The Couple at the Table
by Sophie Hannah
View in Library Catalog
book cover


The joy of reading a suspense thriller is to have bits of the puzzle along the way. This novel left me wanting. I figured out who had killed Jane in the first few chapters of the book. It was a bit too obvious. For the plot though, it dragged on until the last few chapters when SUDDENLY the main detective just pieced it together without explanation. Then, the long-winded explanation of how he figured it all out just about bored me to tears. It felt like in those reality TV shows when they go to announce who they've chosen and wait an inappropriately long time to just give their answer. Get on with it. In addition, the main character was a bit ridiculous. I do not recommend this book.

This book was a book club read. Whoever recommended it hit it right on the nail. I have never read anything by this author but I will now in hopes the other books are just as good. This book is a thriller! About a man in
Milk Fed

book cover


I decided to read this book after seeing it on bookstagram, and I'm so glad I decided to pick this up! This was an interesting read, it explores so many big and important topics and issues in such an interesting and engaging way. Through the idea of food 'Milk Fed' explores how the ideas put in our heads about body image at a young age effect how we live our lives as adults, it shows how something as simple seeming as eating and hugely HUNGER can play such a huge role in how we exist and experience things each day. It also explores the idea of what a "mother" is and what that figure looks like, and how she is perceived and is supposed to act and be to a child and an adult. Another big theme that comes out in this book is religion and its role in sexuality. It talks about how your upbringing can affect your view of your sexuality and force you to behave a certain way while also not changing who you are. Ultimately it shows the brutal reality of how religion and sexuality often clash and can lead to painful relationships with the people you care about and how messed up family dynamics can be. This book also explores the workplace and how as people we tend to "preform" a certain way with different groups of people, especially for people we see as higher up than ourselves, along with how this effects the way we see ourself. I read this book over the course of two days, it was a fast and addictive read that had me dying to know where the story was going to go. I loved the characters (and hated a few), especially that we could hear the inner thoughts and voice of the MC, it made the story so interesting. I loved this book and can't recommend it enough!
