I totally agree about Liane Moriarty. I know she probably makes tons of money and is actually very celebrated but I still don’t think people give her the respect she deserves. She is so good. I can’t think of anyone who writes more entertaining books.
Yellowface does not have a loveable protagonist. That was the book that taught me I too prefer a protagonist I can root for and the best that I can say about the protagonist of Yellowface is that I just wanted her to give up and go away. The book is so well done and worth reading IMO but no warm fuzzies here.
OOO Good to know what to expect with Yellowface. That can make for such a devastating or annoying read - but then if the writing is good enough, it can carry a mediocre character.
Moriarty is so so so good. I did a light internet stalking of her recently hoping she offered writing courses or wanted to maybe become my new best friend? She is a great read.
I have! I love the idea of co-creating a book with a friend like David Levithan and John Green did for that title! Such a good idea and again, such perfectly lovable characters.
So many good books you suggested!
Thanks!! Read any of them and let me know what you think. Always love a good book chat.
