These two weeks have been a rollercoaster of emotions. I haven’t experienced this level of anxiety before. Gratefully, I’ve found that radical acceptance is the answer — and my stress levels have dropped significantly.

Trust by Hernan Diaz
4 stars

The ending of the book was brilliant and the highlight. It completely overturned all the assumptions we had about the characters.

Trust had an intriguing structure — the first part recounts the book Bonds, the second is the memoir My Life written in response to Bonds, and the final section explores the process of writing My Life.

I found the ending of Bonds to be heart wrenching, and I was taken by surprise when I learned more about the characters as the book progressed.
