THIS BOOK HAS ME SHOOK!!!!
ABSOLUTELY SHOOK.
I can’t even gather my thoughts! It is jaw dropping. I’ve NEVER read a novel with a storyline like this. It’s 1000% unique, completely thought-provoking, heartbreaking, and filled with feels! The twist is one that will leave you shell-shocked, and the ending is sooooooooo fucking gasp worthy! I’m still reeling (days later), and I don’t know what I feel right now.
This story is so complex, it’s layered, it’s gritty, and it will stir a million different thoughts and feeling inside you. It’s a story that will get you talking, that will make you pause and think think think – what you would do in this situation? It’s deep, it’s hard, it’s intriguing, it’s uncomfortable, it’s a lot of things. SUPER LAYERED! Super different.
If there is one thing I can say, it’s that Marni Mann is SO FRIGGIN TALENTED. This author pushes the bar, she does NOT write to market. She’s a smart writer, unconventional, powerfully talented, and I’m a HUGE FREAKING FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you’re looking for something outside the box, outside of the normal books you read everyday, this indie author, and this book–The Assistant–are definitely worth a read. I was blown away, left breathless, and I can’t stop thinking about these characters! So damn good.
