try not to look down on people who had to choose between death and disgrace.

What young brains lack in experience they sometimes make up for in idealism.

Roses are red, love; violets are blue. Birds in the heavens know I love you.

People had short memories. They needed to navigate the rubble, peel off the grubby ration coupons, and witness the Hunger Games to keep the war fresh in their minds. Forgetting could lead to complacency, and then they‘d all be back at square one.

She‘s like a Renaissance painting. Whisky has painted the colour back in her cheeks and brought a slight flush to the skin of her chest, which I can‘t stop looking at whenever her attention is elsewhere.

Jane Riley has managed to pen every single emotion of a man battling between the worlds of a lost love and the realization to live life to the fullest in the current world in the most beautiful manner possible.

Matt Bendoris manages to keep readers captivated with two/three plots running simultaneously, hence, readers will continuously try to unravel the mystery of the Twitter killer, till we hit the book about halfway, where anyone with a keen sense of Sherlock in them already knows who the killer is, and is just reading on to find out the motive, Also, the continuous confusion of plots and far too many characters, adds to a little boredom.

It was a great short read, even if it left some questions unanswered.
