Those first 80 pages or so were a real struggle for me. I found Margot and Lara Jean both really annoying, especially Margot. She's supposed to be all selfless but I found here quite the opposite so when she finally went to Scotland I was very happy.

I then pretty much devoured the book once LJ's letters got posted out and her love interests made appearances. I was very much cheering her on with both guys but there was something about Peter...and then it ended without a conclusion, or even a HFN.

So I really need to buy the second book in the series to find out what happens next.

You Should Have Left...this movie alone. Not sure whether I found this movie or it found me, but thankfully I made my way out of it. Was a little hard to get into at first, but about halfway through it got turned around on itself just like Kevin Bacon's character in the movie and started to feel very promising. It was all a lie though, and just like many of the hallways in the house it went nowhere and just didn't pan out. You Should Have Left was like a polaroid shot taken at the right angle, but you're left shaking the picture in your hand and it never develops.

I don’t want to give away the plot line as it will spoil the story for those that choose to read this book. But what I will say is all is not what it seems, and that’s evident from very early on...

Whilst I found the book to be well written, and not heavily wordy, I did find myself struggling in places, wishing the chapters would go by quicker than they were. Mid-book felt a little like wading in quicksand. And then the action jumped in towards the end.

I also found it difficult to relate or empathise with the characters.

But still an enjoyable short read overall!

Newest - at the time of reviewing - entry in the MCU, with Florence Pugh taking the lead (and with David Harbour mostly providing the comic relief), suffering from depression after the loss of her sister (Black Widow) and listlessly going about her assignments, until she finds herself ensnared in a death trap and forced to team-up with a similar group of misfits (and Bob) to escape.

I have to say, I found this one of the more enjoyable MCU movies in their recent post-Endgame run; found myself emphasising quite a bit with some of the characters (Bob) and appreciated the message behind it all.

Great story, great characters




Well worth buying it

I must say that the title and the synopsis had me intrigued but I practically pulled out my hair as I found this to be a dull read and forced myself to finish reading it. Reading true crime has always captivated me but unfortunately this one just fell short.
