Awesome Read. If you like the twists and turns that Freida McFadden uses in her book, you will love this read.

Part of a series, this was book 4. Light summer read

Steven Petrow and I know each other since were were in 2nd grade. We lived in the same neighborhood and our fathers coincidentally went to college together. I have a signed copy of "Stupid Things..." but had not read it yet so I read it this month. The library also had it on display very recently. Steven is an LGBTQ+ author who also wrote "The Complete Guide to Gay and Lesbian Manners." I'm actually cited in the book. The book was different than I thought it would be. I expected it to be more comedic but it was more serious, or maybe I felt it was having known his parents. He writes about them a lot in the book. It's definitely worth the read.

There was a lot I liked in this book but some of the potty humor and elder abuse that was glossed over really upset me. The ending definitely made it worth reading though

This book made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me think and it made me feel. What a beautiful, wonderful, amazing book. It is also a great choice for the 'book about art' space on the tic tac toe board!

I wanted to like this book. I actually got it at a previous library summer reading even as part of my parting gift. The premise was a little too into the fantasy camp for my taste. The novel is about a CSI photographer who can see ghosts, both in her family and of the victims she photographs. There is a lot of Native American lore, which is interesting, but unfortunately the reveals are anti climactic and do not live up the the "thrilling" part of being a thriller. More of a summer beach read.

Mallory Quinn, fresh out of rehab and recovery from a recent tragedy, has taken a job as a nanny for an affluent couple living in the upscale suburb of Spring Brook, New Jersey, when a series of strange events start to make her ( and her employer) question her own sanity. Teddy, the precocious and shy 5-year old she's charged with watching, seems to be haunted by a ghost who channels his body to draw pictures that are far too complex and well-formed for such a young child. At first these drawings are rather typical, but then the illustrations take a dark turn, showcasing the details of a gruesome murder.

This is an amazing book. I love her as a writer, but her books keep getting better and better. I can't wait to read her next one!

Julie and her twin sister Chloe are separated at a young age when their parents die. Chloe is adopted by an affluent family and becomes a glamorous social media influencer. Julie is adopted by her conniving aunt and stuck. After a brief reconnection, Julie receives a cryptic call from Chloe and travels to NYC to see her. At her apartment, Chloe is dead and Julie decides to steal her twin’s identity. Is the glamorous life of a famous influencer really what it’s cracked up to be? Read and find out.

This book was not for me. It wasn't as well written, and it was full of too many plot points. Plus, most of those plot points were entirely unnecessary. The story was full of sci-fi clichés. There were no characters worth rooting for or caring about, and anything they did wrong, led to zero consequences.
