Catherine, a lover of social media, unemployed and drifting is finally driven to get a job as a way of avoiding another unpleasant evening meeting with her Mum where she would be presented with her failure following items for discussion, and quite possibly, a list!The first of Catherines lists appeared when she was aged five:1.Make three new friends at school and ask them if theyd like to come over to play some time2.Write a story for me.3.Put your dirty clothes in the washing basket in theI've never read a book like this! At 1st I wanted to shove Catherine to get her moving. Then, as I'm a carer, I was horrified she took money to run an errand! Not allowed! Then o felt sad for her as very differently as her & her Mums story unfolded. As she delved deeper & the story unraveled of what Rose was trying to tell & show her & Natalie, I was desperate to read it faster. The people involved & what they were involved in. This was great story. so good to read.
The heroine who narrates most of the book is supposed to be 23, but she makes more sense if you read her as a teenager. In the end, this turned into a pretty queasy mix of jokey teenage angst and perverse sexual nastiness (which is more than borderline homophobic, too).
I loved this book and read it in a couple of hours in just one sitting.The Exit is an unusual story and very well written. It begins as a fairly straightforward easy read, but then develops into a brilliant sick and twisted plot, as the layers build up and more characters are introduced.I took an instant dislike to Catherine, who is incredibly immature at the beginning and, as described by Rose, is rather dull. However, my views gradually changed throughout the course of the book; her
The Exit is told from two different points of view. Most of it is narrated by Catherine, whom we first meet as a self-centred girl of 23, She's been forced by her control freak of a mother to take a job as a carer at a home for the elderly, some of whom have dementia. The other half of the story focuses on Rose, an 82-year-old. Rose's mind shifts back and forwards between the present and a tragic event that happened to her when she was ten, after she and her sister had been shifted out of London
Synopsis:Catherine is a hedonistic, shallow and self-centered woman in her early twenties that is encouraged by her mother to get a job as a carer for elderly people. Thinking of the money and the prospect of a trip to Costa Rica, she takes it. There, she meets Rose Price, a famous writer for children's books that suffers from dementia. Things at her new workplace "Dear Green" are however not as they might seem.We all know a girl like Catherine. We see them all over social media. We also know
Ive read and reviewed author Helen Fitzgerald before. I really enjoy the authors style and when I saw The Exit on NetGalley, I had to request it, and was delighted to be approved for it.Catherine is a self absorbed, fun loving girl in her early twenties. The only things that interest her are night-outs, parties and shopping, much to her super efficient, charity-running mothers despair. Catherine has run up a huge debit card debt and the only way out is to at least make a tiny bit of effort to
