 “The things I want to remember I can't, and the things I try so hard to forget just keep coming.”

― Paula Hawkins, Into the Water

British novelist Paula Hawkins' 2017 thriller Into the Water is a page-turner. It is Hawkins' second thriller of a full length after The Girl on the Train's success. Despite the book's popularity, which included being a Sunday Times best seller and appearing in The New York Times Fiction Best Sellers of 2017, the reviews weren't as enthusiastic as they had been for her first thriller. The large cast of characters (the tale is told from the perspectives of 11 individuals) and vocal resemblance caused several commentators to become perplexed.

Synopsis from Goodreads...

A single mother turns up dead at the bottom of the river that runs through town. Earlier in the summer, a vulnerable teenage girl met the same fate. They are not the first women lost to these dark waters, but their deaths disturb the river and its history, dredging up secrets long submerged.

Left behind is a lonely fifteen-year-old girl. Parentless and friendless, she now finds herself in the care of her mother’s sister, a fearful stranger who has been dragged back to the place she deliberately ran from—a place to which she vowed she’d never return.

With the same propulsive writing and acute understanding of human instincts that captivated millions of readers around the world in her explosive debut thriller, The Girl on the Train, Paula Hawkins delivers an urgent, twisting, deeply satisfying read that hinges on the deceptiveness of emotion and memory, as well as the devastating ways that the past can reach a long arm into the present.

My reaction to the novel...

As a book reviewer, I wasn't thrilled with Paula Hawkins' first book, The Girl On The Train, which went on to become a No. 1 bestseller and a huge smash at the movie office. So when I went to a bookshop to buy some books to read and one of the sales ladies suggested this one, I hesitated because I didn't want to be let down, but in the end, I chose to buy this book.

I may tell that this story made me feel so uneasy that I got shivers all over. I like to read mystery/thriller books, so this one caught my attention. It undoubtedly captured my attention, and I occasionally feel anxious about reading it. Despite the fact that I've read several horror novels in the past, this one is unique. Since her first book, The Girl On The Train, read like a Gone Girl narrative, Into the Water differed from her earlier work in that it had a good conclusion.

The abundance of characters in this novel was its lone flaw. The huge cast of characters—while not as numerous as those in Charles Dickens' Bleak House—might be bewildering to readers. Since each character's voice is written in a similar story-telling or sounding manner, even I grew bewildered. Leaving that aside, the book's narrative will have you on the edge of your seat since it is unexpected. It did a great job with the mystery, and even though I figured out whodunit, it was still an exciting book to read. Everyone who appreciates reading mystery/thriller books should definitely consider reading it.

My Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐✨(3.5/5)

“Beware a calm surface—you never know what lies beneath.”

This adage is accurate. Still waters are frequently deep, they claimed. It also means that, on occasion, we should exercise caution around those who are solitary and reserved since we can't possibly know what goes through their minds. It can be too deep for us to comprehend or access. That is something I have heard from my elders.

“Grief, shock, it affects people in strange ways. I’ve seen people react to bad news with laughter, with seeming indifference, with anger, with fear.”

When faced with unpleasant news, each of us responds differently. Some people might believe that we must retaliate negatively when we get unpleasant news. But we can't know how other people think. Some people may have coping methods, which explains why they exhibit different emotions from us. Some people may already be accepting the news that may shock them or may still be in denial. Depending on what the individual has gone through, reactions may also vary. That is how the mind functions. It is intricate and bizarre, but also exceptional in many ways. 

 “Often, I feel overwhelmed by this sinking feeling in my heart that I will never be enough.”

― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Evidence of the Affair

Taylor Jenkins Reid's short tale explores the effects of an extramarital relationship. Evidence of the Affair was published in 2018 as an Amazon Original Story. A written correspondence between the wife and husband, whose spouses are having an affair with one another, starts in 1976. Evidence of the Affair examines the complicated nature of the heart through the letters of two consoling strangers and two secret lovers. 

Synopsis from Goodreads...

A desperate young woman in Southern California sits down to write a letter to a man she’s never met—a choice that will forever change both their lives.

My heart goes out to you, David. Even though I do not know you…

The correspondence between Carrie Allsop and David Mayer reveals, piece by piece, the painful details of a devastating affair between their spouses. With each commiserating scratch of the pen, they confess their fears and bare their souls. They share the bewilderment over how things went so wrong and come to wonder where to go from here.

My reaction to the novel...

This book is unquestionably quite brief. It just took me around 15 to 20 minutes to read it. It was really simple, but yet incredibly upsetting. This was something I had been meaning to read for a while. I haven't read anything by Taylor Jenkins Reid before, but it definitely won't be the last. The plot was engaging with realistic and multifaceted characters and the resolution that will shock any readers. It's incredible how the author tells the story, how we learn about various events from various perspectives, and how the plot develops through time.

Actually, I kind of knew what would happen, but the ending was so shocking and the story was so brief that I felt I needed to know more. What happens next to the main characters piques my curiosity. For me, that wasn't really enough. This novel has me completely engrossed. The characters haven't left my mind, and I'm eager to see more of them. It evokes every feeling and will undoubtedly transport you. Without giving away any twists in the story, I can't go into too much detail.

This book, in my opinion, really discusses love and how imperfect it sometimes is. Love may be confusing, ugly, and difficult to achieve on a daily basis. It can also be filled with forgiveness at times. Additionally, I feel this book does a pretty good job of highlighting how simple it is for individuals to criticize the relationships of others without showing any empathy to them.

