She has a 17 y/o daughter Sophie by an ex now in America as well as a mother who lives in the country & keeps chickens & teaches pottery making & is drunk all the time. Packed with riveting drama and painful truths, this book powerfully illustrates the devastation of abuse—and the strength of the survivors. Princeton University professor Sean Wilentz has never had any trouble seeing Bob Dylan as a crucial literary figure. Katie Mack's book exploring them is a fascinating read And when the police start digging, Stephanie's trust in her husband begins to falter and Patrick is primed to lose everything he loves. This book doesn't even have anything interesting going for it and then there's that BS ending that had every reviewer howling. When it comes to Shari Lapena’s latest thriller, "The End of Her" (Pamela Dorman Books, 352 pp., ★★★½  out of four), timing is everything.

And I usually like when the ending is not really an ending and you have to try and figure it out for yourself. Mottola soon started wooing her romantically, and Carey writes that their ensuing marriage effectively imprisoned her. I think the author forgot to finish the book. A couple on their honeymoon arrive in Paris during The Exhibition.

She quotes the first lady referring to the president’s daughter and her minions as “snakes”, and draws a parallel between Ivanka and Hillary Clinton, namely that Ivanka also used a private email address for official business, except she was not vilified for doing so.

Also to the critics who compared this to "Gone Girl" and "Girl on a Train" how? As author of a revenge story, Harriet Lane doesn’t quite belong on the level with Erin Kelly. It also analyzes reviews to verify trustworthiness. Lowndes has a really interesting take on suspense. Trump promises to protect sick Americans. Against this backdrop, her anger is understandable. I quite loved the characters & the settings of Her.

She didn't seem crazy in any other aspect of her life, so why is she so mad at Emma??? A 2.9???? I wish that I had counted the number of times it was mentioned how exhausted they were, but seriously it was written at least once per page for the first half of the book! Like other scarred veterans of the Trump administration, she now airs her grievances on paper.
