I kind of slogged through this one - it wasn't bad, it just didn't catch my attention. It was meant to be depressing (I think), and maybe I just wasn't in the right mindset? I may revisit it at another time, but I just couldn't get into it during this period of my life.

The problem is that the pair is not to be trusted and the her life slowly begins to unravel If you love a metoo story (who doesn't), when fiction illustrates the current climate, or just want a thrilling novel to pull you in, Lucky Dogs is for you!

Absolutely fantastic! Could not put the book down once I began reading it. Cannot wait for it to be released. Will recommend it to everyone I know!

I liked the concept of this book initially, however I felt like it became quite convoluted and I lost track of what its purpose was.

DNF - I started this book right away when I received the approval & I was so excited. Unfortunately, I find myself a bit aged out of the writing style & the language. I appreciated some of the reveals; the way the character came into her own via the excessive use of thematics. However, it became too much, for me. I think that those readers among us who either speak as the character does or are currently habituated to the linguistic approach will have no trouble breaching the barrier. As for myself, I found it to be trying to be too much without really saying much of anything, at all & I'm not in the space to read such a book at this time.