Despite the fact that this story deals with some really delicate subjects, I truly enjoyed it. I was astonished, and I'll read whatever the author publishes in future. She certainly deserves to be listed as one of my favorite modern writers, and I believe she is doing some pretty original things with her work. Without a doubt, I'll suggest this short story to all readers. It is excellent and well worth your time to read.

My Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨(4.5/5)

“It seems as if you see me exactly as I wish to be seen. There is no greater gift than that.”

People seek affection and attention. Most of the time, people act with the expectation that the other person would do the same for them or will at least be aware of their nice deeds. They yearned for recognition and grandeur, therefore they are making every effort to live up to the expectations of the person or people they desire attention from.

“I guess I find it pretty easy to look like nothing is happening when everything has changed.”

Even when it hurts, it's simple to act foolish and reject what you have seen or learned. Because it is really difficult to accept that everything changes except for you and that you cannot go back to the pleasant and loving moments in your life.

 “Only one thing comforted him: he had finally learned what it was to love. And the feeling was deeper and more meaningful than anything he’d felt before. He felt like he was dying. To die, one must have first been alive. And the Beast could finally say that by finding love, he had lived.”

― Serena Valentino, The Beast Within: A Tale of Beauty's Prince

On July 22, 2014, a book called The Beast Within, which was based on the Beast from the Disney film Beauty and the Beast, was released. From the perspective of the cursed prince, who is changed from an adored and joyful prince into a reclusive and bitter monster in quest of true love, it provides a rendition of the traditional Beauty and the Beast fairy story. 

Synopsis from Goodreads...

A cursed prince sits alone in a secluded castle.

Few have seen him, but those who claim they have say his hair is wild and nails are sharp–like a beast’s! But how did this prince, once jovial and beloved by the people, come to be a reclusive and bitter monster? And is it possible that he can ever find true love and break the curse that has been placed upon him?

My reaction to the novel...

Beauty and the Beast is the fairy tale I love the best. It was absolutely wonderful for me, and it teaches a valuable lesson about love: no matter how you may seem, someone will embrace you for who you really are, and genuine love is able to perceive the beauty of your soul rather than your physical looks. That is why I cherished that fairy tale as a kid; it taught me to appreciate the beauty in everyone and not to judge people based on their appearance. We all possess beauty, and that beauty ought to be within.

When I first saw the Villains Bundle, I was perplexed as to why Beast was included. I was curious since I had never seen him previously as a villain. I thus had the notion when I began the first chapter that it would take place before the prince turned into a beast, and because my assumption turned out to be accurate, I became quite thrilled. I’m interested in learning more about the sort of prince he was and what caused him to transform into a beast. I am aware that his haughtiness was described in books and films, but such descriptions were quite cursory; this book provided a more in-depth account of who he actually was and what transpired of him.

I was really amazed at how Serena Valentino writes her novels. As a fairy tale lover, a story like this is quite shocking to me in many ways. I actually did not see it coming. I was amazed at how the twists and turns came out, just like the bond between Gaston and the Beast. It was really a good turn of events for me. I was also perplexed as to how those three witches performed their tricks and were included in this story. I think they are the most villainous of all the villains. They are so bad, I felt irritation and annoyance every time they were included in the scene, and that made it magical to me.

The beast’s past is really extensive, which is something I truly enjoyed and that all book fans should be aware of. I had no idea that before meeting Belle, he had been with two other women. Tulip’s fate and whether or not she appears in another villain narrative piqued my interest. Circe fascinates me as well. Actually, I am thinking a lot about her, if she is featured in subsequent villain novels. I can say that Valentino did a fantastic job since she keeps me thinking that way, which is a nice stress relief for me.

This book is amazing, and it has made me appreciate the Beauty and the Beast tale even more. It helped me comprehend the beast better, which made me want to see the movie again from a new perspective. I am really thrilled and would love to highly suggest this book to everyone. It will make you feel like a child again since you’ll imagine the fairy tales as though someone were reading and presenting the other side of the story.

My Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨(4.5/5)

“To die, one must first have been alive. And the Beast could finally say that by finding love, he had lived.”

 If you have learnt to love someone, life is meaningful. You will feel that love makes life great and that being in love makes you honorable and human. Even if the majority of us have encountered love, experiencing it completes us.

“It's about taking everything you thought was true and throwing it out the window. It's about embracing life's unpredictability, letting go of boundaries, and starting over”

― Sara Shepard, Unbelievable 

The fourth installment in the captivating Pretty Little Liars series by Sara Shepard is titled Unbelievable. The story was released on May 27, 2008. A novel that served as inspiration for the popular ABC Family television program Pretty Little Liars. Brimming with startling revelations and surprising twists.

Synopsis from Pretty Little Liars Fandom...

Four pretty little liars' charmed lives have turned into living nightmares.

Emily has been shipped of to Iowa to live with her ultraconservative cousins. Aria's boyfriend is behind bars-because of her. Spencer is afraid she was involved in Ali's murder. But Hanna's fate is much worse: She's clinging to life in the hospital because she knew too much.

If these girls don't start listening to me, Hanna's gonna look like the lucky one.

My reaction to the novel...

I recently completed reading Pretty Little Liars' fourth season, entitled Unbelievable. For me, it is absolutely unbelievable since it abruptly altered how I view Hannah, one of my favorite characters. I was incredibly stunned by the third book, therefore I was ecstatic to read this fourth one since I was so curious about Hannah's fate. And after reading this book, I'd want to declare that it's my least favorite.

