For your "this book about an American woman is written by a British man" bingo card:
- Complaining about the grid system roads
- All winter coats are called parkas
- Audiobook narrator puts Rs at the end of words "parka(r), idea(r)"
- Girl washes her bra because she's been wearing it a whole day
- Everyone has a gun and pulls it on visitors
- Every home and office you go into offers you a hot beverage (coffee brewed in a kettle on the burner)
- Washington DC is only referred to as "Washington"
- Character is "Christian" in that she complains when other people "swear and blaspheme" then regularly does it herself
- Guns are always called "pistol"
- Oklahoma is referred to as the Midwest
- Showing off acronyms for 10+ irrelevant government organizations
- "Tarpaulin"
- "Liquid Propane Tank"

Sometimes having a split timeline can add intrigue. This time it just made the book disjointed and confusing.

I like that the mansion on the cliffs is crumbling more and more throughout the book. Gives nice vibes.

This book made me feel a lot of things.
Mostly, "PIP HOW CAN YOUR DECISIONS BE THIS STUPID?!"

It's a ghost romcom. What's not to like.

I adore this emotional, feminist, romance about forgiveness.

I love the angst between the narrators. I love that the book pulls the rug out from under you over and over again.

I wish that there was more slueth energy. With our narrators being a journalist and a detective, I was expecting more investigation.

For the record, I totally saw the ending twist coming.

I like that this is more character focused than book one.
I don't like that the mystery was less intricate, that we lost the fun constant reports and persons of interest lists. And that the character arc fumbled the landing by having Pip regress.

Beautiful. Just what I needed.
