Sample Saturday is when I wade through the eleventy billion samples I have downloaded on my Kindle. I’m slowly chipping away and deciding whether it’s buy or bye.
Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough
Why I have it: Because Cleo gave it five stars.
Summary: A love/ friendship triangle that has sinister undertones.
I’m thinking: No, too many immediate suspense-scene-setters.
The Sarah Book by Scott McClanahan
Why I have it: No idea.
Scott McClanahan’s continuation of the portrait he’s been writing over the years about his life in West Virginia. This one describes his wife, Sarah.
I’m thinking: Yes – intrigued by the semi-autobiographical style and the opening line is an attention-grabber – “I was the best drunk driver in the world.”
The End of Loneliness by Benedict Wells
Why I have it: No idea.
Summary: The lives of three siblings are shattered by their parents’ death. Each grieves in a different way and eventually they become estranged from one another.
I’m thinking: No, didn’t grab me.
I loved The End of Loneliness but I can see why you’ve plumped for The Sarah Book.
I’m not sure any of these are for me but I’ll await your review of The Sarah Book to see if I should add it to the list!
I’d never heard of The Sarah Book or Scott McClanahan but it sounds like something I’d really enjoy. Nice and short, too!
