This was much more difficult that I thought it would be!
It was sooo.. good for me to complete this 40-day sugar fast while thinking on scripture and how I can apply these principles :)
I really enjoyed the way the book flowed and I loved Wendy Speake's insight and encouragement. I think everyone should read this book at least once.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars for the encouragement, the health reasons, and for the many truths found between these pages.

Kathryn Bigelow recommended Mean Streets (1973) in Movies (curated)

"…and then [in Mean Streets], Robert De Niro; his kind of twitchy reverence to this wonderfully insane underworld. Somehow, the two [films] will always be forever linked in my mind. Whoever programmed those two movies together… it was at a moment when, in an art context, I was beginning to make short films. So film was definitely becoming a medium that was intriguing to me, and I hadn’t quite made a complete transition yet, but I found those two films just extraordinary, and they opened up a kind of unimaginable landscape for me. That kind of great irreverence, and intensity, and strength of purpose in those characters."

It's taken me about three week to read this. Psychological thrillers aren't really my thing but every once in a while I branch out from my usual romance.

I now kinda wish I hadn't. It took me forever to find this interesting/exciting. And it seemed to repeat a lot of the same things; Rachel getting drunk, Rachel on the same train everyday, Rachel harassing her ex... I was very bored for a while. And then the ending didn't really surprise me. It was a slow realisation but once we found out who was behind it, I wasn't surprised.

Think I'll stick to my mix of romances from now on.

I'm not sure about this story. Half the time I didn't understand their relationship and the other half I was swooning. It was a little strange.

One minute I liked Twitch, the next not so much. And then it would be repeated. I just found it all a little odd but at the same time I couldn't stop reading it. Hence the three star rating.

That ending had me in tears! And then that extra little bit has made me need to read the next one. WTF? You can't make me sad and then surprise me like that, it isn't a good look on me lol.
