3.5 rounded up. I enjoy books about summer camp because they bring back such fond memories for me! I liked the story and how quickly it moved, but the characters felt pretty surface level. The ending was super abrupt, everything happened in the last few pages. This was a super fast and light read.

Everything about this was so intense!! I was hooked from the very beginning, and absolutely could not put it down! The characters were so well written, and I loved how it alternated between multiple perspectives. There were so many nerve-wracking moments, and I was so intrigued to find out what happened next!!

This wasn't my favorite Riley Sager book, but definitely still good! A good camp themed thriller, with a shocking twist. I enjoyed it!

This was a pretty forgettable book, but an easy read. Nothing super shocking or thrilling about this one, and a little confusing at times.

4.5 rounded up. I really liked the characters in this! The main character's humor is so similar to mine, and I really felt her pain in losing a job and having to move home. I was really hooked on this one, I just didn't love the ending.

Made me sob at the end as always!! Such a sweet story of redemption and finding lost love.

The Spectacular features two timelines, a bit of mystery and a whole lot of 1950s glamour! ✨ I loved the characters, the story, and how well the author incorporated the desire for a woman to be her own person.

DID NOT FINISH

DNF at 217 pages. I couldn't get into this at all, the characters were all unlikeable and the plot was super dull. I wanted to like this so much because I love stories about social media and influencers!
