Met the author, was totally charmed. So far I'm completely absorbed in the story.

This book will not end.

I love this. How is it possible it has never been made into a movie?

Second, while I am LOVING learning about Ojibwe culture and I think Daunis is awesome, I'm having a REALLY hard time buying that two government agencies would recruit an 18 year old into a meth investigation- especially since she was a suspect and it involves teaching her how to make meth. I smell law suit.

One: can someone stop that idiot from sticking her book club sticker on every book? She's an actress and I do not consider her an authority on literature. This makes a book so unappealing to me. It goes for all of these "famous" blondes and their book clubs. Go away.

Sometimes I wish novels had pictures. What is a banana bunk bed? What do the shells Bill carve look like?

This reminds me of Hex.

Every single story is a winner so far!

I'm really kind-of loving this.

About 70 pages in and getting frustrated with this. Nothing is being explained, stuff keeps happening and we aren't getting to know any of the characters well enough to understand why to care.
Why is the mother in the tub all of the time? What is up with the non-red blood? Why was this kid isolated from her family for so many years?

So far, I'm really enjoying this. The problem lies in the edition. The stupid font is so tiny in this hardback that I have to do that old put-the-bookmark-under-each-line thing. Yes, I am getting old, but this is rough. If I can't take it at some point, I'll have to order the ebook.

Confession: I don't want to read this. I got two chapters in this summer and DNF'd it. I'm super sad it is on the TOB2021 list. I will just have to take it down like a bitter pill, I guess.

I'm not loving this. I'm sorry. I only really care about Jude and Reece and when the narrative isn't with them I find myself forcing myself to read.

I'm halfway through and cannot imagine what more this has to say for another 8 hours. Maybe the last 50 are resources pages? Book club questions?

Taking a break from this. It's highly possible that I just prefer my Murderbot in smaller chunks. It was all starting to run together so I'm taking a break and will pick back up after Valentine.

It came back in for me! I decided to back up a chapter or two and get back into it. It is so tense!
