SHE WAS THE QUIET ONE BY MICHELE CAMPBELL BOOK REVIEW
Cruel Intentions with a Gossip Girl Twist – THAT is this book.
WHERE IS CHUCK BASS?
First, let me just say these kids are awful. They lie, cheat, play terrible pranks on each other & I didn’t like a single one of them. Did that stop me from enjoying She Was The Quiet One? Absolutely not.
I usually need to have a character to root for or at least someone to root against. You know what I’m talking about, right? I don’t need to love everyone, but I need to feel something for at least one of the main characters. That’s what keeps my interest in the story. I need a Chuck Bass. A character so despicable, yet lovable you can’t help but root for them. While I didn’t find a Chuck Bass type at The Odell School, I did enjoy this book.
TEENAGE MURDER MYSTERY AT A BOARDING SCHOOL
Okay, twin sisters roll into this prestigious school & boom – there’s trouble. Quickly, they turn against each other. Then there are the teachers, equally awful human beings. This teacher, Heath, is a hot mess & I can only feel for his wife Sarah who is stuck with his sorry ass.
Someone is murdered & all hell breaks loose. Secrets & lies are exposed, lawyers & lawsuits are involved & someone has to pay for this murder.
THE VERDICT
I am Into This book. It’s a quick read & great for the beach. Last year I read Michele’s debut novel, It’s Always The Husband & I will say I like She Was The Quiet One a bit more. It’s wild, scandalous & satisfying.
