Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS.  I don't reveal the exact plot points of the book, but discuss the structure of the book which for some could spoil it.


I didn't really enjoy this much. I think seeing HBO's great "Big Little Lies" ruined it for me. Reading the same back-and-forth structure between some "big event" and the following days was tedious. When what happened during the big event was finally revealed, I was completely unimpressed. I'm annoyed with myself for reading all the way through and finishing the book. I was strung along and it kept my interest long enough to find out what happened on the big day, but I should've stopped reading after that. I guess I kept waiting for something interesting to happen, but it never did.

Unbelievable by Katy Tur

Unbelievable: My Front-Row Seat to the Craziest Campaign in American HistoryUnbelievable: My Front-Row Seat to the Craziest Campaign in American History by Katy Tur

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3.5 stars. I listened to the audio version and shook my head in disbelief more times than I can count as Katy was describing the various stages of the campaign. It's like I relived the whole thing, which isn't really a good thing. However, I like Katy Tur and it was interesting to see behind the curtain of a journalist following a presidential candidate.
