Read in 2016 » The Hating Game by Sally Thorne

     "The job is mine, Shortcake,” Joshua’s voice says.      To stop myself from standing up and punching him in the gut I’m counting one, two, three, four ...      “Funny, that’s what Helene just told me.” I watch his backside walk away in the glossed surface of my desk, and vow that Joshua Templeman is going to lose the most important game we’ve ever played.

Six of Crows // Leigh Bardugo Amazing, loved all of the characters and the plot had me sitting on the edge of my seat the entire time. 10/10 would heist again

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child // Jack Thorne & John Tiffany & JK Rowling Where do I even start with this. It has to be better if you see it as the play. Let’s just say it jumps the shark in the first act, and never makes it back down. I had flashbacks to My Immortal for that one sequence.

#BookReview: Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough #WtfThatEnding

About the Book

Only two can keep a secret if one of them is dead.

It’s said that the only people who really know what goes on in a marriage are the couple themselves. But what if even they don’t know the truth?

David and Adele seem like the ideal pair. He’s a successful psychiatrist, she is his picture-perfect wife who adores him. But why is he so controlling? And why is she keeping things…
