Titled “Keys,” Part 2 centers around Doyle’s four steps to break away from the cages of social conditioning. Part 1 concludes with Doyle’s pivotal first meeting with her future wife, soccer player Abby Wambach. She documents the Christian warnings against the desires of Eve, her therapist’s recommendation to improve her sex life by providing her husband more oral sex, the biased gendering of male and female bath products and its greater influence on young adults, and the common experience of women complying to impossible standards. She imagines Tabitha reflecting on her lost sense of wildness and affirms that, despite Tabitha’s current captive state, she is still wild.ĭoyle further explores her own captivity as a woman in Part 1, which she titles “Caged.” Through a series of vignettes, Doyle describes the various ways she has felt caged throughout her life and the social conditioning she has personally experienced. The cheetah’s captivity resonates with Doyle, who reflects on her own captivity as a woman restricted by society’s conditioning. The family encounters a cheetah named Tabitha whose handlers showcase her tamed wild instincts by having her chase a stuffed bunny tied to the back of a truck. In her Prologue, Doyle begins with a retelling of a visit to a zoo with her wife and two young daughters.

I listened to Bon Iver while reading this book, and it made me feel even more like I was really living in those cold woods in the middle of winter, instead of sitting outside on a nice day in fall. And, as I said before, the setting is so vivid and so eloquently described that I just want to move there. The book is primarily about Wren dealing with her grief, and even her smallest actions feel like huge victories. Not a lot happens in Lovely, Dark and Deep, but it doesn’t really matter. I got totally sucked in to the relationship between Cal and Wren, two people who each have more than their fair share of baggage. Cal might be exactly what she needs…if she can deal with the onslaught of emotions he brings out in her.īased on my summary, this book might sound upsetting-and, don’t get me wrong, it is! But it’s a lot of other things, too, including romantic. Wren’s parents make her get a job, she has to interact with the people in her dad’s art community, and she meets a guy. But, of course, you can’t hide out in the woods forever. This applies to all goods that are returned.

Louise begins to realize that David and Adele's marriage is a bit dark and twisty (to borrow a phrase from Grey's Anatomy.) It seems David is a bit controlling of Adele.or is Adele crazy? This book definitely keeps you guessing until the very end. Any normal person would either end the affair or the friendship, but Louise tries to balance both.and you can imagine how well that ends. (It reminds me a bit of the beginning of Grey's Anatomy.remember how Meredith first meets Derek?) Things get even more complicated when Louise is befriended by David's wife, Adele. That was a pretty good sign I was going to enjoy this book!īehind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough is about Louise, a secretary at a doctor's office who meets David at a bar only to discover that he is her new, married, boss. My friends were adamant on not giving anything away, so our book discussion that month was cryptic. And for me, that usually means a mystery/thriller or a historical fiction novel (okay, I know those are two very different genres, but they're the ones that do it for me!) One of my book clubs chose Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough for their last meeting, but I didn't have time (see also: I forgot.) to read the book before their meeting. After I read a book that I didn't enjoy, I usually want to follow it up with a book I know for sure I'll really get into.
