pickHave the feeling I‘ve read this before. 😊. Did we do it for bookclub @MrsMalaprop ? Finished last night after my big reading day. I knew the ending so I‘m thinking I have read it before. Would be a good holiday read. Teenagers girls and social media, parents and social media. Family dynamics.

About to start this for #AuDayReadathon
Excited to be heading to our local library today to see three Australian authors speak about crime writing 😍 It‘s a panel discussion so should be fascinating!

pickWendy James‘s psychological thriller is a sharply observed affair on bullies and their victims and I enjoyed both the way James highlights the difference between the life Beth constructs for herself on her blog compared with what‘s actually happening and the slow reveal of Charlotte‘s borderline psychopathy but I wasn‘t convinced by the twist ending (especially the set-up for it, which seemed a little undercooked).
so-soOh man, I'm glad I'm not a parent to teenagers, this was an interesting book, it didn't go quite in the direction I was expecting but it was still interesting. I didn't love some of the characters so gnat may have impacted the way I viewed the book. Bullying, the internet, stay home mum/working Mum... all important topics and it was well handled I just didn't love it
This is an interesting book so far, making me very uncomfortable, what is it about mean teenage girls? #aussieauthors #aww
pickCan bad children happen to good mothers?
Domestic thriller about bullying. Totally enthralling. Five stars. Read it.
panI really wanted to like this book - engaging writing style, fast pace, kept me turning the pages but... I felt tricked a little by the author. I thought I was reading a novel about the harmful impacts of teenage bullying and it somehow turned into a 'who done it'! I felt as though this completely glossed over the bullying issue with no real consequences for the perpetrator. Disappointed.
