Welcome to Litsy!

I wish I had read this debut mystery in one or two big chunks, but I was reading it during the last few days of school when things were chaotic. Nevertheless, this story of a recent HS grad who is trying to find out who murdered her sister is well-written and complex. It is not, despite the age of the narrator, YA.

I enjoyed this book. I couldn‘t believe all the secrets it was like mind blowing. I give it four stars

#reversereadathon wrap up! Vlogged it as well so I‘m about to edit that for my YouTube

Oy. This story had potential but was ruined by a "shocking plot twist" that isn't too original anymore and a completely underwhelming resolution, if you can even call it resolution. This was just a hot mess, but the book blurb "Megan Abbott meets Twin Peaks" is what intrigued me. Never judge a book by its blurb ?

Just finished this audiobook and I really enjoyed it! It‘s not a thriller per say but the story is strong and has plenty of twists to keep you interested ❤️

Some #SpringBreak reading

Suspense Audio I have mixed feelings about the book now that it's done. The tidy bow ending was annoying as was the overly generous portion of suspended disbelief. The content was in your face but didn't go anywhere. If you are going to include shock value, push over the whole table not just the envelope. I think The First Time She Drowned does a better job than Dark Rooms at evoking an emotional response. This ended up feeling forced and contrite

It was interesting enough to keep my attention through a long work day but the ending was a bit anticlimactic and disappointing.

Today's #labsoundtrack - according to the book description, it's supposed to be 'The Secret History meets Sharp Objects'.
