Music for Torching by A.M. Homes
4.0
This is a very fast-paced book. Not to say that it's an "action-packed" story, but the writing style makes the entire story feel very frantic. Like a disaster is waiting around every corner. The characters all seem to speak quickly in short bursts of sentences.
I've read The End Of Alice (also by A.M. Homes) and I think I enjoyed this book better. This is certainly not going to win any "feel good story of the year" awards, but it seems to ring true in a very modern Stepford-wives sort of way.
I feel like every sentence of this book had a double meaning, as if every choice the characters make is a parable for life. I think I'll probably need to read this again at some point just to take notes, there's lots of good stuff here.
