[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just read Best Offer Wins as well. It’s a really fun read if you’re from the DMV. It is very dark and has dark humor infused throughout. [b]It’s quite fluffy though[/b].

If you want super dark humor and haven’t read American Psycho- that’s a good read and I find it to be incredibly witty but it might be more horror than thriller.

Interesting. I didn't consider it fluffy. Yes, the plot was straightforward rather than jumping around in time, and no shifiting points of view. But I enjoyed the psychological complexity of the main character. Behavior was bonkers at times, but there was a lot going on inside. Interesting exploration of control, including as a method of self-regulation.[/quote]

With books, everything is so subjective, which is why it’s often hard to recommend things to other people. I didn’t find the character emotionally complex at all- just a complete psychopath with a past that tries to explain why she is the way she is. I probably found it a bit trite because I’m a psychologist in real life 😆 I still really enjoyed the book regardless. [/quote]
