Welcome to Litsy!

An invitation to attend the 100th anniversary of the Swiss boarding school she attended sends Kersti down memory lane in this dual time novel about friendship and secrets. I really enjoyed it because it deftly manages a lot of things…and a mystery to boot.

4⭐️ I quite enjoyed the book; liked that I could read it at a fairly good pace and that the story was easy follow. #2021 #bookreview #bookstagram #fiction #mystery #canadian #Switzerland🇨🇭 #readingeurope2021

So a client of my mother's gave her these books to give to me. 🤗

Surprisingly, I don't own any them, maybe because they're not my usual genre. I've really only heard of The Finishing School. Anyone have thoughts on any of the others?

I really enjoyed this one! At first it was a little slow and I thought I knew what to expect but I was wrong. I kind of guessed who did it but there was a twist at the end I never saw coming! I really enjoyed this one, but I think an extra bonus was I was in a small town in Germany right on the Swiss border when I read it, which gave me a feel for the atmosphere :) if you get a chance I recommend you give it a try :) #bibliophile #suspense

Who has finished some books so far this month? I have finished three so far! ( all in the works prior to Febrauary!). #finishingFebruary

I loved this book! Gossip Girl meets Pretty Little Liars. Very suspenseful until the end.

"Beneath the flawless surface lies an ugly truth."

I have always had a soft spot for mysteries set in boarding schools so as soon as this one crossed my desk I decided to add it to my TBR pile. I'm glad that I did as it kept me guessing until the very end with its numerous twists and turns. A fun "guilty pleasure"-type read.

If you‘ve read this book, you know why I‘ve chosen it for today‘s challenge. There‘s a creepy person who did a creepy thing 👀

Spent the day downtown with a bestie, @DeAnneVB , visiting an #independentbookstore. #PrinceBooks was everything @Vbrrgirl said it would be! Such a fun day!!!!

A bit of a light month for me, but enjoyable nonetheless! The highlight was probably The Finishing School, and the low of the month was Hillbilly Elegy. (Still glad I read it, still think it's full of 💩).

A quick whodunit set partly in Toronto. #readathon @DeweysReadathon

I ended up really enjoying this book, despite the egregious typo I found in it! 😂. This is the kind of book I buy, intend to read, but never do, so I'm glad I made the time now. I was really engaged with the mystery, and did not see some of the twists coming!

I was bopping along, enjoying this book. I got really excited when they started discussing my favorite Scott Fitzgerald novel, then I turned the page and this happened. The main characters of Tender Is the Night are the Divers, not the Drivers. #copyedit

Picked up some reading for me and the husband on my Sam's Club trip! #bookhaul

#aprilbookshowers Drop everything and read this book! No seriously. Go read The Finishing School by @jogoodmanauthor 😄It's awesome!

Happy publication day to Joanna Goodman and THE FINISHING SCHOOL! While bits of the plot are a little outlandish, this dark and twisted tale will have you frantic to finish the last portions of the novel and put everything together! (Besides, Ellie the cat approves!) Full review at my blog: goo.gl/IpNAtR

It's still #litsypartyofone if one of the furs is with me, right? Because my lap is never empty. 😂

Swiss boarding school? Scandalous love affair? Secrets? and a mystery that goes unsolved for 20 years? Check, check, check and check! It keep me guessing. Chapters alternate between a then and now time frame. Perfect for between those deep and heavy kind of books.

Years after an accident (or suicide?) claims the life of a student at a Swiss boarding school for the rich and famous, her classmates still have questions. A reunion reopens theories of a coverup. Looks like good suspense from @HarperBooks