Actually, I'm not sure how the author managed to make this series so compelling. I kept reading it nonstop. Because I believe the series has at least 10+ more novels, you'll be left wondering what will happen next and whether there is still more to the narrative. I'm not sure how the author managed to make this story both huge and fantastic at the same time. Even though I didn't enjoy this book as much as I did the other three, I still think it's astounding since so many unexpected things happened.

My sentiments for Hannah have gotten worse since reading this book. Throughout entire novel, she irked me. I really don't like the fact that she seems to have turned into a nasty bitch. Her acting like a diva in this situation bothers me. Moreover, I am upset at Emily's experience and the radical transformation of her family. Incredibly unbelievable, in fact. The closeness between Spencer and Melissa is the only thing I want to see develop in the subsequent volume. I want them to have a happy relationship as sisters. And now that "A" has already been identified in this narrative, I can't really predict or speculate as to what will occur next, which is what got me so thrilled.

I couldn't say much since I didn't want to give anything away to other readers who might not be still reading this, but I really wanted to urge everyone out there who hasn't read this book series to do so. It is quite simple to read, yet a lot of surprising things happen that will get you thinking a lot while you read it.

My Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐✨(3.5/5)

“Don't believe everything you hear”

This adage is accurate. The majority of the time, stories that were told by other people have been altered, thus before we believe something that we hear, we should see it for ourselves, or alternatively, we should gather adequate proof. We are unsure about its veracity. You can get into problems or perhaps start to have second thoughts about someone. If you quickly believe it, the following thing will make you regret it if you discover that it was false and you made a snap judgment on the person who was the subject of the rumor that was circulated by others.

 “I cannot live in fear of losing him, for fear of not living my life at all.”

― Serena Valentino, Fairest of All

Serena Valentino's novel Fairest of All: A Tale of the Wicked Queen, which is based on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and serves as a prequel to the movie, tells the tale of how The Queen came to be the villainous character she was in the movie, with the Magic Mirror having had a significant negative impact on her.  Anyone who has seen Walt Disney's Snow White will be aware of how wicked the Wicked Queen is. The Wicked Queen's life will be examined for the first time in order to determine just what makes her so evil.

Synopsis from Goodreads...

The tale of the young princess and her evil stepmother, the Wicked Queen, is widely known. Despite a few variations from telling to telling, the story remains the same—the Queen was jealous of the girl’s beauty, and this jealousy culminated in the Queen’s attempt on the sweet, naive girl’s life.

Another tale far less often spoken of is the one that explains what caused the Queen to become so contemptuously vile. Still, some have attempted to guess at the reason. Perhaps the Queen’s true nature was that of a wicked hag and her beautiful, regal appearance a disguise used to fool the King. Others claim that the Queen might have hated the girl for her resemblance to the King’s first wife. Mostly, the Queen is painted as a morally abhorrent woman who never loved another being during the course of her miserable life.

In fact, the theories about exactly what cause the Queen’s obsessive vanity and jealous rage are too numerous to catalog. This book recounts a version of the story that has remained untold until now. It is a tragic tale of love and loss, and it contains a bit of magic. It is a tale of the Wicked Queen.

My reaction to the novel...

My very favorite books are fairy tales. I recall seeing a classmate carrying this book of fairy tales when I was in first grade. Maybe it's when I started to enjoy reading because I requested my uncle to get me a book of fairy tales. He was happy and surprised that I asked for a book at the time rather than a toy, so he bought a big book of fairy tales that had all of the princess tales. So, three years ago, when I came across this book, my eyes lit up. I wanted to read this book more than anything. In actuality, it is a book full of tales about the evil ones from fairy tales.

Actually, I've had this collection of books for a while, but I couldn't bring them with me when I moved abroad for work, so I only started reading them all recently. When this one showed up, I started reading it with very high expectations.

Since I think that everyone has some good in them and that not all villains started out as monsters, I'd like to know the background behind every fairy tale's evil queens and characters. Thus, the story of the evil queen in Snow White is the subject of Serena Valentino's debut book about a fairy tale villain. There is a certain fascination to this one-day read. I was surprised at how quickly I read this book. This is a series for fans of Disney like myself who may have missed a few specifics but are familiar with the story. I learned a lot about the Queen's past, and it has unquestionably altered how I view her. The author creates a sympathetic and sincere character in this book. I realized that she is not the stereotypically evil stepmother loved in stories and beyond, but rather a person who battles very real feelings of melancholy and insecurity.

The writing was good, and I found it to move along quickly. The end of each chapter caught my curiosity and provided fantastic vivid images. Even though Snow White is one of my least favorite fairy tales, I was intrigued by this story of the evil queen. The accents and general layout were excellent. I also found the environment to be really vibrant. The characters were actually visible to me. I had the impression that I had been taken back in time to when I was a little child reading those fairy tales and first encountering the villains. I loved it so much. I started to picture myself there since my imagination was so vivid.

This slightly darker version was a beautiful twist for the adult me who still wanted to appreciate that fairy tale type of things, and as a consequence, I strongly recommend it to every child at heart out there. It will appeal to you in the same way that the Disney fairy tales did.

My Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐(4/5)

“The words wounded deeper than the bruises and the scars from any physical pain he inflicted on me. At least those wounds healed.”

