I received this book as a birthday/graduation gift during a family trip out of state. I'm a very picky person, I don't journey out of my bubble very often when it comes to books because I'm not adventurous (One of the reasons for joining this site actually) but I like a good mystery and the bright text on the back cover painted it as one.

I started it before we left the hotel and finished it on the three-hour plane ride home.

April Grace is utterly hilarious! I believe this is her diary or something but it seems like she's sitting across from you, telling you the story herself! The world-building took me back in time to the 80s, rural Arkansas where these books take place.

I never wanted to leave! The endearing characters and intricately woven plot will pull you in and take you for a joyride

"OK look, I have only seen this film once and I will never watch it again. But the effect it had on me was so profound that it kind of shifted things creatively inside me. I went to the cinema one night in London with two very good friends when I was 24. It blew me away. It’s so raw and so poetic at the same time. Emily Watson was sublime. I came out of the theater in a daze and the three of us wandered around the streets of Soho for hours not quite knowing what to do with ourselves. I literally didn’t sleep all night. I just lay there in my hotel room reliving the story. Even now I can see the bleak color palette, the camera moves, and Emily’s naive face. Lars Von Trier is a genius. Every film he makes is so honest and powerful."
