this is such a tragic, awful part of history. i just found the way the book was written to be a little dry and hard to follow

This was such a fun and entertaining thriller to read and kick off spooky season! I've only seen one Alfred Hitchcock movie but now I definitely want to watch more. I loved the unreliable narrators and that this story kept me guessing until the very end, I had no idea what was going to happen. Overall, it wasn't my favorite thriller I've ever read but it was good and very interesting!

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

This is my third book read by Janice Hallett and I just have to say I'm obsessed. I love the formatting of her books, it makes them so unique and interesting. The storytelling in The Examiner was top tier and kept me hooked until the end! I absolutely loved this book and I can't wait to read more from this author!

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC.

Wow this was so sad and inspiring and heartfelt and amazing. I loved every second of it. I don't have any sisters but through reading this, I could feel what it's like to have a love as strong as sisters do. I can't wait to read more from this author.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC.

it would have been 1 star but it was objectively a good book. i was just so bored and don't think it was meant for me lol

this was so bad

so freaking good. i love the connections back to the previous books. this was just such a sweet heartwarming love story and i can't wait to read more Abby Jimenez books

I really enjoyed The Golden Couple so I was so excited to read this book! It was super fast paced with short chapters, which I love. It also kept me really hooked all the way to the end. However, I felt like some of the events that happened towards the end were a little random and unrealistic. I did still really enjoy this book and will read more from Sarah Pekkanen in the future!

As a late 90's baby, I was so excited to read this book! And it did not disappoint. I felt like I was growing up with Amber, learning and making mistakes right along side her. I'm glad I was reading a digital copy on my phone because I legitimately could not put it down. I'm excited to read more from Isabel Banta!

I'm sobbing. This book was so beautiful and inspiring. I especially related to the young mother's POV and her story. For as long as this book is, it kept me hooked and wanting to just be constantly reading it. It also has short chapters which I love. I think the epilogue was one of my favorite parts. But overall, I just loved so many of the characters and felt so attached to them by the end, I didn't want it to be over.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!

I was so honored to be given a sneak preview of the first four chapters of this book! The House in the Cerulean Sea was one of my favorite reads from last year so I have been very excited to read book 2. I am just so in love with all the characters and their adorable-ness. It seems like book 2 is going to be just a cute and heart warming and I can't wait to read more!!

Thanks to NetGalley for sending me a sneak peek!

This is the second Freida McFadden book I've read and oh my gosh it will not be the last. It took me about 2 days to read this because I couldn't put it down. Almost every chapter ends on a cliff hanger that makes you want to keep reading. And the chapters are super short which I love. I guessed one of the twists, it felt a little predictable but I didn't guess the other ones at all and I was shocked. The subject is pretty icky though so definitely check trigger warnings. Overall, not the best thriller I've ever read but it was just such a fun read. I loved it!

This book was so much fun!! I loved the format of the book and the illustrations. The story was fast paced and spooky but not my favorite horror. I do want to read more Grady Hendrix books for sure.

this was a little slow and boring in some parts but overall a great book that a really enjoyed reading!

i think i would have loved this book at 14 but now it just feels so cheesy lol but cute concept

I will say this book had me coming back for more and I read through it pretty fast. But it was just so predictable and kinda cringey at times. Definitely not my favorite thriller

I was so excited about the idea of this book. But the first half was confusing and hard to get into. By halfway through it started getting interesting but the ending left so many things unanswered, which I hate. Cool concept but definitely not my favorite murder mystery.

this book was so good, and beautifully done. but i really need to start checking trigger warnings or learn how to dnf because this was so hard for me as a mother to read.

this was so good i'm obsessed, may be my favorite out of tjr's set

sobbing my eyes out. this was so beautiful

oh my gosh this was so good. it was scary and the twist at the end totally surprised me!! i also cried at the last chapter, i got so attached to the characters lol

this was my favorite book as a kid and i'm so glad i reread it. it's just as good as i remember

oh my goodness what a sweet, heartwarming book

this was so weird. i'm so confused. i think i loved it...?