For me, this is true. Physical pain is easily reversible. Certain therapies and drugs are available on the market to treat it, however words wound profoundly. There is no simple, easily available treatment for it. You will undoubtedly feel the agony for a very long time, especially if you are exposed to circumstances that will remind you of all the pain caused by words, especially if those words were delivered by the one you cherished the most.

George R.R. Martin is a novelist, screenwriter, television producer, and short-story writer from the United States. He wrote the epic fantasy novels A Song of Ice and Fire, which were transformed into the Emmy Award-winning HBO series Game of Thrones (2011–2019). He also contributed to the Wild Cards anthology series and the worldbuilding for the 2022 video game Elden Ring. Martin briefly returned to book writing in 1991. He was angry that his TV pilots and screenplays were not being produced, and that production constraints like as budgets and episode durations were pushing him to remove people and reduce fight sequences. Martin was forced back into creating novels, where he didn't have to worry about sacrificing his creativity.

The following are George R.R. Martin's most recent works, which were published in August 2022:

1. Joker Moon: A Wild Cards Novel

We follow Aarti, the Moon Maid, who can astrally project herself onto the moon's surface and paint projections throughout the lunarscape in George R. R. Martin's latest Wild Cards adventure. 

Theodorus is described as a dreamer in the narrative. He used to dream about flying, rockets, and the stars as a kid. His youthful aspirations were out of reach when the wild card virus infected him and turned him into a monster snail centaur weighing many tons, but a Witherspoon is not so simply vanquished. Theodorus reached adulthood and amassed wealth over the course of many years and decades yet his fantasy persisted. Instead of merely seeing the moon, he now noticed other stars in the night sky. He envisioned a joker country, a haven where the wild card's rejected offspring might establish themselves and be protected from hostility and destruction. A pipe dream, according to some. Afraid by the possibility, others mobilized all of their resources to fight back against him. Theodorus persevered, oblivious of the fact that the Moon was already populated. The Moon Maid also didn't want any company.

2. Full House (Wild Cards #30)

Full House collects the Wild Cards stories that have previously appeared on Tor.com in hardcover for the first time, featuring works from:

 “Before you enbark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.”

― Sara Shepard, Perfect

The #1 New York Times best-selling book series that served as the basis for the popular Pretty Little Liars television series on ABC Family and the forthcoming Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin on HBO! Four perfect-looking girls in Rosewood, Pennsylvania, aren't quite as flawless as they appear. This third novel in Sara Shepard's #1 New York Times bestselling Pretty Little Liars series introduces new twists to the suspenseful and magnetically intriguing world of Pretty Little Liars, where everyone has something to conceal and no secret remains hidden for long. It is ideal for readers of One of Us Is Lying, The Cousins, and A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.

Synopsis from Goodreads...

In Rosewood, Pennsylvania, four perfect- looking girls aren't nearly as perfect as they seem.

Aria can't resist her forbidden ex. Hanna is on the verge of losing her BFF. Emily is freaking out over a simple kiss. And Spencer can't keep her hands off anything that belongs to her sister.

Lucky me. I know these pretty little liars better than they know themselves. But it's hard keeping all of their secrets to myself. They better do as I say... or else!

My reaction to the novel...

I'm overjoyed to have finished reading Pretty Little Liars' third novel. Since I am replaying every scenario from the book in my thoughts, it feels as though I am part in their challenges and problems. Even though this book is geared for young adult readers, Sara Shepard truly astonished me with how she managed to make me appreciate it. It doesn't appear that way since the tale is really well-written despite the fact that she utilized straightforward language that made it simple to understand. I like how adept Sara Shepard is at enrapturing her readers and how persistently she manages to do so.

The torture techniques used by A just become better and better. The remaining secrets are revealed, generating friction not just amongst the sisters but also with their families and others close to them. You won't have any mental peace after reading this book since you'll believe that each chapter has something that every reader should know. Each chapter has a surprise. There are many sequences that are based on straightforward situations, and I adore them. It's like peeling an onion. It has many layers of skin, just as it has many levels of secrets.

I can say that Hana and Emily are two of my favorite characters in this novel. They are really simple-minded individuals who sincerely desire to forget the past. What happened to Hana left me in a state of astonishment. I halted and took a deep breath. Even though I anticipated what would happen to her, I still have a lot of questions that I can't discuss here since they include spoilers. I  In regard I really genuinely want justice for Hana's character and  I truly wanted to punish Mona. She makes a character that I absolutely dislike.

I can't wait to get my hands on the next book. The third book was equally fantastic as the previous two. However, I'm sure you already knew that. I'm going crazy because there is so much uncertainty. The identities of "A" and Ali's murderer are both so close to being revealed. There are several details and the series is skillfully written. Definitely worth suggesting, as it's pretty great.

My Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨(4.5/5)

“Life is hard already. Why make it harder?”

Life is really difficult, thus making things easy for ourselves is reasonable. We will not only live in turmoil if we make our lives miserable, but we will also experience misery that makes us believe that life is not worth living. In order to reduce the stress of our everyday life and to feel happy and satisfied, it is best to do and seek out activities that will accomplish just that. Because life is really difficult, but it is up to us to figure out how to deal with it. 

“It’s amazing what you don’t see, though. Even when it’s right in front of your eyes.”

Most of the time, we choose to ignore what is happening around us because we think it is a normal occurrence rather than because we are frightened to witness it. The specifics of our daily life are simply too familiar for us to envision and examine. Sometimes what we are looking for is right in front of us; all we need to do is open our eyes and see it clearly. 

