This book is about Victor Vale, and his… relationship with Eli Cardale. Eli and Victor are friends in college until a thesis that Eli writes of ExtraOrdinary people and things start to go down hill. This thrilling novel with switching pov’s and time is very enjoyable and I absolutely loved it.

This was such a horrible book I felt like I was in 306 pages of prison. I hate it, don’t recommend.

Catherine House is an average book. I liked it pretty much but it just felt kind of empty and lacking. I read the summary and no, I'm not over the whole boarding school setting so I thought this would be great and it was,... ok.

If We Were Villains by M.L Rio is an excellent book. The book itself is told as a story of the past through the eyes of Oliver Marks. Oliver, who is released from jail after 10 years is enquired by the detective who put him there in the  first place about what actually happened ten years ago, in 1998. The detective - Colborne, knows that Oliver is half-innocent and wants to now the truth, promising Oliver that it would not effect the case is any way.

Overall, the characters were wonderful and very lovable, except for one of them but that's a different scenario.

One of us is lying, is a book I read because of Booktok. Personally, I do not vibe with any of the popular booktok books and so, I was let down with this, again. This is a basic, predictable murder mystery story and the main characters were all so shallow.
