No rating on this one. I tried very hard because the synopsis sounded good but after listening to 10 chapters I threw in the towel. What doesn't work for me may be your favorite book so give it a go if it sounds like a book you will like.
Source: Netgalley Invited to Review. I'll be fair and say I'm not HONESTLY sure what to say about this one. It was sold to me as a psychological thriller but it was not that so much as one womans journey through a time of crisis - as THAT it was good for sure.I liked the writing, there is some won...
This is not your typical mystery. The reader is pretty much aware of who the murderer is from the get-go. What the reader doesn’t know is why it happened and how the murderer’s obvious emotional illness escaped his wife. Was he a genius or a psychopath? Did she not follow her own advice and choose h...

When I see that a book is categorized as a 'literary thriller', I always expect the 'thriller' aspect to be limited or non-existent. And while 'You Should Have Known' was not the James Patterson-type, 2-page-per-chapter speed read, it still had me up later than I wanted to be on more than one night...

Admissions.. Admission. Aren't there two sides to the word? And two opposing sides...It's what we let in, but it's also what we let out."The above quote sums up the plot of this story nicely. The story follows Portia Nathan as she struggles with the changes in her life and confronts her past. Porti...
I feel like this book should have been 150-200 pages shorter. Parts of this book were really interesting, but other parts really dragged. Portia is not an entirely likeable character - she's paralyzed by the smallest upsets in her life, so when some really huge life changes happen, she totally melts...
Not being a product of the American school system, I am nonetheless interested in the processes needed for sucessful entry into Ivy-league institutions.