“We don’t always love our friends every minute.”

It is important to value friendship. But just like any relationship, a friendship may also go through heartbreaks, arguments, and misunderstandings. We don't always get along with and comprehend our friends. You will undoubtedly have moments when you doubt your friendship and times when you misjudge one another, but it is in these moments that you can gauge how strongly your connection is bonded. It is not crucial that friends do not argue or misunderstand one another; what matters is how you handle the conflict and maintain your friendship. 

“And I’ve just got to let myself feel the pain, because if I don’t, if I keep numbing it, it’ll never really go away.”

― Paula Hawkins, The Girl on the Train 

British author Paula Hawkins' 2015 psychological thriller The Girl on the Train features three separate women's perspectives on relationship issues (induced by coercive/controlling males) and, for the main protagonist, drinking. On February 1, 2015, the book debuted at the top of The New York Times Fiction Best Sellers of 2015 list (print and e-book), where it remained for 13 weeks straight until April 2015. It once again ranked as the best-seller for two weeks in January 2016. In several reviews, the book was alluded to as "the next Gone Girl," a well-known psychological mystery written by Gillian Flynn in 2012 that featured similar themes and unreliable narrators.

The majority of critics' and viewers' reviews for The Girl on the Train were favorable. It broke sales records for adult hardback books in 2015 and stayed more than four months on the New York Times bestseller list after its publication. Even the most knowledgeable readers will be in for a shock as Hawkins progressively unravels the facts, exposing the terrible reality of love and obsession's unavoidable linkages to violence, according to Kirkus Reviews, which complimented the book with a starred rating. The book was subsequently recognized by Kirkus Reviews as one of the finest fiction novels of 2015. The book also took in the Mystery & Thriller category's 2015 Goodreads Choice Award. 

Synopsis from Goodreads...

Rachel catches the same commuter train every morning. She knows it will wait at the same signal each time, overlooking a row of back gardens. She’s even started to feel like she knows the people who live in one of the houses. “Jess and Jason,” she calls them. Their life—as she sees it—is perfect. If only Rachel could be that happy. And then she sees something shocking. It’s only a minute until the train moves on, but it’s enough. Now everything’s changed. Now Rachel has a chance to become a part of the lives she’s only watched from afar. Now they’ll see; she’s much more than just the girl on the train.

My reaction to the novel...

I absolutely adore the book "Gone Girl," so when this book was published years ago and was compared to the Gone Girl book, I was overjoyed and eager to read it—especially after hearing a ton of constructive reviews from both friends and critics. I was hoping that this would be another excellent psychological thriller. I was drawn into the plot as soon as I began reading the book. I kept flipping the pages because I had to know what had occurred. Unfortunately, I anticipated the novel's ending from the start, which seriously diminished my delight of the narrative.

The wording in this book is excellent and very simple to read. Although the pacing is normally fast-paced, there was a point in the middle of the book when I felt like the action slowed down a little. In retrospect, I can see that this is especially true of me. The majority of the novel was pointless because I knew the ending of the book from the beginning. When the author might have led me in a straight line, I had the impression that she instead led me in knots. The plot twists are pretty obvious. It's fairly simple to make assumptions about what is happening, and sure enough, around midway through the book, I was absolutely correct. It wasn't a surprise that the finale came to that.

Since I enjoy books written in the form of narration from several points of view, I purchased this book in the hopes that it would be comparable to my favorite book, Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. The Girl On The Train just drips tension so gently that it barely gets your toes moist; I was looking for something more along those lines with it. The way the tale developed wasn't really original or creative. Additionally, I didn't really see any character changes. I would anticipate the novel's few characters to be much more through this and for me to identify or get invested in at least one of them which the novel really failed to do so.

Because I was so disappointed by this book, I can only recommend that you read it at your own risk. This could be the book for you if you only prefer to read overrated novels over reading high-quality literature, enjoy mysteries with unusual characters, and don't mind a lot of internal monologue.

My Overall Rating: ⭐⭐(2/5)

"Women are still only really valued for two things—their looks and their role as mothers.”

Up until recently, women were often regarded and appreciated not for their moral character but rather for their physical characteristics and capacity for procreation. It is true that in certain nations, women who are unable to produce children are judged and given a lower human status. Your looks will also make you the target of jeers if it is unsightly. 

“There’s nothing so painful, so corrosive, as suspicion.”

Trust provides tranquility into one's life. Suspicions will surface if that trust is betrayed. Furthermore, that suspicion is agonizingly unpleasant and has the power to obliterate every connection that has been painstakingly constructed. Suspicion is never at ease. It merely reeks of uncertainty and nasty hints.

Higher education's mental health is the subject of a new book by Dr. Teresa Heinz Housel of the School of Communication, Journalism, and Marketing. This volume, according to Dr. Housel, draws on prior research in the incredibly understudied field of mental health in higher education.

 “The world had changed a great deal, but the little rules, contracts and customs had not, which meant the world hadn't actually changed at all.”

― Cho Nam-Joo, 82년생 김지영

Cho Nam-Joo wrote a book titled Kim Ji-young, Born 1982. Cho, a veteran TV scriptwriter, took two months to compose the novel because, in her opinion, the life of the main character Kim Ji-young isn't all that dissimilar from her. Because of this, she was able to write so rapidly without much planning. The book was published by Minumsa in October 2016, it has sold more than 1 million copies as of November 27, 2018, making it the first million-selling Korean book since 2009's Please Look After Mom by Shin Kyung-sook.

