I’m Not Done With You Yet

Summary: Some friends–and friendships–are worth killing for in this dark, twisty suspense novel by national bestselling author Jesse Q. Sutanto.

Jane is unhappy.

A struggling midlist writer whose novels barely command four figures, she feels trapped in an underwhelming marriage, just scraping by to pay a crippling Bay Area mortgage for a house–a life–she’s never really wanted.

There’s only ever been one person she cared about, one person who truly understood her: Thalia. Jane’s best and only friend nearly a decade ago during their Creative Writing days at Oxford. It was the only good year of Jane’s life–cobblestones and books and damp English air, heady wine and sweet cider and Thalia, endless Thalia. But then one night ruined everything. The blood-soaked night that should have bound Thalia to Jane forever but instead made her lose her completely. Thalia disappeared without a trace, and Jane has been unable to find her since.

Until now.

Because there she is, her name at the top of the New York Times bestseller list: A Most Pleasant Death by Thalia Ashcroft. When she discovers a post from Thalia on her website about attending a book convention in New York City in a week–“Can’t wait to see you there!”–Jane can’t wait either.

She’ll go to New York City, too, credit card bill be damned. And this time, she will do things right. Jane won’t lose Thalia again.

Traveling With T’s Thoughts:

I picked this book out on Audible on a whim. I was trying to erase the ugh of The Liar and No One Needs To Know I had just finished and was hoping for something juicy. And good to erase the ugh of those books.

The first chapter had me convinced this was going to be a great book. Then it devolved. The obsession that Jane had with Thalia, the absolute idiot of a husband that Jane married. I kept wondering where our badass girl from the first chapter had went because she would not have put up with him.

I decided to take a break. I then decided to DNF. Life is too short, etc. Then, I just happened to see it as a book I could check out from the library. So I decided to give it one more try.

I skim read a few chapters and had just about decided my original idea of DNF-ing was worth pursuing…. and then the book took a twist and it became intriguing… then good… then really good.

I was disappointed that the book was half-way (maybe more) before I became truly invested.

What I liked:

The cover! I liked it.

The last few chapters.

Bottom line: For me, this book had so much potential and while I do feel the ending of the book was really good, the fact that it took a million years to get good- well, that was VERY disappointing,
