It takes a long time to get interesting, but I’m interested enough that I’ll pick up the next. It still feels a bit devoid of character, even with some big bombs near the end that seem like they should be shocking. But there’s enough in there to keep me intrigued.

Bad copaganda. IA as cartoonish bad guy, right down to cartoonish names. I’m sure it’s a product of its time. It could be worse, I suppose.

The Wife
Finished
I enjoyed the book overall but I do think that the eventual revelation that the women were lying, while maybe necessary to keep the twists coming and reveal the
_big twist (which was an interesting if not entirely unpredictable one), wasn’t really twisty itself and is obviously problematic. I spent a lot of the book wondering if the author would reveal their politics, and while I don’t think the twist is an endorsement, it builds up these women to a real extent, somewhat intelligently presents all the things people tell themselves so as not to believe the victim, while presenting them in a way that seems to indicate it’s not a great thing… and then says “yep that’s right they weren’t a victim” and that sucked
