All These Beautiful Strangers
All These Beautiful Strangers | Elizabeth Klehfoth
Charlie Calloway has a life most people would kill for - a tight-knit family, a loyal set of friends, and top grades a privileged boarding school. But Charlie's never been interested in what most people want. Like all Calloways, she's been taught that she's different, special - better. So when her school's super-exclusive secret society extends a mysterious invitation, Charlie's determination to get in is matched only by her conviction that she belongs there. But their secrets go deeper than she knows. Charlie finds herself thrust into the centre of a decades-old mystery - one that implicates her family in not one terrible crime, but two. Uncovering their past may destroy everything she knows - or give her the answer she's always craved: Who or what was behind her mother's disappearance ten years ago?

5/5 ⭐️
Reminded me of the movie “The Skulls” mixed with gossip girl/pretty little liars. Come on... they call themselves the A‘s..? Lol
Great book to read if you‘re looking for a little thriller, but a YA version.

Charlie doesnt know what happened to her mother. Did she really disappear from her life? Did her father have something to do with her disappearance? Not only is she dealing with that but she has been invited into the secret elite society the "A's" which she has to complete difficult challenges to be a part of the society. Filled with mystery and secrets this book is told in alternating years and characters.

Out for our daily walk and this sign cracked me up Started tagged audio today #BFC #bookfitnesschallenge @wanderinglynn

JanuarieTimewalker13 Perfect and true! They don‘t want to smell it, either. Quit and save your life and others‘. Second hand smoke kills. That‘s what my sign would say. Lol can you tell I despise cigarettes? 5y
wanderinglynn 😂 That‘s awesome! Any way to go! 🙌🏻 5y
imabusybee @JanuarieTimewalker13 I do too! I watched my mother die of lung cancer so I always say smokers are so selfish especially to their children 5y

Caterina Great sign! 😂 I know how addictive smoking is, so I have a lot of empathy for people who do smoke, but litterers get on my last nerve! Great job getting out there for a walk in the sunshine! 5y
SaturnDoo 🤣 great sign. I'm currently trying to quit smoking.I'm the first to admit it's a dirty,stinky habit. I understand and respect both smokers and non-smokers. 😞🙄🤔 I'm not a drinker, live with an alcoholic and feel the same way about drinking 😝as y'all do about smoking😝. 5y
guinsgirlreads 😂😂👏🏻 5y
alisiakae That sign is excellent! I love that our greenways and county parks are smoke-free, I can't stand walking/exercising and coming across secondhand smoke, it usually triggers my asthma. 5y
imabusybee @SaturnDoo that's awesome that you wanna quit I hope you great success. 5y
JanuarieTimewalker13 @SaturnDoo Exactly same sentiments as @imabusybee ! It robbed me of my aunt!! Stay strong! Do whatever you have to do! Don‘t worry about a few extra pounds. You‘ve got this, and if you slip up, try again. Never stop trying❤️ 5y
SaturnDoo @imabusybee @JanuarieTimewalker13 Thank you🤗 I'm trying...and it's really hard. I have grandchildren now and that's my motivation. Currently using the gum which helps a lot. The extra pounds has concerned me as I am already carrying a few extra 😂 I keep telling myself one thing at a time 5y
JanuarieTimewalker13 @SaturnDoo Exactly!! The gum sounds like a great idea bc it covers the nicotine and keeping the mouth busy! Your kids must be so excited!! I‘m sending you some positive vibes 💫😘 5y

I liked this book enough to stay up way too late last night to finish it. This reminded me of The Secret History, both in content and pace - elite prep school, secret society, not a tightly wound suspense novel but one that slowly reveals itself. Also similar - this book is full of characters that are hard to really like, but who are interesting. I actually liked this better (gasp heard from the cult of Secret History!!) #catsoflitsy #lucy #elvis

This book is not a puck but I can see how some would enjoy the story. I found the story itself long and drawn out. The revelations were not really shocking. There was no real suspense either. I was not a fan of the audio either.

Up next - I‘ve read some pretty great reviews surrounding this one.
Is a YA contemporary mystery/thriller with an elite boarding school setting, 17 year old mystery of a mother‘s disappearance. Reviewers say this is a cross between Pretty Little Liars, Gossip Girl and Cruel Intentions.
All sounds good to me!

4/5 ⭐ (full review on my blog)

A beautiful story about families, love, betrayal, the difference between the rich and poor, and a girl that tries to discover what happened to her missing mother, while discovering herself.

I really liked this one. An interesting structure for a YA book, the point of view shifting from the teenage girl in present time to both her mom's and dad's' povs in the years leading up to her mom's mysterious disappearance. Good main and subplot, plenty of suspense!

Really enjoyed this book! Really appreciated that there was more to this book than a secret society. There was real depth and nuance to the characters, especially Charlie and Grace. I really liked how it delved into the past and Charlie realizes her family history. Also love #playaway devices! They‘re the best!

The simplistic plot line is tough, the teenage musings are tough, the twist is tough. This book is tough. When I say “tough,” I mean poorly written, predictable, and too easy. The prose wasn‘t notable, the narrative was inconsistent, and the twists were predictable and cheap. I‘ll save it for my niece though. A 9 year old might find this scandalous.

I always thought that what people saw when they looked at a photo said more about them than what was actually in the shot.

BibliophileArtichoke Hmmm, I found this to be less than profound, personally. We do taint every perception with experience. Isn‘t that what keeps us alive? If we went into every situation as a blank slate then we would be vulnerable. What we see in a photo is a balance of fact and fiction, always. (edited) 6y
