Thank you Simon Audio for the gifted audiobook.
Lila, one of Hollywood’s leading actresses, and Kurt, her filmmaker fiancรฉ, are making a feminist adaptation of F.Scott Fitzgerald’s Tender Is the Night. It’s sure to be box office magic. As the movie’s production ramps up, Lila begins seeing Jonah, a therapist noted for doing good work with trauma victims. Lila’s perfect life begins to unravel in Jonah’s office. Secrets, lies, and obsession are revealed.
This is a twisty debut psychological thriller set against the backdrop of moviemaking and Fitzgerald. The beginning was a little slow for me, but it picked up towards the end of the book when the big twists happened. This wasn’t the best fit for me, but I know many readers will be riveted throughout the story. Author Sash Bischoff also provides the narration for the audiobook and does admirable work. Psychological thriller fans and Fitzgerald aficionados will find a lot to like about this one. Just be aware there are trigger warnings before diving in. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
QOTD: How do you decide which book to read next? Do you go by mood, recommendations, or something else?
I usually decide by availability, obligation, and then mood. Availability is usually library holds becoming available. Obligation is usually book club or review commitments. After that, it’s whatever captures my attention.
