Book review: Two can keep a secret by Karen M. McManus

 I have waited so long for a chance to get my hands on this book as I have heard so many good reviews about it.  As soon as I heard about this book, I went to my library website to see if I could check it out, it turns out that about 7 other people had the same idea I did!  I was NOT going to wait about 7 weeks for that book so my original plan was to wait for the line out and request it when the book got a bit older, however, that was not needed because a friend happened to have a copy of Two can keep a secret and I borrowed it as soon as possible.  I am SO glad I read this book it is honestly one of the best mysteries I have ever read (along with Agatha Christie mysteries).  However, I am giving it a ⭐⭐⭐⭐out of 5 stars because the first few chapters were VERY slow let me tell you I was actually regretting getting this book but I powered through the lameness, and once you get to about chapter 5 things start to fall into place and get interesting (trust me!).  Another con about the book was that there were a lot of characters and sometimes I forgot who one person was and I had to go back and read once in a while.  But, enough cons let's get to the good parts of this book and why you SHOULD read it.  So, the main characters in this book are Ellery and Malcolm as both of them have their own sections and perspectives.  Ellery along with her twin brother Ezra is staying at her grandma's house because her mom whose name is Sadie is in a rehab facility.  Sadie's twin sister Sarah vanished at age 17 in the town Ellery is currently staying in and 5 years ago homecoming queen Lacey Kilduff was murdered.  Malcolm is the brother of Declan who was suspected to be the murderer of Lacey, so when another homecoming queen goes missing, Malcolm is put in the same spot as his older brother Declan was 5 years earlier.  This book was very suspenseful and it had a ton of action in it, it also had a twist ending (you won't believe who the murderer was!) but at the end, all the ropes tie together to leave one thrilling mystery story.   Thank you for reading this review and if you are looking into mystery books READ THIS BOOK.

My favorite aesthetic google fonts

  Are you a person like me who uses Google docs, Google slides, or Blogger a lot?  If so, you might be getting tired of the same old regular font so I made a list of my favorite cute and aesthetic Google fonts! Indie flower:  Indie flower is a font that gives me kind of handwriting cartoon aesthetic vibes and I like using this font for titles or subheadings. Coming soon:  Coming soon is a clear and easy-to-read but cute font.  I like using this font for printables as it is easy to read for kids. Short Stack:  This font is much like Coming soon but bolder and this font gives me fun and happy vibes.  A great font to use for writing a presentation or schedule. Shadows into light:  The font gives me handwritten letter vibes and it is just a nice classic rustic style font. Shadows into light 2: Shadows into light 2 is just the same style as shadows into light but bigger and bolder.  Amatic SC:  This font is very light and the letters are very...

Book review: One of us is lying by Karen M. McManus

  This book has been on my GoodReads "want to read" list for a while so it was both satisfying to finally get it off my list but it was also a very thrilling and twisting mystery novel.  In this book, each character has their own section which I found kind of neat to see each of the perspectives of the characters and how different their personalities and lives are.  I would recommend this book for young adults 13 and up as it does have some coarse language and some mature circumstances and scenes.  The main characters in the book are Bronwyn who is an intelligent girl who comes from a family of Yale graduates, Cooper who is an all-star baseball player, Addy who is known at Bayview high as being popular and beautiful, Nate who is already on Probation for dealing drugs, and Simon who is the creator of the gossip app About That.  The five of them end up in detention and by the end of detention, Simon is dead.  This book made me feel a lot of emotions at one po...
