Thanks to NetGalley and Riverhead Books for this arc, which I received in exchange for an honest review. I'll post that review upon publication. TW*: rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment, and incest*Please note that the victims and survivors of these horrors are children and that these topics/related scenes come up repeatedly.Updated 7/6/212.5 stars This is a well constructed novel born of the descendent of industry royalty (I came to learn in the acknowledgments), but I struggled with severa...
"The Paper Palace" by Miranda Cowley Heller is Literary Fiction at its best! "This house, this place knows all my secrets." ~ Elle BishopFifty-year-old Elle is a happily married wife and mother of three with a life-changing decision to make... Last night Elle had sex for the first time with her lifelong BFF, Jonas. It happened in the dark, in the backyard while both spouses were inside The Paper Palace. Elle has always imagined marrying her childhood love, Jonas, but it never happened. She met a...
Thank you Netgalley and Penguin for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.I'm not sure how I feel about this book, except that I didn't like any of the characters or the life choices they made. I can accept when a story has one or two characters that make dumb decisions or are born to cause calamity, but this book had no good people, they all were dysfunctional in their own ways, vindictive and judgmental (everything that is wrong with our generation today), and would just...
I loved this book. The proof (thanks the publisher) had sat on my shelf for far too long, and when I finally pulled it down, I read it in a day and a half, because I couldn't stop. One of those books that I read while walking around the house, attempting to do other things. Published in July. Every summer Elle goes to 'The Paper Palace' with her family - husband, three children and mother - a series of cabins in the woods on the Cape. She's been going there since she was a child, when she became...
Oh my…………Some books make you feel alive! They’re literal definition of endorphins trigger lots of positive feelings into your brain! They might also trigger negative feelings but you have to toughen up for confronting them! This book truly made me thankful because I’m nerd, I’m bookish, I devour books daily and I was born to be this way! And I’m so thankful to read it! It was one of the BEST READS of the year. I’ll need few hours… maybe a day to gather my thoughts… my more detailed review will c...
I didn't mean to read two books in one month that concern infidelity, but here I am thanks to library waitlists. In both books the woman is married with kids, but both their husbands are very different and the woman's ultimate decision are also different, and not in the way you would perhaps expect given their relative marital happiness or lack thereof. This book jumps straight into the act of the infidelity itself, so if you 're looking for a book that makes you feel somewhat ok about it first
I normally will read a book and just give it stars unless it is something I feel needs to be discussed. This book disturbs me in ways that I didn't know a book could. The sex, the emotional abuse, the parental abuse that goes on is one thing, the physical abuse of children and the lack of parental love is a completely different thing. More disturbing than all the above, the fact that this book has been rated so highly across the board. It gives me pause to think of the society we are becoming wh...
