 Stranger things. It says friends don't lie, but it's like friends, and then you have to flip it over, you know Because the upside down friends don't lie. It's a gift from my friend Terry. Thanks Terry. Hello everybody. E here Welcome back to another book review today. We're talking about a book that I picked up for Women in Horror Month I finished it in February, but I didn't think it fit in February And there's a lot of stuff that happened in February and then follow me on Twitter if you've been following me here You know there's been a lot going on in my life Mostly bad unfortunately, but some good is starting to peek through But I read this book for Women in Horror Month. It didn't feel like a horror novel really I don't know how it ended up on my radar as horror It certainly isn't if anything it's more of like a it's not really a domestic thriller because it's not a domestic situation But it's Eileen by Sorry, a Tessa Moshfee. I Think that's how you pronounce her name Moshfee Yeah, this story is filled in the first person's perspective from the titular Eileen She lives with her alcoholic father. She is a bit of a lush herself. She has She has she doesn't just have issues. She has subscriptions. This lady is messed up Not in like a serial killer way, but there is a bit of a sociopath about her there is I Guess a missing person plot at some point It's there is a twist in here that I really appreciated because I didn't see it coming as I was reading along I Automatically latched on to the writing the writing is fantastic in fact I would say if you are more about plot than you are character and writing chops Definitely Stay away from this book because the plot it's not plot heavy. It's all about this being in this one character's head It's not as string of consciousness is like a Faulkner But she does travel down some rabbit holes in her head that are fascinating to read And I love getting a glimpse into a little bit well-built character. And that's exactly what I got with this book Again the writing is phenomenal I went out and bought her novella McGlue as soon as I finished this one In fact, that's probably a lie I think it was a little bit before I finished this one because the twist made me smile so much So I went out and bought my glue. I have that one up on deck. I don't know when I'll get to it It's only like a hundred and twenty hundred fifty pages I think so it won't be too long because I really want to get back to her writing. I Did hear from some people that They thought the book went nowhere. I'm starting to believe that books that most people Like the popular consensus says the book goes nowhere Those are the books that I end up liking the most the books that people don't see the point in Or most most people I'm not talking about everybody because I'm sure you know She wouldn't still be publishing if nobody understood her work. I really Really loved where this went. I loved how it ended. It was kind of like baby teeth It's one of those endings that just leaves you like, okay. Yeah, I dig that I dug that entire journey You are going to have those moments where you're like, what does any of this mean? If you're of my intellect anyways because there were several times I was like there's a whole lot of information here that I don't think has any Purpose and it did have a purpose which was great I loved watching Eileen Eileen deal with the different characters in the book who she respected who she loved who she hated who she despised especially especially her very very weird and Toxic relationship with her father these two going back and forth were terrific to watch It's not a happy situation in fact and My friend this is how I imagine my friend Sarah would deal with that with with an alcoholic She herself doesn't drink but my friend Sarah frost Sarah if you're watching this if you ever read this book This is how I see you reacting because I've seen you react to certain to certain people and you're always polite You never lose your head and that's how Eileen acts, but Eileen is is A sociopath I feel she doesn't really care about anybody else. It's all about her world So that's completely different from my friend Sarah But this is how I imagine my friend, you know reacting to people who are just absolute idiots or assholes or whatever a very polite To the point Direct approach and I love that about Sarah and I love that about Eileen So have you read a tessa mosh face Eileen if you have let me know what you think about it down there in the Doobly-Doo if you liked it tell me why you liked it if you hated it Tell me why you hated it give me specific so we can have a chat about it down there in doobly-doo But until next time I have been E you have been you this has been another book review. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye. Bye
