Ethan: (glancing over) Oh, The Night Wanderer? Interesting choice.

Olivia: You’ve read it?

Ethan: Yep. Didn’t love it, to be honest. The plot was a bit slow for me.

Olivia: (gasps) No way! I’ve heard nothing but great things about it.

Ethan: Don’t get me wrong—it has beautiful writing. But I just wish something happened sooner in the story.

Olivia: Hmm… I don’t mind slow-paced books if the characters are well developed.

Ethan: Fair point. Maybe I just have no patience.

Olivia: (laughs) So, what’s your kind of book? Let me guess… thrillers?

Ethan: Bingo! I love books that keep me on the edge of my seat.

Olivia: Figures. Thriller fans always want action on every page.

Ethan: And literary fiction fans always say, “It’s about the journey, not the destination.”

Olivia: (smirks) Because it is! Not everything has to be a rollercoaster.

Ethan: (laughs) We might have very different reading tastes, Olivia.

Olivia: (raising an eyebrow) How do you know my name?

Ethan: Oh, it’s on your coffee cup.

Olivia: (looks down) Oh, right! That’s not creepy at all.

Ethan: (grins) Totally normal bookstore behavior. I’m Ethan, by the way.

Olivia: Nice to meet you, Ethan. So, since you clearly have opinions, recommend me a book.

Ethan: Alright. If you’re willing to step out of your comfort zone, try The Silent Patient. It has one of the best twists I’ve ever read.

Olivia: Hmm… I do love a good twist. Fine, I’ll read it—if you read The Night Wanderer again with an open mind.

Ethan: (laughs) Deal. Let’s compare notes next time we meet.

Olivia: Next time? You’re very confident.

Ethan: Hey, we both hang out at bookstores. I have a feeling we’ll run into each other again.

Olivia: You might be right. Alright, Ethan—see you next time.

Ethan: See you, Olivia. Enjoy the slow burn!

Olivia: And you, enjoy the thrill ride.
