I know the title sounds reminiscent of Pretty Little Liars, and I totally agree. It doesn’t help that Two Can Keep a Secret is a young adult novel, but I promise you, this mystery novel by Karen McManus is highly entertaining. Also, unlike the other two books I’ve reviewed from McManus, this one is totally unrelated to that world.

Book Review: One of Us is Next by Karen McManus
Lucky for me, Karen McManus is awesome, and published the sequel to One of Us is Lying back in January, so that means I just finished reading One of Us is Next! It was as entertaining as the first installment, and it makes me just want to read everything this woman puts out. The text is easy to read, and her characters are described in such a vivid way that I almost feel bonded to all of them.
Read moreMemorial Movie Weekend
I had a three and a half day weekend to cram in as many movies as I could, and I totally think I succeeded! It was a broad mix of genres (and languages), so I’m sure you’ll connect with something I saw.
Read moreBook Review: I’m Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid
I mean, straight off the bat the title, I’m Thinking of Ending Things, stood out to me, so it’s no surprise that I got my hands on Iain Reid’s debut novel. Again, title alone told me that this was going to be a thriller, and it definitely was!
Read moreSeason 4 Veronica Mars
Alright marshmallows! After almost an entire year, I finally buckled down to watch the fourth season of Veronica Mars, and I was not disappointed! I mean, I read a lot of spoilers when it first came out because I knew I wasn’t going to watch it right away and I saw an abundance of outrage across the internet. I get why everyone was upset, but truthfully, I wasn’t.
Read moreBook Review: One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus
I picked another young adult novel to follow up Fangirl, but this was a solid choice, I promise you. While I moved back a little age-wise, One of Us is Lying follows a rag-tag group of high-schoolers navigating through a thought-provoking thriller.
Read moreMega Movie Weekend
I guess I don’t mean “mega” as in blockbusters, I just mean I watched six movies in three days. That would be a mega achievement for almost anyone, myself included. I will say though, that most of these were pretty mediocre, but that’s just the way it is sometimes. I won’t bore you with the details, so here’s my fast-take below:
Read moreHannibal Season 2
I have just been devouring Hannibal episodes like it’s my job (it’s not) and I couldn’t be more happy with how the story is progressing! In a much shorter amount of time, I have finished the second season and I am fully anticipating the third and final season and what that will bring. Because a lot of stuff went down in this batch of thirteen episodes. SO. MUCH. BETRAYAL.
Read moreBook Review: Shirley by Susan Scarf Merrell
Did I just choose another book that got adapted into a film? You bet. Is it going to be creepy? It better be! Does it star Elisabeth Moss? Of course. I respect horror on film and in writing, and yes, I’ve read a few Shirley Jackson works in my time, but I was drawn to this fictional novel, Shirley, because it was a more subtle thriller delivered from the perspective of an outsider looking into the Hyman/Jackson home.
Read moreQuibi – The Stranger, Cont.
Okay, Quibi. I stand corrected. You did not totally disappoint me because I was fooled into thinking The Stranger was all but over after seven measly episodes, when in fact there were another six that aired! That’s right. Thirteen total episodes to tell the story. Where did we leave off?
