First book review. This is my first book review and I wasn’t sure I would ever be the type of person to “yelp” and book, good or bad. However this book hit me, and it hit me in a good way. The first third of the book is a wild ride for someone who deals with anxiety. Then the book does a great way of using telepathy as a metaphor for anxiety and it all makes sense. Such a fun read and leaves you off feeling a strong connection to the characters and wanting more. Definitely recommend if your looking for something to pick you up from the weight of modern society.

Worth the wait. A bit slow and tedious in the first quarter, but perhaps made the rest more meaningful. Excellently handled. Very enjoyable read (after the tedious part).

A wonderful story.. As is usual for Connie Willis, this is a beautiful, thrilling, romantic, quirky, story. Apparently in the future, a simple outpatien procedure can implant a device so you can connect emotionally with your beloved partner. Only in Briddey’s case, it turns her into a telepath. Worse, a telepath who is linked to the man the whold office nicknames “the Hunchback of Notre Dame”. Read the story, and enjoy this brilliant, brilliant, little tome.

Wait, what did you just say?. I started this book when it was first published (2016 or so) but didn’t finish. I admit to being a Connie Willis fan, so I started it again. And this time, I couldn’t put it down. For the reason the story didn’t capture me before was exactly the reason I had to keep reading. It seemed like romance was what this book was about, but I am glad I kept reading. Granted, there is “romance”, but not the kind you would expect. (This is Connie Willis, after all.) Maybe a more gifted reviewer would write this review so that the plot isn’t handed to you on a smart phone text message, but even that is saying too much. Every character in this story is unique and has her or his own story to tell. Some are more shadowy than others, but don’t worry, that will change. The story ends ALMOST as it began, but with enough twists along the way to keep you engaged. The only thing I found somewhat disappointing was how difficult it seemed to me to follow the concluding logic that tied everything together. Although it was a satisfying conclusion in nearly every respect I found myself wondering into the silence “Did you hear someone say something just now?”

Superb Connie Willis. I am sorry that I finished this delightful novel because now I have to wait a couple more years for her next book. This is one of her more lighthearted social commentary stories. It reminded me a little of Bellwether. If this is your first book that you have tried by Connie Willis, you have found a gem.
