A great take on the movie that I have loved for the longest time! I was not supposed to get sad over clothes but dang, Nancy Holder has a way with words that just tugged at my heartstrings! Overall, a well-written book, it adds so much to the characterization of the people in the story!

✨4/5✨

We start the story knowing Carson as a sort of self-absorbed person whose dreams, he felt, are a little too big for his small hometown of Clover. Written with wit and its own charm, Chris Colfer brings to life a story that was fun and imparts a valuable lesson.

✨5/5✨

Filled with heart and soul, this poetry book by our beloved Misha Collins is one to behold. The author takes a lot of joy into the mundane of life and makes us realize it as well. The book is beautiful in every sense of the word and I have thoroughly enjoyed the stories being told by the book. There may be some things I still can't tell you, but I will you that this book encapsulates love, joy, grief, and other things perfectly.

Was kind of wary about this book, but Keith DeCandido has done it again! The book adds so much into the characterization and the lore of the movies, and I'm really glad I read it.

3.0

I felt that there was great potential with the book. This was a short read, although it did take me quite some time to read it, so the characters felt a little packed in and the story felt a quite rushed. I expected a lot because the title and the premise were quite intriguing. The idea of a female serial killer is fascinating, and I do wish that it had been explored more in this book.

When I was reading this, I felt that there were some details that could have been omitted, and the replacement could have constituted of what goes on inside the heads of the characters in the book - what their motivations were, why they did what they did and what they felt during it all. It would have built more sympathy for the characters, and would make the read better in my opinion.

Some of the typos made the quite confusing, but overall it was a good book.
