I think the best way to describe The Last Thing He Told Me would be to compare it to a trainwreck. It started out fine and (somewhat) harmless but it slowly started to go off the tracks. The gist of the story is that Owen goes on the run after the company he works for […]
Bite-Sized Review: Despite having read the book and knowing the plot Sharp Objects still had me on the seat of my chair. It is a series I wish I could see again for the first time. It is dark, secretive, and has the creepiest, perfect pacing. Amy Adams and Eliza Scanlen play off each other […]

Impressions While Reading First, I thought Tatiana de Rosnay did a good job describing the backdrop of that time in history. She excelled in getting the point across of these horrid times. Through Julia, we get […]
