Seven Ways We Lie | Riley Redgate
Mehso-so

There are positives to Redgate's book, but the very premise of the story is ridiculous. If there is an anonymous report that a student and teacher are sexually involved, there isn't a school in this country that would have the principal announce it at an assembly, interrogate every student in the school, and announce the investigation's conclusions over the school's public address system. Sorry. That's absurd. Where was the editor here?

It should only take you a day to read this slim, disturbing, beautifully constructed "thriller." The last 50 pages are cray-cray. You WILL want to go back and reread some of the text, just to be sure you understand what happened. Just dive into this one. Creepy as hell!

Kept me reading well past my bedtime! Very enjoyable.

The Leaving | Tara Altebrando
Mehso-so

Like many mysteries, this one was good until the last 20-30 pages. Denouement wasted on a bland and faceless villain and a very silly ending. Lots of threads that made no sense to me. Not nearly as good as We Were Liars, which had me slack-jawed until the final page.

Columbine | Dave Cullen
Pickpick

Had to read this after reading the Klebold book. The discrepancies between the two are interesting but not meaningful in the big picture. No one could have prevented this, at least not consciously.
