I would read Rebecca Serle's grocery list. She is an instant buy author for me at this point ❤️

Perfect follow up to the first book. Hilarious, engaging and had me guessing all the way to the end.

Heres the thing, this book has so much potential. Great plot but poor planning. I lost interest so quickly with the jump from POV every single chapter. As I was getting into one story it would immediately change. This book could use some rearranging to make it a bit better.

This was for the corporate girlies. It was also giving Promising Young Woman at times as well.

If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer

dark emotional mysterious sad tense fast-paced

This book is insane. Full of contradictions and half truths. It is clear to me that either OJ really did kill Nicole and Ron or he didn't and wanted to cash in on their murders. Either way, it is disgusting that this book was written. So grateful the Goldman family for their hands on it and turned it into what it is.

The writing is A+ but the plot is a big fail. Nothing about this was intriguing to me. I'm too far removed from college life I guess.
