Welcome Book Lovers
That sounds so much better than book haters doesn't it! LOL
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my "scoop" (I'm all about the short sweet spoiler free style of reviewing) about a book I've read.
I'd love to hear your thoughts or comments, if you have any, about this novel. I'd also love to hear about your favorite novel by this author (if there is/you have one).
Jessie Sloane is on the path to rebuilding her life after years of caring for her ailing mother. She rents a new apartment and applies for college. But when the college informs her that her social security number has raised a red flag, Jessie discovers a shocking detail that causes her to doubt everything she’s ever known.
Finding herself suddenly at the center of a bizarre mystery, Jessie tumbles down a rabbit hole, which is only exacerbated by grief and a relentless lack of sleep. As days pass and the insomnia worsens, it plays with Jessie’s mind. Her judgment is blurred, her thoughts are hampered by fatigue. Jessie begins to see things until she can no longer tell the difference between what’s real and what she’s only imagined.
Meanwhile, twenty years earlier and two hundred and fifty miles away, another woman’s split-second decision may hold the key to Jessie’s secret past. Has Jessie’s whole life been a lie or have her delusions gotten the best of her?
Usually, Chicago (area) based - and being from the area, I have to say , I love it.
Plus, with this new novel, Ms Kubica features Door County, Wisconsin, one of my very places to vacation too.
I've gone off topic some...
So okay, like previous novels, When the Lights Go Out, has quite a bit, pay attention or you'll miss it, going on and along with the dual story lines. This all makes for a compelling read.
I still don't know quite how I feel about certain points, and to say more would ruin things...however I still highly recommend this book.
It's out this Tuesday, Sept 4th:
