I totally get it! I just finished The Visitors and it’s fairly implausible, but I went along with it! It’s all so subjective.

I can also see feeling like the author was trying to hard or making up something too complex to be real, but it ended up working for me. I think I was in just the right mood for a crazy thriller and I couldn’t put this down 🙂

I absolutely think it’s what you have going on! For whatever reason, a slower pace is still working for me. Plus, I was so distrustful that it was hard to care, if that makes sense. She did a great job of constant surprises.

I am fascinated by narcissism (and narcissistic mothers in particular), so the detail on that front was great. I thought the Dr. Winter character was used more as a tool to get those ideas across and wasn’t fleshed out enough as her own individual for my taste. I enjoyed the multiple layers of manipulation and thought it was a tricky thing to pull off and she did it well. There were a lot of moving parts, but I flew through it because it kept me wondering.

I wonder if my totally chaotic life right now allowed me to just enjoy this book for what it is and not think too hard about how aware Cass was of her performance (she was!). Her awareness was also one of the things that mad me not trust her..and everyone else in the book. Which was one of the reasons I enjoyed it so much…waffling over who to trust the entire time I was reading!
