Book review

The truth about the Harry Quebert affair by Joel Dicker 5/5

Description:

August 30, 1975. The day of the disappearance. The day Somerset, New Hampshire, lost its innocence.

That summer, struggling author Harry Quebert fell in love with fifteen-year-old Nola Kellergan. Thirty-three years later, her body is dug up from his yard, along with a manuscript copy of the novel that made him a household name. Quebert is the only suspect. Marcus Goldman, Quebert's most gifted protégé, throws off his writer's block to clear his mentor's name. Solving the case and penning a new bestseller soon merge into one. As his book begins to take on a life of its own, the nation is gripped by the mystery of "The girl who touched the heart of America". But with Nola, in death as in life, nothing is ever as it seems.

Actual thoughts:

An emotional rollercoaster? Like this book has it all, and i mean all.

True love? Check. First love? Check. Undying love? Check. Love in all the wrong places? Age gap? Platonic connection? Investigation? Thriller? Murder? Exorcism? Check.

A book filled not only with a beautiful story, an interesting case, and lots of suspense but with many rabbit holes, many preconceptions, many truths, and likely as many lies. As a writer I've adored it, consuming it in two days, that is only because I do sometimes sleep. I was invested and captured I was fucking rooting for Harry and found Marcus is such a likable and relatable character. Despite the briefest physical descriptions of the characters they speak for and about themselves enough for the reader to truly get to know them, from their simple day-to-day to their darkest secrets, I felt like I was basically there myself, hearing about all shades of the human nature and understanding piece after piece the beautiful messages hidden (not so much) in the book. A book within a book within a book! A book inception! And I loved every paragraph of it. If someone wants a fast-paced, well-written, and incredibly well-executed thriller and mystery this book is a must.

...in order to be magnificent, all that was needed was to distort the way others perceived me; in the end, everything was a question of appearances.

“The reason writers are such fragile beings, Marcus, is that they suffer from two sorts of emotional pain, which is twice as much as a normal human being: the heartache of love and the heartache of books. Writing a book is like loving someone. It can be very painful.”
