Five Total Strangers
this book. oh my god. I loved everything about it and I CANNOT wait for the Netflix series, but I’m scared because I love this story so much. The characters, the dynamics between them, and the setting tied this into a beautiful yet heartbreaking nove...
The God of the Woods: A Novel
This one got mixed reviews but I actually loved it. It’s extremely creepy and unsettling, and I found myself thinking about it for days after. This would make a fantastic movie if it’s done right. I recommend this to anyone into horror!!
We Used to Live Here: A Novel
I always love a book that can provide me with a new perspective, and the goal of this book is exactly that. highly recommend to anyone and everyone.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
this is a bit of a heavier read, so be aware. I was moved by this story at multiple points, and the writing is truly magnificent.
Idaho: A Novel
I absolutely loved this novel. If you have a sister, value female friendships like family, or just enjoy stories about family and the dynamics that sisters face, you absolutely NEED to pick this up.
Blue Sisters: A Novel
This one started out a little slow for me, but the ending payoff was worth it. If you’re a fan of thrillers or psychological mysteries, this is definitely for you!
Wrong Place Wrong Time: A Novel
My best friend gave me this, and at first I was apprehensive. I didn’t know much about Lena and wasn’t sure if I was a fan. After reading this, I have a newfound appreciation for her and her career. Definitely a good read if you’re into entertainment...
Famesick: A Memoir
A classic thriller that’s very highly regarded - it started off slow for me, not gonna lie. I see why so many people love this but for me it was just okay. It was cool that this took place close to where I live so I recognized the locations lol
