Milleen (47 KP) rated Her Perfect Life in Books

Nov 14, 2018 (Updated Nov 14, 2018)

If you enjoy psychological drama, add this to your reading list. This happens to be Sam Hepburn's debut in this genre after much success writing young adult thrillers. This is an examination of how far someone would go to create a perfect life. Juliet, a single-mum struggling to pay her bills and earn a living and Gracie, television darling and star of her own 'Cooking with Gracie'. Their paths cross and the women strike up an unlikely friendship, but things are not quite as they seem. This is a gripping narrative that keeps you guessing right up to the last chapter. Hepburn has given the reader plenty to think about, this is a bestseller for good reason.

Chernobyl is a great watch, especially as it's a true story about a nuclear power plant in Ukraine in the 80s.
Its gripping from the minute you watch start watching it, you can just tell something is going to go wrong and when it does, it's many people pay the price with their lives all because of a very stubborn man and his decisions to carry out test that came be done properly.
Chernobyl the city has to be abandoned straight away and still remains radioactive to this day.
It's not just about the explosion but how so many was affected and the trail when finding out who was to blame.

Leah (: (569 KP) rated Designated Survivor - Season 1 in TV

Jan 1, 2019

I absolutely LOVE this show. I watched both seasons over a few days!!

Tom Kirkman is the Designated Survivor which means he is selected to sit out when the whole of the US government meets, so that in the unlikely event of a disaster someone is able to lead the country.

Unfortunately Tom is the least qualified person for the job of The President of the United States, however he has to step up and the series follows his life as he tries his best.

This show has everything: politics, drama, mystery, suspense, conspiracy and is just very gripping!!

Really recommend this series I feel like it probably has something everyone will enjoy.

Good movie. Recommend for believers and non-believers alike.

This movie was a pleasant surprise. Ending up watching it on a whim with my sister who loves any movie based on a true story. And, yes, while the film is very heavy-handed with the religious propaganda, it's understandable given the film's circumstances. Truly a very emotionally gripping story led by a truly outstanding performance by Chrissy Metz. Seriously, she carries the film and acts her butt off. The rest of the surprisingly all-star cast play their role well. Would definitely recommend for believers and non-believers alike.

so terrible its hilarious

Well what can I say? Netflix has just released a cartoon about Santa Klaus and that is more realistic and believable than this, a film so ridiculous I was laughing out loud all the way through. With moments like a car being attached to a helicopter and the helicopter is lifting up the car but they flip nitrous on and so the wheels start turning fast, gripping the road and thus stopping the helicopter pulling it. Erm, science?

Also the show has more holes than Swiss cheese.

My girlfriend loved it and thought it was a brilliant film.
