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.

The Couple by Sarah Mitchell: review

The Couple
Surprising until the very last page. The Couple has a gripping plot that will captivate mystery and romance lovers. You just don't know what's going on. There were pages I had to read twice because I couldn't believe my eyes.

The main character Claire is an immigration lawyer with a dark past whose job makes the story even more interesting. In spite of being engaged, she isn't besotted by her fiance Angus, a serious hotel owner, so they are a bit far from being the perfect couple. They buy a house from an attractive man and Claire's life changes in unexpected ways.

The book is full of twists an turns and even if it is fast-paced you should read it slowly or you may not be able to understand how complex the story is.

I would like to thank NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
