Ep. 42: On High Expectations and Self-Created Letdowns - "The Blue Hour"
from Pages and Afterwords · host Lili
I know I keep saying I'm not a mystery book kind of person, but here we are with another one... In this episode, I share my honest thoughts on The Blue Hour by Paula Hawkins. Having read The Girl on the Train and Into the Water, I went in with high expectations for a mind-blowing, spine-chilling twist. But to be completely honest, the ending left me feeling a little disappointed and unfinished. I dive into how our past reading experiences with an author can build up these "self-created letdowns", and what happens when an ending doesn't quite tie up the way we hoped. The previous episode is in Japanese so check it out if you haven't!
