Welcome to Litsy!

If you've ever watched Fatal Attraction and wondered what Glenn Close's character might have been like as a teen girl, then half this book is most definitely for you as Gabe deals with his ex's obsession. The other half of the book is Elyse's story- a shy young teen attempting to keep her addict mother's life together all as she's falling for her teacher. I probably should have seen the end coming... but it took me way too long! 😆

This was very YA but SO quick to get through, I did pick what was happening right away, but it was still a great story.

How am I onto JULY reads?!?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A good read from Jennifer Donaldson I enjoyed the story and although it was a bit predictable it was a decent plot
🌟🌟🌟

An 11 year old gave me this book and said that I had to read it. If you have read the first chapter of this book, then you will understand why I was pretty disturbed. However, I persevered and kept reading and I'm glad I did. I did not predict the twist until the chapter before it was revealed.

Ohhhh, my heart. This was....wow. #liesyounevertoldme #jenniferdonaldson

Diving into this one and hoping the full moon vibes calm tf down and let me enjoy my day at work. 😂 #liesyounevertoldme #jenniferdonaldson

If you enjoy a disturbing, quick YA read, this one‘s for you. Donaldson is quick to unsettle, making clear something is off.

On the cover 4 characters are called out with their dubious qualities. They are Elyse, Gabe, Catherine, and Sasha, but all the chapters alternate POVs from Elyse (in Portland), to Gabe (in Texas). I spent 200 pages waiting for a clue to connect them. The last 1/3 of the book was unputdownable despite too much teenage drama.

Just finished this #yathriller as a #preview #rso #septrelease2018🇦🇺 I found it hard going, using a device with which I really struggle—mentally unhinged characters manipulating the MCs, leaving them helpless & powerless. So urgh. Didn‘t really enjoy it even though it does everything (else) right. Tight plot lines, rising tension and suspense, twists and reveals, and strong characterisation.

Another stack of Goodreads wins came my way! 🙂🙃🙂
Yay for #BookMail !!!

I need to plot out a schedule or something so I can TRY to get through all these recently acquired ARCs and those from NetGalley sometime soon.

(Realized you can‘t see the title/author of the one in front, it‘s the tagged book, a YA mystery.)

I devoured this in one sitting. A YA mystery-thriller featuring 4 teenagers and the secrets they are hiding. Elyse‘s father is not in the picture and her mom has a drug problem leaving Elyse to take care of everything. She gets cast as the lead in her high school play and gets the attention of someone unexpected. Gabe breaks up with his gf Sasha, who will do anything to get him back. Definitely did not expect that ending!

Comes out 5/29/18!

When your current read mentions your favorite comic series 😍 Love when books reference other books!!

I absolutely devoured this YA thriller about high school romances gone bad. I'm still reeling from the deliciously diabolical finale! No doubt, this will be one of my favorite reads of the year.
