Book description
People Who Knew Me gets 4 stars from me because I couldnt put it down, and because I had tears streaming down my cheeks by the end. But, oh man, did I ever -- mostly -- dislike the main character and narrator Connie aka Emily. Emily leaves New York immediately after 9/11 and becomes Connie in California. The book is divided into two timelines -- one focused on Emilys life in New York and the other focused on Connies life in California. Slowly we learn what led Emily to leave New York and reinvent herself as Connie in California. And we also are drawn into Connies life and troubles in California. Its not in my nature to be very judgmental. I usually try to understand why people do the things they do. And thats something I really like about fiction -- theres so much room for exploring emotions and motivations -- for getting you to a place where you understand people who have different lives from your own. But in this case I couldnt get to a place where I understood Emily/Connies choices. I would give away too many spoilers if I explain too much. But Ill say that I understood Connies emotional reaction to the situation she was in in New York, but I couldnt understand the inertia that led her to the web of deceit and self-deception she created. And I never got to a place where she made sense to me or where I felt much sympathy for her -- except maybe at the very end. I will be very curious to see how others react to this book. Kudos to Kim Hooper for stirring things up with this interesting story. Again, 4 stars for readability and engagement -- sometimes a book can be good because it tests you -- leaving you angry and riled up. Thanks you to Netgalley and the publisher for an opportunity to read an advance copy.
