For Better or For Worse by Margot Hunt: opinion.

For Better and Worse
Natalie and Will are a middle-class couple of attorneys who have to endure one of the hardest tests as parents and at the same time deal with a crumbling marriage. Their beautiful boy has been abused by someone they trusted.

Even though the topic of child abuse makes me sick, I finished the book and I didn't regret it. You will feel enraged when you read it and you will want the worse to happen to those who committed that horrendous crime. Well, the way it ends (view spoiler) and may make you think what you would have done in the same circumstances.

I recommend this book to readers who believe that no crime should go unpunished.

An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen : opinion.

An Anonymous Girl
Set time aside to read this novel because it's really hard to put down. You'll probably start questioning the morality of the characters and then your own one. If you have a therapist, you may even begin to wonder how honest that person is. This book will definitely give you food for thought.

When I finished reading it, I realised that the character I had disliked at the beginning was the one I pitied at the end.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes reading.

Come Find Me by Megan Miranda: opinion.

Come Find Me
I wouldn't call this an entertaining book, it was certainly engaging but not fun to read. In fact, I found it quite blue.

Two teenagers whose lives have been shattered meet each other and are willing to believe they are receiving signals that will finally make everything make sense.

I guess I misread or misinterpreted what the book was about and was expecting some sci-fi or paranormal twist but I only found wishful thinking and real-life drama.

In spite of what I wrote before, I truly like the way Megan Miranda writes so I would recommend this novel to young adults and fans of the genre.

Two Can Keep A Secret by Karen M. McManus: opinion.

Two Can Keep a Secret
This is my second novel by Karen M. McManus and it won't be the last one. If you like YA mysteries with good character development, this book is for you.
The Corcoran twins Ellery and Ezra move with their grandmother and end up immersed in a mystery that goes back to the time their mother was at high school. Missing girls, murdered teenagers and secrets galore will keep you wondering whether the small town of Echo Ridge is as idyllic as it seems.

The novel is very entertaining and although I figured out who was to blame before it was revealed, there were still some surprises in the plot that made it worth reading.

I strongly recommend it to fans of YA mysteries.
