In Nightfall by Suzanne Young
3.5
a fun time but it’s also exactly what you think of when someone pitches it as a genderbent the lost boys.
The Watchers by A.M. Shine
3.0
fun and eerie for the second half.
i struggled through the first third and for me it was hard to connect with these characters. Their dynamics weren’t super compelling through most of the book.
i can’t help but feel like the detailed writing hindered the story in places.
mostly didn’t dnf this in the first third because i want to see the movie adaptation coming out soon….

i don’t have a lot to say that other reviews haven’t already said but i really enjoyed this.
it clearly had a lot say about how people engage with true crime and i really liked all the conversations it prompted throughout.
really genuine writing about the internet culture explored in this book.
the characterization and really the exploration of these characters as a whole kept me in it all the way through.

The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides
3.5
i can’t give this book any higher of a rating just because it was so hard to get through.
i understand why the book is written from the perspective that it is and all that it has to say about the boys and how they view the girls and their situation and i appreciate what its doing but i just don’t think it was for me.

We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson
