Marketed towards people who love The Winner’s Trilogy, this made me really want to get my hands on this arc since I loved The Winner’s Trilogy. This book has pilots, kingdoms, espionage, and two well written characters that help drive this book and made me want to keep reading. I cannot wait for the sequel and see what happens after what went down in the ending. Thank you Netgalley, Tor Teen, and Joanna Hathaway for this arc!

Spectacle is a young adult murder mystery that takes place in 1800's Paris. Beautiful young women are being brutally murdered by a serial killer who believes the way he mutilates the bodies are a work of art. Nathalie writes a morgue column for a newspaper and when the first victim is brought to the morgue and displayed, Nathalie accidentally touches the pane of the viewing area and receives a vision of how the victim was murdered. She thinks it must have been a hallucination or some type of fluke. However, when the next victim is brought in, she touches the glass again and once again receives a vision of the woman being murdered from the murderers perspective. Why is she receiving these visions and how did she receive these powers? Do other have powers or is she just an anomaly? Could these visions help solve the mystery of who is murdering these young women?
The writing in this novel is fast paced and beautiful. It left me wanting more. The world building and character development was done well. The visions were really unique to this novel, which made me love it anymore. Now, what I really want to know is if there will be a sequel due to how Spectacle ended.

Sylvie is fourteen years old when her eighteen year old sister, Persephone disappears and is found three days strangled to death. Who murdered Persephone? Could it have been Ben, Persephone's boyfriend who she would sneak out at night to meet up with and who was the last one she was with on the night she disappeared? Or could it been someone else?
Sylvie lives with the guilt of the night that her sister went missing. Sylvie locked her sister out by locking the window so her sister would get caught by her mother for sneaking around with Ben, who their mother did not know Persephone was dating.
Sylvie's mother starts to turn to alcohol and becomes a non-existent mother following the disappearance and death of Persephone.
Sylvie gets out of the town, but on her thirtieth birthday, she gets a call from her Aunt Jill about how her mother has cancer. Sylvie comes back to help her mother who she does not want to be around.
While being in town, she runs into Ben who is now a nurse. This sends Sylvie into looking more into her sister's death and finds out many secrets that could possibly solved the cold case.

Only read pieces for my cultural psychology class and it was interesting.

What would you do if you received emails or texts from your best friend where her new relationship sounds amazing, but a little too perfect? Then, you start to receive more emails and texts when your friend marries the perfect man and starts to have problems with his daughter? Then, your best friend dies. What would you do?
In this case, Rebecca "Becky" decides to pursue Richard, Nicole's husband to see if Richard was anyway behind the death of Nicole due to the messages she has gotten.
I really enjoyed seeing POV's from Rebecca, Richard, Nicole, and Olivia to see their thoughts and how twisted some of these characters are.
The writing was really great to where I felt the frustrations of Nicole and feel some shock value when the big plot twist was revealed.
I did dock a star because in the first 50 to 100 pages, Nicole keeps referring to her ex-husband as a minsogynst over and over again. I did not mind she called them that, but with it being so repetitive, it bugged me a little because it was something as the audience that we already knew.

Sorry Not Sorry is about a woman named Charlotte who is frustrated with her love life. Her two flatmates, who is really good friends with are moving out into their own home and getting married, which means Charlotte needs to get two new flatmates. On top of that, she feels like she will forever be alone. She looks up about how to improve her love life and comes across a podcast called "Sorry Not Sorry." She completes the challenges in hope to find love while balancing her work life, her friendships, and trying navigate life with two strangers living in her home.
Sorry Not Sorry is a fun and refreshing contemporary that will leave you wanting to read more. I did find that there was some funny parts, however the book was not peppered with a lot of humorous parts. I enjoyed the character development of Charlotte and how everything effects her.
This was a fast and light read for me and definitely a palate cleanser since I recently read a ton of thriller books, so this was much needed.

I’m just going to DNF this for now and maybe one day I’ll listen to it as an audiobook. I only got 31 pages in and already dislike this novel. It has a lot of telling moments instead of seeing moments. And it is told in too many pov’s and ranges from all different perspectives, which is annoying.

I am DNFing this at 28%, I just cannot go on anymore reading this. I think it was a good idea for a plot, however it was poorly executed. The writing was weak as well as character development. There were things characters said that I don’t think most people will say. Also, it was slow moving and I just didn’t care.
