Welcome to Litsy!

Engaging. Teenagers do stupid things and this an extreme example. You will enjoy the story and just when you think the story is at an end you will find out otherwise

Only starting on chapter 10 now…. Enjoying this book thus far… I like this author never disappoints!

Someone knows was a okay book. I did not see the ending coming. It was a quick suspenseful read.

I know I have read this. Every line feels like deja vu. But I can‘t remember it, nor do I have it marked as read anywhere. So, here on I go! :)

Twenty years ago, five friends were playing Russian roulette with a gun (why would anybody do this??) and as can be expected, things go horribly wrong. The surviving teenagers never speak of this day again.

Until today.

One of the former friends has committed suicide and the other three have returned for the funeral. Allie, being one of the survivors, has felt guilt and regret her whole life.

Will there ever be justice?

Solid ending.

Entering the first week of 2021 with the following books.

Love that I‘m starting with some solid novels and already have a nice head start thanks to the weekend!

Anyone read one of these?

This book was just ok for me. It took a long time explaining the “past” that was unnecessary to set the stage. Then it started to get interesting in the present and I was hooked. The end was over the top. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Holy moly this was good! And it had just the right amount of crazy thrown in. (I‘ve been listening to a lot of audio books so sorry these pics aren‘t gonna be very original 😜)

How do you live the rest of your life when you're full of guilt and shame but have to keep it a secret? You remain enslaved to it.
Partly creepy. partly sick. Completely compelling and full of twists. I had no idea what I was getting into when I started this but it kept me on the edge of my seat until the end! 5 stars! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Excellent read. Could not turn the pages fast enough. Loved how the story evolved with each character.

Everyone in my house went to bed early which gave me enough quiet reading time to finish off this book. I enjoyed the suspense and raced through the last 50 pages. I‘m still wide awake and trying to decide what to pick up next.

I tore through this book in a day and a half! It literally keeps you on the edge of your seat wanting more!

"Its not about denial, its about survival. Maybe you need to be in a little bit of denial to survive. We have to survive, and you know how we survive? By putting one foot in front of the other"

This was a great Mystery/Thriller! 4/18 #audiowalking #BFC #bfcr2 #bookfitnesschallenge @wanderinglynn @julesG @LibrarianJen @laurenslibrary @CocoReads @Reecaspieces @Moony @britt_brooke

I usually really enjoy this author‘s books. Full of suspense and twists. I also really enjoy the Philadelphia settings in her books since this is where I live! I liked the varying time lines and the characters. I definitely recommend this one!

Sooo good. Almost gave up on it but very glad I didn‘t!!!

It‘s been a long time since I‘ve read a Lisa Scottoline, but it was one of the 4 books our book club picked for summer reading, so here goes...

Our choices, our actions (and even lack thereof) can affect other people in ways we can't fathom. There are times when you can see the trajectory of your decisions and other times when you will never know what the multiple ramifications may be. But someone else may know. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ See my full review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2712595417?book_show_action=false&from_rev...

With spoiled unlikeable teens growing into the same as adults how far would one go to hide the truth..

Someone Knows is a reminder that teenage secrets never die. It's a lesson Allie Garvey is forced to deal with at a childhood friends funeral. She relives pain everyday after a horrifying accident 20yrs earlier shattered her/her friends lives when they played a stupid prank as teens. I found this unputdownable, really enjoyed it! 4 ☆

Past and current time lines as well as multiple POVs-this book was great on audio. Twenty years ago something horrible happens and the kids have kept it a secret and dealt with it in their own way. Now someone else is dead and buried secrets have a way of resurfacing. Highly recommend 4.5🌟

From the New York Times-bestselling author comes a pulse-pounding domestic thriller about a group of friends who have been bound for twenty years by a single secret—and will now be undone by it. Someone Knows is an emotional exploration of friendship and family, as well as a psychological exploration of guilt and memory.

This one did not do it for me too many multiple points of view with Rich spoiled kids. I really enjoy Lisa Scottoline but this one's a pass.

Tragedy scares us, hides us, more importantly it destroys. Especially when we think we're fine or we should be. Then twenty years pass (as in the book) and the only things that really change are your zip codes, friends, relationship status and time. And that tragedy you tried to forget didn't really evolve, it still haunts. I appreciated the set up of each characters family dynamics because it serviced that ending. And wow, I loved that ending😃

Started this one this morning ..!

“Barb told Sharon something that Kyle (her son) had said last week: Mom, it‘s different for me than for you. We moved to where you grew up, so you‘re home. I‘m not. You drive around knowing all the roads. I don‘t. You went back to your maiden name, but it‘s your name. Gallagher is not my name. It never was.
“Sharon winced. “So what did you say?”
“I said, ‘Honey, you‘re right and I‘m sorry it turned out this way.‘ ”

“Let me give you some advice.”
“Uh, okay.”
Scott looked Bill in the eye. “If you don‘t have a plan, you‘re not a businessman, you‘re a gambler.”

This gets off to a slow start because there are so many characters. Some are irrelevant. The first half of the book takes place while the main characters are 15. Lots of cliches here. The second half picks up 20 years later and moves along at a typical thriller clip, which is entertaining. Then it ends. Pretty decent. It ends again. Eh, okay. And again. And now it‘s just stupid. Not one of Scottoline‘s best.

Bestselling author #LisaScottoline describes #SomeoneKnows as “an exploration of a modern family, and of how the ties that bind are meant to nurture us, but may also warp us. It‘s also about justice, exploring themes of guilt and innocence. At its heart is this issue — not guilty doesn‘t always mean innocent.” It's a sophisticated, intricately-plotted, thought-provoking thriller. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

A gripping tale of a teenage secret that shattered the lives of five teenagers forever.

Quick chapters. Mostly figureoutable( is that a word? Is now) still ok. This was my 1st by her.

"She knew the others would be there. A reunion of co-conspirators. She hadn‘t spoken to them after what had happened. They‘d had no contact since. They‘d run away from each other and what they‘d done. They‘d thought getting caught was the worst that could happen. Allie had learned otherwise. Not getting caught was worse. . . . The cool kids believed their secret was going to stay safe forever, but they were wrong. It was time for forever to end."

What a nice surprise. Woo-hoo! #winner

I received this ARC from the publisher. This was my first Lisa Scottoline novel and I looked forward to it as I was always curious about her books. Unfortunately, this book fell flat for me. It is a novel about five teenagers and a tragic incident that occurs when they were in high school. I didn‘t care for any of the characters and the story felt unbelievable.

I‘m enjoying spending my lunch reading Lisa Scottoline‘s new novel releasing in April. I have only read a couple of chapters but the story has already drawn me in.
