so-soGrace Sebold is ten years into a life sentence for the murder of her boyfriend Julian when documentary filmmaker Sidney Ryan agrees to take a look at the case. This was okay…a bit repetitive and misused blood splatter, which I found sort of weird. Lots of red herrings and the ending was unexpected, but also not the most riveting book of its type I have read.
pickA plot filled with twists and turns that challenge preconceived notions about guilt and innocence. As the journalist Sydney Ryan digs deeper, the stakes escalate, making it a compelling read that probes the nature of belief and the media‘s role in shaping public perception. I think I just found my new favorite author. I couldn‘t wait to sit down and read and find out what happened next. Donlea kept me coming back for more!
so-soThis book was well on its way to being my first five star book of the year. Then the last couple chapters came along!
The story was engaging and the author painted a vivid picture. It was unnerving and scary to read and above all else it was unique. I have not read a story like it before which I appreciated.
The ending? Seriously did you almost miss a deadline and need to finish the book up quickly?
pickWhat a page turner! I was hooked right from the start. You think you know what‘s going on, then it gets turned on you as you hear a different version of something. Really well done. I wish it ended just slightly differently, it was a bit too abrupt at the end. But otherwise great.
pickIt only took me seven years to get around to reading this book but I am so glad I did. Lee Miller was better known for being a model and her associations with artists when she became the first American female war correspondent in 1944. This collection of her writings and photographs for Vogue from was compiled by her son who had no idea of his mother‘s war reporting until finding her papers well after her death. #24in2024
bailedI don't watch or listen to dramatized real crime shows. This book is about a real crime show, with entire chapters describing the setup and film directions of the show. I find it boring. Just not my thing.
so-soPretty decent. The story was really good but The documentary stuff kinda got long. But it was a good twist and turn book. The ending surprised me for sure. Was not at all what I was expecting when I picked up the book.
He had been committed, absorbed and unthinking. Intentionally, because the story was so good. So good he felt like he‘d been damaged by it, permanently.
@ElizaMarie I came across this on BookTube and thought u might like it. Again it is cult related!
