Gorgeous turns of phrase: One man is described as having a "[d]eep voice. If brown velvet could make a sound, [s]he thought, this would be it."

Unputdownable. Can't figure out exactly what's going on.

My goodness, can this woman write!

I can already tell I'm going to be sobbing by the end of this book, if not sooner.

I am officially Emily Henry's newest fan.

OMG. This book *so* needs to be made into a movie. The scene with Wilma's birthday cake alone would be worth the price of admission. I'm already casting it in my head. Bette Midler would make a superb Wilma. Bryce Dallas Howard, maybe, for Barbara Underwood.

So far, I'm loving this novel. Especially Marcellus the octopus and his friend Tova, who cleans the facility at night.

Deep thoughts.

This needs to be a movie. Like, tomorrow.

I am loving me some Lulu the Basset Hound.

Exquisite writing. Compelling plot so far.

Loving this so far. Gorgeous prose; intriguing characters; solid mystery.

After a slowish start, this novel gripped me and won't let me go. I can foresee an all-nighter coming.

Gorgeous setting: the Sonoran desert.

So far I'm finding this novel utterly unputdownable. Unless it deteriorates massively between now and the end, it's a strong contender for my Top 10 list this year.

Exceptional.

I'm on the verge of not finishing this book. The mystery itself is interesting, but the writing is riddled with distracting errors.

Superb so far. Fascinating concept. Characters I care about. Well written.

Deeply scary.

Pretty heavy on the foreshadowing so far. But King has, as usual, hooked me.

Great opening line.
