I can report that @magiciansbook is right about the deep and abiding pleasures of Susan Choi's "Trust Exercise." What a book. slate.com/culture/2019/0…
Even though I'd read and really liked Choi's "My Education" I'm not sure I would've persisted with Trust Exercise without @magiciansbook skillful "spoiling." In fact, the review spoils nothing. It's useful context to for the opening half (or so) of the novel.
As is, the review helped me appreciate how brilliant Trust Exercise is. Like in My Education, Choi takes something we think we know and teases it apart before putting it back together with some of the original bits missing in a way that gives us a fresh look at the old thing.
