Thank you to the publisher for a netgalley.

Honestly, John Marrs could be one of my most fav authors. 

I enjoy his thriller/suspense books, but I think his speculative fictions are my favorite. In The Family Experiment, we are dumped back into the time when every move is controlled by the government. Except this time, we are watching people compete with a fake, AI child. Of course, each couple has their secrets. And Marrs releases them in the most careful way. 

I could not put this one down once I started, and I highly recommend like I do 98% of his other books!

Thank you to Libro FM for an audio of this one. 

Ok. I did not love Leave the World Behind. It felt anticlimactic. But after reading the premise of this one, I figured why not. 

And now I ask myself why? The characters were one dimensional. Brooke is absolutely unlikable, and while  I do not mind an unlikable character, she takes such a quick change in personality. I am unsure who Brooke really is as a person. Which made this novel just meh. 

I enjoyed this more than the movie! 

Liked the story but good lord it was a 372 page monologue. 

Really enjoyed this one! Fun characters and already need the sequel! 

Loved loved loved. I am unsure why this took me so long to read. 

Elizabeth Strout writes such interesting stories. I love how our characters intertwine through numerous books. It feels so comfortable coming back to them.

I enjoyed the stories of our characters here-- especially Bob's and the multiple people whose stories ran with his. I devoured this book and though I somehow skipped a book in this series, I will go back to it. 

I do not recommend this book without some background-- esp with Olive Kitteridge and I Am Lucy Barton! 

Enjoyed. Creepy AF
