Thank you again @celadonbooks for the gifted copy of The Sequel by Jean Hanff Korelitz. Thank you also to @macmillan.audio for the listening copy. I borrowed the audio of The Plot from my library and let me tell you, I devoured these books. Absolutely bingeable!
▪️The Plot - Definitely start with this book or you will learn the outcome of it in The Sequel.
Psychological. Suspenseful. Smartly written.
“You are a thief”
In The Plot you go on quite the journey with author Jacob Finch Bonner. He was a promising young novelist after publishing his first book, but when he goes to write a second book he finds himself with the worst case of writers block. He’s got absolutely nothing. So, in the meantime he starts teaching at a low tier MFA program. He doesn’t expect much of his students; practically anyone can get into the program! However, when he sits down one on one with each student, one in particular has definitely got something. The Plot. Years later when he finds out this student passed away, he decides to take this idea for his own…
▪️The Sequel - Look up the synopsis if you dare. Because if you haven’t read The Plot it sort of gives away the ending. I agree with the blurbs that this is “insanely readable” and “perfectly told”. The Sequel is definitely as good as the first!
I’m giving both of these books 4.5 ⭐️. For the fan of literary thrillers/mysteries.
Hope this becomes a series and there are more!
