Hello friends!
This week flew by. I wish weekends were much longer.
Here’s my reading highlight:
More Than You’ll Ever Know by Katie Gutierrez
3 stars
As a mystery and thriller book, it was disappointing. As a reader, it was clear from the beginning that the case wasn’t as it was portrayed, but that kept being emphasised without little suspense. Hence, once we learnt the truth, it felt very anti-climactic. I also had many questions about the feasibility of Lore’s double life. I don’t think she could have lived like that for so long without people around her getting suspicious.
However, the book had great commentary on the notions of truth, desire, and love.
Billy Summers by Stephen King
4 stars
My first Stephen King’s book. It was engaging. I found the plot format also interesting. It felt much more like a diary/a narrative with multiple storylines rather than a typical story with a beginning, a climax and an ending.
While I did think the book was unnecessarily long and had seemingly irrelevant incidents occur, I couldn’t help but think about the ending of the book a lot.
Glass Sword (Red Queen, #2) by Victoria Aveyard
3 stars
I’m not sure if it’s the narrator, but I didn’t like the self-righteousness from Mare. I’m not sure if this character trait was on purpose, but it was quite annoying. Let’s see how the rest of the series goes.
