I just noticed that one of the blurbs on the book jacket says "Fans of Margaret Atwood's Cat's Eye and The Robber Bride will find similar appeal here", proving that whoever wrote that has not read either of those books. I am going to find whoever wrote that review just so I can slap them in the face.

A character is talking about cupcakes she decorated: "Sprinkles and jimmies and faces made out of M&Ms. Trust me, those bad boys were seriously tricked out." SIGH. Ok, Bohjalian, two things. First, sprinkles and jimmies are the same thing. Second, no one who uses the word "jimmies" also uses the phrase "tricked out." Didn't Urban Dictionary tell you that when you looked up the phrase?

"A magician never reveals the secret behind an illusion. And notice I did not use the word trick." Gob Bluth? What are you doing here?

There is zero basis. As far as I can figure out, the only thing The Night Strangers has in common with those books is that it deals with childhood trauma and sisters. THAT'S IT.

All right, that lady just got added to my list of People Who Deserve a Stern Talking-To. And yes, rant-tastic review is imminent as soon as I can wrap my head around all the various ways this book has failed me.