The main character, a housewife who later develops melancholy after becoming a stay-at-home mother, is the core of the narrative, which also emphasizes the title character's exposure to everyday sexism since she was a little girl.

Synopsis from Goodreads...

At home, she is an unfavoured sister to her princeling little brother.

 “There are all these perfect people here. And it's like if you're not one of them, then you're messed up. But I think, inside, the flawless-looking people are just messed up as we are.”

― Sara Shepard, Flawless

The second volume of Sara Shepard's Pretty Little Liars series is titled Flawless. HarperTeen released it on March 7, 2007. The ladies are still trying to identify the elusive A in this book, which picks up where Pretty Little Liars left off. More background information about Toby Cavanaugh, her stepsister Jenna, and "The Jenna Thing" is provided in Flawless. The girls discover additional details about what transpired that evening and sinister information that Ali withheld from them.

Synopsis from Goodreads...

In the exclusive town of Rosewood, Pennsylvania, where the sweetest smiles hide the darkest secrets, four pretty little liars--Spencer, Aria, Emily, and Hanna--have been very bad girls. . . .

Spencer stole her sister's boyfriend. Aria is brokenhearted over her English teacher. Emily likes her new friend Maya . . . as much more than a friend. And Hanna's obsession with looking flawless is literally making her sick. But the most horrible secret of all is something so scandalous it could destroy their perfect little lives.

And someone named "A" is threatening to do just that.

At first they thought A was Alison, their friend who vanished three years ago . . . but then Alison turned up dead. So could A be Melissa, Spencer's ultracompetitive sister? Or Maya, who wants Emily all to herself? What about Toby, the mysterious guy who left town right after Alison went missing?

One thing's for certain: A's got the dirt to bury them all alive, and with every crumpled note, wicked IM, and vindictive text message A sends, the girls get a little closer to losing it all. 

My reaction to the novel...

This book series was fantastic. I couldn't stop thinking about it. Every chapter seems to make me more interested. Although it is intended for younger adults, I found it to be so excellent that I did not feel like I was an adult already. This novel is chock full of teenage drama and all the fun stuff. Getting back into the mystery and suspense is done without missing a beat. Characters by Sara Shepard are realistically flawed and well-written. Even if these people have made some terrible choices, you still want to support them. I absolutely want them all to triumph over "A." But they undoubtedly need to address some of their own problems first.

Actually, I made a lot of assumptions while reading this novel, including who Toby is and what he has done in the past. Even though I truly did predict it properly, I was astonished when the author revealed it. There came a time in the novel when I was so engrossed that I began to fret about what might happen next. I'm really considering who "A" might be, and even though I've made a lot of speculations here, I'm still unsure of who "A" is. I'm genuinely curious.

The book was quite good to me. The speed barely sometimes slowed for a split second. But aside from that, the characters are growing in complexity as the chapters go on. The viewpoints of Aria, Emily, and Hanna are my favorites. Despite the fact that I adore all four of them, I simply cannot relate to Spencer. I just had the impression that she had a somewhat odd quality about her. I suppose it was her selfishness that led me to believe that everything that occurred to her  was what she deserved.

Reading the following book in this series is something I am really looking forward to, so hopefully it won't let me down. As of right now, I haven't seen the TV series since I don't want to ruin my reading because I am curious to see where the plot will go. For those who have not yet read it, I heartily suggest this book. This is a really simple and fascinating read.

My Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨(4.5/5)

“The sweetest smiles hold the darkest secrets...”

The majority of the time, those that smile at you the sweetly will be doing it out of need or with intentions. I don't want to imply that everyone who smiles at us has malicious intentions, but sometimes, especially with individuals we don't know well, we can't tell what's going through their heads. Giving someone our nicest smile may improve their mood, but if you don't constantly give them the smile regularly, they can start to suspect anything.

 “This is where it all begins. Everything starts here, today.”

― David Nicholls, One Day

David Nicholls' book One Day was released in 2009. Two main characters' lives are chronicled in each chapter for a period of 20 years on July 15, St. Swithin's Day. The book received largely favorable reviews and was selected the Galaxy Book of the Year for 2010. Nicholls turned his novel into a screenplay, and both a Netflix television series and a feature picture using that adaptation were published in August 2011.

It was revealed in November 2021 that Netflix will be turning the book into a television series. The writing team for the television show is led by Nicole Taylor and includes Anna Jordan, Vinay Patel, and Bijan Sheibani. Drama Republic, Universal International Studios, and Focus Features will produce the show. Leo Woodall and Ambika Mod are slated to play the key roles. 

Synopsis from Wikipedia...

Dexter and Emma spend the night together following their graduation from the University of Edinburgh, in 1988. They talk about how they will be once they are 40. While they do not become romantically involved completely, this is the beginning of their friendship. The novel visits their lives and their relationship on 15 July in successive years in each chapter, for 20 years.

My reaction to the novel...

Due to how slow-moving and boring the book was, it took me a while to finish it. I really like how Dexter and Emma's personalities differ from one another. I thought he was arrogant and impolite. I apologize for using such a strong word, but that is how I perceived him. I don't much like him for Emma. They wasted their time and a chance to connect. After 20 years apart, they only recently realized they were meant to be together.

