"There is something imminent surrounding us, and we have no idea it's there. Tomorrow morning, we will sit down for breakfast at the dining hall, as we always do, and realize one of us is gone."
I finished Tell Me Everything this afternoon. I only had about 20 pages left last night but I knew the ending was going to upset me so I didn't want to read it before going to bed. I liked the college setting in Maine, the ideas of 6 friends going through 4 years together but I knew something bad was going to happen and I kept having to tell myself it is only a book. 4/5 stars
I heard that Netflix has bought the rights to make a movie.

I read Woman On the Edge by Samantha M. Bailey ... it was quite good ... kept my interest ... she is a Canadian author and this is her first novel ... 4 out of 5 I've just started The Only Plane In the Sky - An Oral History of 9/11 by Garrett M. Graff ... I've heard great things about this book so I'm looking forward to it ... it should be moving ...

Finished... Heft by Liz Moore - I really liked it! I didn't like being left with the ending though. I wanted to know more about how the relationships continued to evolve. I makes me happy to hear you liked it. I love Arthur Opp! He's one of my favourite literary characters. I'll sometimes wonder how he's doing (yes, I do know he's fictional...lol) but I like to think he's happy surrounded by his new 'family'

I’m reading Behind Closed Doors by BA Paris. It’s kept my interest but I need to remember I’m not a fan of the psychological thriller. I hated Gone Girl and The Woman in Cabin 10 and this is all too similar.

But that's one of those things that I have to keep telling myself *it's fiction, it didn't really happen*.
