Synopsis:

He thought he knew everything about his wife… He was wrong!


Tom and Amy Pearce have built a seemingly perfect life – a loving marriage, a beautiful daughter, fulfilling careers, and a comfortable home. They couldn’t ask for more.

So why is Amy hiding something?


When Tom stumbles upon an object he believed was lost in a tragic accident, memories flood back, catapulting him into an emotional whirlwind.


A few days later, Tom observes an encounter between Amy and a mysterious stranger. The subtle shift in her demeanour piques his concern, stirring a deep unease within him. Desperate for answers, he confronts Amy, only to be met with evasiveness and distance.


As Tom delves deeper into the connection between the stranger and the object from the past, he realises he may not truly know his wife at all…


WHAT SHE KNEW – the new suspenseful thriller from the author of I’ll Find You, The Neighbour’s Secret and The Boy in the Well.

Review/ My thoughts

What She Knew is a fast paced thriller about a man, husband and father named Tom. His sister Emma just recently passed away from a house fire. Tom’s wife Amy has been acting strange lately having a strange man visit and hunt her down, taking phone calls at weird times. Being very secretive.

In the end Tom is on a mission to find out why Amy is behaving the way she is and it has a lot to do with his sister’s death.

Overall this was a good story there were moments where I felt I knew where the story was going but it didn’t take away from the story. I enjoyed how fast paced it was. This being the first story I read by this author I think I may check out other books by him.

Rating 3.75 (4) ⭐

My thoughts:

I remember reading The Bailey School Kids series when I was in grade school and I enjoyed all of them. I would normally buy them at my school book fair, I wanted to collect them all. I enjoyed reading this it was fast paced then I remembered. But it brought me back to when I little reading these chapter books. These are really fun and cute reads.

#BookReview: Chlorine Sky By Mahogany L. Browne

Mybeautymark Leave a comment

Synopsis:

A novel-in-verse about a young girl coming-of-age and stepping out of the shadow of her former best friend. Perfect for readers of Elizabeth Acevedo and Nikki Grimes.


She looks me hard in my eyes
& my knees lock into tree trunks
My eyes don’t dance like my heartbeat racing
They stare straight back hot daggers.
/I remember things will never be the same.
I remember things.


With gritty and heartbreaking honesty, Mahogany L. Browne delivers a novel-in-verse about broken promises, fast rumors, and when growing up means growing apart from your best friend.

Chlorine Sky is a coming of age story that’s written in verse about a young African American girl who enjoys playing basketball and doing all she can to show that she can be girly and be one of the guys. Whenever she is with her friend Lay Li she feels she’s in the way or guys don’t really notice her unless she is with Lay Li. This young girl is doing her best to try and process everything with how she is being treated with her older sister at home and taking advice from her cousin. It’s like she is caught in the middle. Her friendship with Lay Li was almost ruined due to a guy running a game on Lay Li when he showed he had interests in her. In the end she is just trying to understand everything.

Final thoughts

I like that this book was written in verse, this is why I decided to pick it up. Although I wanted a lot more from this story or more explanation of things. This wasn’t a bad story, I just wanted more from it. I do like this author’s work. I read her previous book and I enjoyed that. This is nice if you want something quick to read that’s not written in a traditional story format.
