It's been nine years since Charlotte Colbert witnessed the horrific events the tabloids dubbed 'Scarlet Christmas'. That's how she was named in the police reports - a witness, though Charlie knows she was far more than that. But thanks to a cocktail of therapy, work, and severed friendships, Charlie has finally moved on: she's soon-to-be married and the editor-in-chief of a major magazine. Even the press has finally stopped harassing her.
My Thoughts
I found Jenny Hollander’s debut novel, Everyone Who Can Forgive Me Is Dead, exceptional. The protagonist, Charlie, is trying to rebuild her life while dealing with a traumatic event that happened almost a decade ago. As her world crumbles around her, Charlie struggles to hold on to her sanity. The story was gripping, and I couldn’t wait to see how it would end. Although the ending was a bit underwhelming, I thoroughly enjoyed the journey, and I’m excited to read more from Hollander in the future.
