Fool Me Once: From the #1 bestselling creator of the hit Netflix series Missing You

Love Harlan's books but this one seems different somehow. Interesting story but the big twist just confused me. Must be getting old. Read it in 3 sessions so was certainly hooked, but I expected and wanted MORE. Highly recommend Harlan's books but not this one for a first time reader. Try his previous novel for a good example.

It was slow to start, and in a few spots laboured, but it got much better and was otherwise excellent. Relevantly, I read this just after establishment politics had robbed America of Bernie Sanders being President - a lost chance at meaningful change. So I was happy the author explored the damage of America's continual wars & the power & privilege of their rich, but also saddened at the realisation Americans seem to know they are enslaved and need change.

I love books where I can keep turning the pages desperate to know what's going to happen next & where I can relate to the characters, the setting/s, atmosphere, etc. This book didn't do it for me & I got bored at times, finding it tedious & complicated. I couldn't relate to any of the characters. I've given it 4 stars as it's undoubtedly a good story with a few big twists. It's just not MY kind of book but am sure others will find it spectacular! Don't let me put you off! A very well thought out storyline!!
