I had absolutely no idea what I was getting into with The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz, and honestly, that may be why I loved it. From page one, it felt like I was being pulled down this twisty, mysterious rabbit hole, and every time I thought I had a handle on things… nope. She kept throwing curveballs. So many things were happening at once that I couldn’t always see the connections, but I could feel that there was a bigger picture at work. And let me tell you—the payoff was worth every second of joyful confusion.
This book is a page-turner in the truest sense. I found myself reading way past bedtime because I just had to know how it all connected — and moments after I finished I handed it to my sister-in-law and basically watched her read it cover to cover.
The way she slowly pulls all the threads together… chef’s kiss. The climax… oh, the climax. I won’t spoil it, but picture a roller coaster and just when you think it’s over—BAM! The ending is sooo smart and satisfying.
Reading The Plot felt like a breath of fresh air. It’s clever, gripping, and just plain fun.