I thought this book would be a sweet story of friendship, love, and relationships. And for the first third of the book, that is precisely how it seems to be. However, in view of the fact that the author is providing us a glimpse into their life for a year at a time, this is not surprising. After giving it some thought, I realized that it is truly a dreadful tale of yearning, loneliness, and perhaps a life wasted by not following your genuine passions.

The narrative does, in my opinion, have a slight resemblance to that of Love Rosie, but I prefer Love Rosie. It would be better if the slow and boring parts were removed from the story. It wasn't at all enjoyable to read. The ending was awful and depressing. They were unaware that they were meant to be together. What had happened to Emma had saddened me.

I'll sum up my evaluation of this book by saying that it's dismal, leaves out way too much, and probably makes you unhappy. If you like surprises and don't mind some twists and turns, this novel is undoubtedly something you'll really appreciate. Some of the events annoyed and disappointed me. If you enjoy reading stories with happy endings, I wouldn't recommend this.

My Overall Rating: ⭐⭐ (2/5)

“You can live your whole life not realizing that what you’re looking for is right in front of you.”

I was saddened by this quote. When we are looking for something, we occasionally fail to see that what we need is there in front of us. To clearly see it, all we need to do is open our eyes.

“When someone covets something they desire and lust over it.Usually it's something they can't have. You've always had that problem...”

― Sara Shepard, Pretty Little Liars 

Sara Shepard is the author of the Pretty Little Liars young adult book series. The series, which began with the first book of the same name published in 2006, centers on the lives of Spencer Hastings, Hanna Marin, Aria Montgomery, and Emily Fields.

Synopsis from Goodreads...

 Spencer covets her sister's boyfriend. Aria's fantasizing about her English teacher. Emily's crushing on the new girl at school. Hanna uses some ugly tricks to stay beautiful. But they've all kept an even bigger secret since their friend Alison vanished.

How do I know? Because I know everything about the bad girls they were, the naughty girls they are, and the dirty secrets they've kept. And guess what? I'm telling.

My reaction to the novel...

Let me start by saying that this novel astonished me. Young adult books occasionally include demeaning childish elements. The phrases are very straightforward, and it seems as though the author doesn't value the reader's knowledge enough to provide any level of complexity. But in this novel, it felt like high school without being overly simplistic. That is very appreciated.

Since I truly want to see the series, I've made the decision to read this novel first. To me, reading it before watching it is crucial. I don't know why I only came upon these novels, despite the fact that I am aware of how long this book series and its television adaptation have been running.

The plot is excellent; it is thrilling and captivating. I wasn't expecting to like this book as much as I did. I was very mistaken when I assumed it would be about whining, privileged teens dealing with high school drama. The plot seemed oddly compelling. The females are insane! I can't believe some of the things they did when they were so young. The tale revolves mostly around the secrets these females possess. Each chapter was written from the perspectives of Spencer, Aria, Hanna, or Emily, which I found to be wonderful. I adore each of them as a character.

Pretty Little Liars moved quickly in my head throughout the whole day. It was really difficult for me to put it down, and once I did, I pondered it throughout the remainder of the day. I was curious to learn what would happen next, and I'm ready to read it all through so I can watch the complete TV show. Since this book contains many serious subjects, I would only suggest it to adults and older adolescents. Although I think it is more of a remorseful novel, I really did love it! I'm eager to read the other books in the series.

My Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐(4/5)

“You know what they say about hope. It breeds eternal misery!”

Hope may create sorrow because we occasionally wish for things to happen to us that are impossible to happen, especially when we wish for them. Our hopes will be crushed. Our dream has been dashed, therefore we won't be able to deal right away. Though hope offers light to everybody, it may also serve as a catalyst for our descent into darkness.

“Having a sister is like having a best friend you can’t get rid of. You know whatever you do, they’ll still be there.”

 — Amy Li

According to the author, if you liked Lucinda Berry's The Perfect Child, My Lovely Wife, and The Girl on the Train, you'll like this heart-stopping psychological thriller from popular novelist Sheryl Browne.

Synopsis from Goodreads...

Claire is shocked when she receives a message out of the blue from Sophie, a beautiful young woman who tells Claire that she’s their father’s secret child. Having spent years nursing her sweet little daughter Ella through a life-threatening illness whilst dealing with the emotional fall-out of a devastating marriage breakdown, Claire feels tentatively excited to meet Sophie. Perhaps she might finally have someone in the family to lean on…

As Claire welcomes her sister into her life, she’s delighted to see just how much Ella loves her new Aunt Sophie. But as the pair spend more time together, Claire begins to wonder where exactly her perfect new sister came from and what kind of person she really is. With their elderly father’s mind rapidly deteriorating, is it possible that he’s hiding something from Claire about Sophie’s sudden appearance in their lives?

When Sophie suggests a family day at the seaside, little Ella is beyond excited. But as Claire takes an important phone call from her demanding ex-husband, leaving Sophie in charge of Ella, something unthinkable happens. And as Claire rushes into the ice-cold sea towards the small, limp figure of her daughter, she realises that Sophie was watching the whole time. But why would Sophie want to hurt Claire’s precious daughter? Was trusting her new sister with Ella the biggest mistake of Claire’s life?

My reaction to this novel...

After days of reading, I've finally finished this novel. I initially looked for this work online only to check for quotations, but I couldn't locate any. I couldn't highlight while reading since I couldn't find one that suited me, therefore I was disappointed. I looked for this and only got a few hits, and I believe the author changed the title because several pointed me to the book title, "The Family Secret." Therefore, it added to my dissatisfaction with this book.

