2018: #25 – Long Gone (Alafair Burke)

Long Gone by Alafair Burke

This was the second Alafair Burke novel I read in 2 months, but this one wasn’t as good as the first. The story is about Alice Humphrey, a rich girl who has declined the help of her father and is therefore in need of a job and surprise, one falls into her lap one evening at an art show.

This book was a chilling portrait of an abusive relationship and its aftermath. When Catherine meets Lee, she effortlessly lets him in to her life.

I really liked the heart of this book. I loved April and her unapologetic geekiness, and I liked what Dade has to say about body positivity, and that she wrote a male protagonist that walks the talk. What I wasn’t expecting was just how detailed into the fanfiction subculture this was going to go. It’s one of the few times I’ve started a book and
