It works as a pastoral novel about living off the grid, but there’s not enough momentum to keep it going.

I was so bummed out by it!

Agreed. Too slow, which was really disappointing.

Just saw a DNF on this one, which is a bummer. But one more off my list! Though I’m something of a contrarian (I know, shocker), so I just may give it a go one day. But thank you, as always, for the heads-up!

If it’s being sold as a thriller then the marketing folk are smoking too much homegrown weed. Yes, there is conflict, but it’s tiny blips, not unexpected, and not compelling. The whole back to nature is great reading- even if I consider camping to be a hotel without room service, but it was too slow for me.

I did not know this wasn’t a thriller. I didn’t love her first as much as everyone else did, but was still looking forward to this one. Thanks for the heads-up, I may wait a while.
