Chronicle Supposing Books Dark Rooms

The Secret History meets Sharp Objects in this stunning debut about murder and glamour set in the ambiguous and claustrophobic world of an exclusive New England prep school.

Death sets the plot in motion: the murder of Nica Baker, beautiful, wild, enigmatic, and only sixteen. The crime is solved, and quickly—a lonely classmate, unrequited love, a suicide note confession—but memory and instinct won’t allow Nica’s older sister, Grace, to accept the case as closed.

Dropping out of college and living at home, working at the moneyed and progressive private high school in Hartford, Connecticut, from which she recently graduated, Grace becomes increasingly obsessed with identifying and punishing the real killer.

Compulsively readable, Lili Anolik’s debut novel combines the verbal dexterity of Marisha Pessl’s Special Topic in Calamity Physics and the haunting atmospherics and hairpin plot twists of Megan Abbott’s Dare Me.

Write Up Appertaining To Books Dark Rooms

Lili Anolik's "Dark Rooms" pretty much defied all of my expectations. I had anticipated something along the lines of Donna Tartt's "Secret History" and Tana French's recent novel, "The Secret Place," but was pleasantly surprised by the strong and gritty protagonist, and an unpredictable story. Dark Rooms centers around Grace Baker, who attends a Connecticut prep school with her younger sister Nica. When Nica is found murdered, the case is solved quickly, but Grace finds herself unsatisfied by

5 "snarky, jagged and twisted psychosexual" stars !!! 2016 Honorable Mention Read with High Distinction This is an ancient Greek tragedy in a contemporary private school New England setting.This book absolutely blew me away. It is sooo raw, soooo sordid and yet so poignant.A 17 year old girl is murdered and her older sister seeks out her killer.Do not let the casual contemporary tone fool you. This book is full of primordial emotion. primitive lusts and humans acting out their id impulses in a

Don't make my mistake and be seduced by the well-written synopsis. It's about the only thing that's well-written about this book. DR is poorly written. Not only does it use up every gender/socioeconomic status/sexual orientation/addiction/grief coping mechanism trope that's out there, the author has no sense of voice. Her characters are supposed to be either high school juniors and seniors or college freshmen. They all sound like they are in their mid-twenties. It's not so much their actions

Grace Baker has always been the girl who causes no trouble. She is a good student, she is a dutiful daughter, and she is a loyal sister. If here is drama to be found, Grace leaves it to her younger sister Nica.Until, that is, Nica is murdered.The police think they identify the culprit, so Grace, her parents, Nica's friends, and the school community where they live should find peace, right? Peace is a difficult commodity, however, when the real killer is still running around.It isn't that Grace's

If this book did nothing else it made me so incredibly grateful for the mother I have. Not that my family was perfect by any means but the mother in this book is a piece of work. Seriously she makes Joan Crawford look like a nominee for mother of the year. grace is the eldest, the quiet sister, the good one. Nica, one year younger is popular, considered by many to be wild. Despite these differences the sisters were close, so when Nica doesn't return home one night and is found dead the next

My immediate thoughts after reading Lili Anolik's Dark Rooms:1. Wait, that's it?2. Seriously, that's freaking IT?!!3. That's bullshit.4. Well, I guess that's one weekend I can never get back.I should have known. I was on a roll; I was reading some good, some not so good but entertaining books and then I read Dark Rooms and my streak came to a screeching halt. I knew within reading the first paragraph I wasn't going to like it but I kept trudging away. My instincts were right.Dark Rooms is a

Did you hate how clever and charming and well written Veronica Mars was?Did you find Bella Swan to be too nuanced and well-written a first person narrator?Is your favorite episode of Law and Order: SVU the Season 5, episode 15 "Families"? (this would be a spoiler)Do you love Mary Sue narrators?Then you will love this pop culture pastiche masquerading as a noir with no stakes and the weakest rape apology I've ever read in my life.
