It's great to see a good power dynamic as well as gender relations, which makes "Femme Fatale" a symbol of fear. I really enjoyed reading this because it truly captured the inner fatalism in me. This book is not just about something that involves manipulation or villainous acts. To me, this book gives a profound symbol of the dangerous aspect of beauty and desire.

The double helix structure of “Gone Girl” — in which husband and wife Nick and Amy Dunne narrate twisting and turning stories that obsessively dramatize and undermine the details of Amy's disappearance on the couple's fifth wedding anniversary — has become canonized into a distinct domestic suspense form of its own. Cool girl. Become one.

In this eye-opening memoir, Lisa Crystal Carver recalls her extraordinary youth and charts the late-80s, early-90s punk subculture that she helped shape. She recounts how her band Suckdog was born in 1987 and the wild events that leaving small-town New Hampshire to tour Europe at 18, becoming a teen publisher of fanzines, a teen bride, and a teen prostitute. Spin has called Suckdog's album Drugs Are Nice one of the best of the '90s, and the book includes photos of infamous European shows. Yet the book also tells of how Lisa saw the need for change in 1994, when her baby was born with a chromosomal deletion and his father became violent. With lasting lightness and surprising gravity, Drugs Are Nice is a definitive account of the generation that wanted to break every rule, but also a story of an artist and a mother becoming an adult on her own terms.
