*When looking for my next audio novel, I kept coming back to this novel. It certainly was the "IT" book of the year 2025. I wasn't sure it was for me, but decided to give it a try via the Audible version.
What It's About - Five Things You Need to Know... *The main character Sybil Van Antwerp, drives the story through a series of letters she writes and receives.
*She keeps in touch with the people in her life via letters and is not happy the form of letting writing might be a dying art form.
*Sybil is a strong woman who has her own ideas and how she thinks the world should be.
*When one letter is received, it turns Sybil's life inside out.
*She must face her past and life and ask herself what is true and what is false.
What I Thought of It - Five Observations/Reflections...
*This was another story that I was glad I listened to rather than read. I'm not sure the printed word would have held my attention.
*I enjoyed the audio version and was interested most of the listen.
*Even though the story is told in a series of letters, emails, and other forms of communication, it still felt like it was being told in a traditional format.
*There were some moments during the story where I found myself interested, invented, and connected; while other parts didn't quite grab me and lost my attention.
*The story moved at a slow and steady pace, but was well written and quite different from most books I've read.
Who Should Read It...
*Being that this novel was at the top of most lists during 2025, I think most readers would enjoy the story line. In my opinion, female readers may enjoy it a bit more than the male. And if you enjoy the format of letters and emails, then this is the book for you. Happy Reading!
Rating...
