I had a bad year in 2017 in terms of reading. I only read 21 books which is pretty bad. I blame Donald Trump you MFer. 2018 will be better. My Absolute Darling has been on many top lists for 2017, has been on my waitlist forever but I found a copy at the library. I read it in one day which in itself results in a good rating. Any book you can’t put down is good in my book. But the subject matter is so awful and so violent I second guess myself. It’s also pretty amazing that it is the first novel for this author.
PJH Rating: ****1/2
Eat On Edgecliff 
I agree Pat…I read it in December at the recommendation of one of my college friends. I almost put it down after the first 20 pages but agree, he sure can write. But what a story. Happy New Year
