![]() Jules is couch-surfing at a friend’s place after breaking up with her cheating dude-bro-lite boyfriend and losing her under-paying job. ![]() ![]() That’s all I’ll say about that because I don’t want to get into spoilers.Īs much as I liked the angle the plot ended up taking, I found the build-up to the meat of the story to be a bit slow, and probably because of this, the ending was anti-climatic. Now there’s a horror story, she says in Canadian. ![]() There are some elements included in the plot that are a bit misleading – is it a ghost story? Horror? Is there something satanic going on? But Sager takes that part of Rosemary’s Baby and flips it on its head to create commentary about U.S. Lock Every Door is Rosemary’s Baby meets the United States poverty gap and healthcare. And he’s built a writing career around paying homage to those favourite influences in the most satisfying way for me as a reader. He and I should obviously be best friends because we like all the same things. However, this third novel by Sager is just not as strong an offering as his previous two. ![]() Please don’t look at my less-than-enthused review as a reason to not read this book, because everything Sager writes is a book to read, imho. If I had never read Final Girls or The Last Time I Lied, would I be giving this a higher rating? Maybe. Filed Under: The entitlement of the rich. ![]()
