Key Word: GuestThe Guest by Emma Cline.

As people say, you see the train wreck and you can't look away. That's what the main character's life is like. She's a grifter, on her times, and she's trying desperately to find a way out, but she's also delusional and not one to dwell on how bad things are.

Challenge Complete!I read Golden Child by Claire Adam (also read for The Key Word challenge). I didn't know much about the book going in - but wow - it was definitely emotional! I had a moment where I had to set the book aside for a while before I could continue.

@Jennifer - I loved reading your summary - even though the book was trash :-)
Challenge complete!Key Word: Silence
Book: Dead Silence by S.A. Barnes.
Really enjoyed this creepy space horror. This is not really a sub-genre I read a lot of, so I was pleasantly surprised. Nice way to get the reading year started.
Challenge complete!Punctuation: Apostrophe in the title
A Serial Killer's Guide to Marriage by Asia Mackay
Quite an entertaining read.
Challenge Complete!Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan. This was published in 2021, but is set in 1985. It's a book about living a hard life, and even then, how some people have it harder. It's also set in Ireland, and touches a bit on the Magdalena Laundries.
