The Coworker
By Freida McFadden
Now, in my last post, I said I was on an ‘autobiography surge’…well the surge was shorter than a cheap sugar rush. Life got serious, and a lot of things changed quickly. I didn’t read anything for several weeks. I tried to complete a book for the sake of providing consistent blog updates, but nah, this blog will be updated when I finish a book that I’ve read while actually living…and if I don’t, it won’t (this also prevents plotitude from becoming ‘work’ , and keeps it as a hobby). Ok, back to my latest read.
I should’ve known by now, especially after reading a couple of Freida’s books (pre-blog) how she gets down…she twists the story tighter than a stubborn HDMI cord.
Natalie and Dawn played tug of war with my emotions. A good bit of the dialogue is over email, and some of the emails had me in tears. The pivot in the story took place in a raggedy motel carrying a sandwich in a brown paper bag…oooWEEEE! Any liquid I would’ve had in my mouth while reading it would have flown out because I screamed.
The book will piss you off, have you rooting for someone to get their due punishment, and sometimes, have you telling the ‘justice bringer’ to slow the hell down with the antics.
I recommend this book; don’t pick a side too early.
