What a disappointment
I was so looking forward to watching this, although reading poor reviews I still had high hopes. I was very disappointed, it was a slow burner, but a slow burner without much substance. I didn't feel connected to the characters or really care about what happened. I was so disappointed because the book was really good.

I won this book from a Goodreads Giveaway and I ended up really liking it, I don't usually go for the detective-murder mysteries but this was a good read. I like the idea that it happens to also be a series, not sure if I'll continue to read about this detective but I liked this book.

She isn't fine really
I didn't't know what to expect with this book, I just got it because everyone loved it. I expected a cute love story but it wasn't. Its about a girl with attachment issues due yo abuse and neglect. Its a while since I read it but i just remember it was very good.

I thought Wow, when I finished it and now I'm still processing it all. One thing I didn't like was some of the language, but other than that I liked it quite a bit - it was a bit more heavy reading than I've done in a little while.

I think I was emotionally stumped in relation to this book. I felt nothing at all. In fact that's a slight lie, the last two or three pages were quite emotional. I think this is something I'd prefer to watch as a film than to read as a book.

At first, I thought I might have made a mistake in requesting to read this book. However, by the end of the third chapter, I realized I was in for a very different and unique reading experience. I ended up captivated with the characters stories and the well-written story line. It was beautiful and raw and I am glad I did not give up on this book.

A Pleasant Surprise
OMG! I can't believe I spent the day reading this book. I must admit that I honestly didn't think I'd get through this read because at first, I was a bit bored. However, it didn't take long before I realized that I was eagerly turning the pages.

Hanna is super creepy, truly disturbed and knows just how manipulative she can be. Witnessing the dynamics of this young family through the author's writing style was truly a pleasant surprise and I recommend you give this book a try.

I actually really enjoyed this film. I have a special place in my heart for medical mysteries and was intrigued when I saw this was based on a true story. I hadn't heard anything about this girl or her disease before watching this, so I can honestly say I learned something too! I think the main actress did a really great job portraying the symptoms and the breakdown of the main character. Overall an 8/10 for me because as I loved the story, it did drag in a few places.

I will have to check this out! I was definitely intrigued by the trailer and I just found out there’s a book too.

I didn't know there was a book until the end of the movie! It's definitely on my to read list.

This game is such a stressful delight! I hate playing but I can't stop. It's a great time waster for quarantine and such a fantastic thing for PS to do in an attempt to keep people home, not that I was leaving anyway! The chapters get gradually harder (as many games do) but i get so annoyed (I'm a very bad loser!!) But I literally can't stop playing till I finish, as I type, I'm nearly finished Among Thieves and very excited to start Uncharted 3! If only I could get past this darn chapter!!

"I feel like that’s going to be a common one on a lot of these people’s list, but for me it’s just about the coolest movie I ever saw. When I saw it I was like, “That is so cool.” I don’t know if that was Charlie Kaufman’s intention, but I love that it was the real John Malkovich. I think that’s where I started to be kind of excessive with pulling back the fourth wall a little bit. Although, that might be a recurring theme with my movies, now that I’m thinking about it."
