there's just not very much to say about this book, honestly. it was pretty decent. it was a short, easy read and even though i thought that the premise of the story was absolutely ridiculous, it's also worth saying that i'm 22 years old, so i wouldn't be too worried about how people thought that i c...

I'm still processing how I feel about this book. It's a short one, less than 200 pages, and I can't decide if it needed to be much longer or much much shorter.

What's worse, everyone is saying that it wasn't an accident, that she killed herself. For the first time since she died, Paige has something to f...
While perusing Edelweiss one day the cover for Absent caught my eye and upon reading the blurb I was quick to put my request in. Am I ever happy that I did.