Anyway, when it came to the story, I was tempted to put the book down. Though I enjoy family psychological thriller novels, this one bored me to tears. I had previously suspected who Anna and Sophie were, but it did lengthen the plot, much to my chagrin. I wasn't blown away by the plot because the author just revealed it around two chapters before the finish. It was so sluggish that I became annoyed to the extreme. The novel's whole array of characters irked me. I'm not sure whether that was the author's aim, but feeling that way about a book's story is not acceptable. It irritates me greatly.

I don't like how the narrative is told from many different perspectives, including that of the father, who is demented. Because it was so bizarre, it appeared as though the author didn't know what she was doing or how to organize her plot. I was very looking forward to it, especially if the book lived up to the author's claim that it was similar to "The Perfect Child" by Lucinda Berry. This narrative was significantly different from "The Perfect Child," in fact, it was miles away from it, so I really want to disagree with that.

It was a wonder that I chose to continue this narrative because I truly did not enjoy it. It was incredibly difficult to read, and it was terrible that I couldn't find any quotations to share or highlight with. I don't suggest this to anyone, especially if you're seeking for a nice narrative. To start with, this is a bad story. Even simply reading it will leave you exhausted and disinterested since it was so boring.

My Overall Rating: ⭐(1/5)

 “It gave us an opportunity to miss each other, and sometimes you needed that in a relationship even when you loved each other as much as we did.”

― Lucinda Berry, The Perfect Child

A suspenseful first novel about a young couple anxious to have their own child—and the disturbing implications of finally attaining what they've always desired.

Synopsis from Goodreads...

Christopher and Hannah are a happily married surgeon and nurse with picture-perfect lives. All that’s missing is a child. When Janie, an abandoned six-year-old, turns up at their hospital, Christopher forms an instant connection with her, and he convinces Hannah they should take her home as their own.

But Janie is no ordinary child, and her damaged psyche proves to be more than her new parents were expecting. Janie is fiercely devoted to Christopher, but she acts out in increasingly disturbing ways, directing all her rage at Hannah. Unable to bond with Janie, Hannah is drowning under the pressure, and Christopher refuses to see Janie’s true nature.

Hannah knows that Janie is manipulating Christopher and isolating him from her, despite Hannah’s attempts to bring them all together. But as Janie’s behavior threatens to tear Christopher and Hannah apart, the truth behind Janie’s past may be enough to push them all over the edge. 

My reaction to the novel...

This book has only been in my possession for two days. I can't put it down to read it, not even on a busy day. I yearned to read more because it was so engrossing. Given her age and circumstances, I could understand Hannah, the main character, desiring to have her own child as a woman. So when they decided to adopt Janie, I immediately understood how thrilled and afraid she was. I was mistaken at the end, but even if the plot is the same as in the movie "The Orphan," I had the same level of excitement while watching it. My mind runs wild whenever I read a book, so I had the impression that the story in this book had actually happened.

Without a sure, this is among the craziest, most intense, most frightening books I've ever read. It was something I didn't want to end. It's tough to stop reading once you get going. It's a book I find myself unable to put down. I was immediately drawn in and couldn't look away. I found the characters to be very believable, especially Hannah. I could relate to practically all of her feelings, worries, and other characteristics.

Having said that, there were occasions when I felt let down and incensed, especially with Christopher. His actions and conclusions were questionable and unfair, even under the greatest possible conditions, as if he weren't a doctor. What he did was so out of character for him as a doctor and as a husband that I actually wanted to hit him to get him to come to his senses.  I found myself constantly commenting on each chapter of his point of view as a result of my annoyance. Every part where he is the one speaking was so difficult for me to read because I just wanted to scream and say how foolish he is.

I also liked that Lucinda Berry, the author, is a psychologist who specializes in child trauma, which I think is why she was able to write such an amazing story. Although I have only read one of her books, I am eager to read the rest since she has rapidly grown to be one of my favorite writers of psychological thrillers. Her use of a cliffhanger to leave readers wondering what will happen next and whether a sequel would be published was another aspect I found appealing. However, I feel that it works better as a stand-alone book, despite the possibility that readers would wonder what happened to the major characters and their reactions after discovering the truth about their adopted kid, Janie.

This book may be difficult to read for anyone who are not interested in stories involving abuse and murder because it is replete with them, despite the fact that I enjoyed reading it because I enjoy suspense, psychological mysteries, and thrillers. This book will be a nightmare for you if you don't enjoy that sort of thing. I can't recommend it to everyone since the story is too powerful for the weak of heart. You'll have a general sense of what happened and what will happen because I knew the back story before I finished it, but I was still surprised. I genuinely adore it. The story stuck in my thoughts for days.

My Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐(5/5)

“I wished I lived in a world where I didn’t know violence intimately, but I’d seen more than my fair share, given the work I did.”

It's rather irritating that there is a lot of domestic abuse out there. It was really difficult to consider how many children there are who are victims of abuse, and despite our best efforts to set things right for those who are victims, we are unable to change what has already happened. We can only work to improve their present and future for them. 

“Why did the universe allow people who hurt kids to have them? Why couldn’t it give them to people like me, who wanted them?”

There are many couples who are experiencing difficulty conceiving a kid, while some just do not wish to have them. This truly did happen. Perhaps giving those kids to the people who are praying for them would be preferable. They could have a better future in store for them. There's a chance that the abuse will end and more children will have a smile on their faces.
