A Good Idea | 
so-soFin is back in her hometown for the summer, nearly choking with anger over the disappearance and presumed death of her best friend, Betty. Especially since the town seems to have moved on. I felt like there was potential here, but there are too many things wrong with it to live up to that.
so-soThe thing that I found most frustrating about this one is that the first half really got me hooked but I had to really power through the second half. The ending felt really anti climatic for me. The reason it‘s getting a so-so instead of a pan is because there were some good elements in the first half. (Side note- I don‘t think it‘s a YA, most of the characters except one are over 18)
so-soWas a pretty good book but slow at some points. It took me longer to read this than I would've like but nevertheless I enjoyed it. Loved the ending. I'd rate this book four stars.
I call this a Good Idea. Chips, salsa, and a cold beer🍺 I needed to leave the hospital for a while. My brother is doing great! Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes!
Just got home from work and grocery store. Sitting my butt in my chair for a hot minute
My books and bookish things haul from today! (Gotta love a little profanity for Christmas.) I hope everyone‘s day was filled with books whether it was a holiday for you or not. And Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it. 🎄
so-soI found this story really good until the end. The ending just seemed to go on and on and on - to the point I was just wanting her to stop talking.
so-soFans of YA thrillers would probably like this better than I did, but it was not my cup of tea.
Fin lives part time with her mother in New York and part time with her dad in her small hometown. She returns home to find out what happened to her best friend, Betty, who is missing and presumed dead. Betty‘s boyfriend confessed to killing her, but his confession was thrown out and now everyone assumes that Betty simply ran away.
#CurrentlyReading this and now I know why there's a creepy ass bathtub in the woods (and no, they aren't filming a commercial for male sexual enhancement medication), and I'm worried what's coming next. I'm also worried that I find Finley's addiction to nicotine more troubling than all the binge drinking and pill popping she's doing. #edelweiss
Brought me back to my photo archive of 2012 where we also totally found a tub in the woods while hiking 😳😮
pick4⭐️ | Gritty, dark, realistic, and suspenseful, reading A Good Idea is a good idea! (Oh god someone take this thing away from me). The ending got a little off track for me for just a bit but I enjoyed the complexity of the situation and the characters!
Dark + Disturbing = Couldn't put down. Disregard intense game of Twister in background. Not such a good idea. Rules don't apply on snow days apparently.
In counterproductive news time for a relaxing Lush bath and a thriller!
#bookmail arrived and went straight to the top of my TBR pile (the tower next to my bed about to topple) bc I saw the word "creepy" when I scanned the pitch. ( @VikingBooks feb 28)
pickDefinitely not your average YA Thriller! Set during the 90s in Maine, this is an intriguing read about how far one friend will go when the other is missing. Very well-written, dark and an easy crossover for adults!
