work for you! Perhaps listening elevated my experience! Very fair and honest review! 💛💛💛

Haha! Thanks very much, Cassie! 🧡 I think my love for the classic Psycho and even the Bates Motel tv adaptation set my expectations far too high.

P.S. I also judge books by their cover. 😉

Thank you so much, Jayme! 💖 I'm so happy you enjoyed this one. I really wanted to love this, too. Maybe audio is the way to go.

Thank you kindly, Terrie! 🧡 I either have to love them or love to hate them. I felt nothing but irritation with Marion.

Kurt Reichenbaugh Good review Michelle. I'm curious, so is this set in the same time period (mid-century) as Psycho? Same Marion who we know from the movie? Sounds like it would be pretty good. Sorry it fell short for you. And yes, on a side note...there is a LOT of ball-kicking needed in the world now.

Hey Kurt! Thanks so much! 💗 This book is set in current times. It's the Billings Motel (Norm Billings) rather than Bates Motel. This one is located New Palz, NY rather than Fairvale, CA. I believe the Marion in this is supposed to be 29/30 but she came across to me as much younger and a bit immature which was part of the problem I had with this. Oh well, they can't all be five stars.

Barbara I listened to the audio, so I wonder if the narrators helped me to enjoy it. I understand your review Michelle.


message 16: by Kat (new)

Kat I appreciate your honest and excellent review, Michelle! I'd been wondering about this book, but what you've described isn't one I'd like! 💗

Thank you, Barbara! 🧡 I have heard the audio is very well done so that may be it.

Thank you so much, Kat! 💛 A lot of people are loving this so I hate to deter you or anyone else from reading this. I think my expectations were too high as I love the original Psycho so much.
