The Lover by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
dark
fast-paced
- Loveable characters? No
4.5
What a dark little tale that will leave you with a wicked grin.
This is me sticking my toe into the water that is the works of Silvia Moreno-Garcia (I know - I’ve been sleeping on this author and I get it now) AND I CANNOT WAIT FOR MORE!
For such a short story, this tale pulled me in quickly and left me feeling like I deeply knew these characters. The author real knows how to get into the inner workings and root aspects of a person that let you see them so clearly. And there’s just something about the chosen dialogue in this story that not only had me giggling mischievously, but let me picture the characters personalities and physical quirks so clearly.
If you’re looking for something short and wicked that will leave you feeling deliciously smug at the end, The Lover is your book.
Thanks NetGalley and Amazon Original Stores for and ARC of this read.
