Disappointing. 2.5 rounded up. This was too short to make sense of much less enjoy because wtf with that ending. This has the potential to be great but it’s too much of a seemingly involved plot to be a short story. As of now, the parents need to be in prison and why didn’t they just call the cops and what the fuck are the blanks? If this place was so dangerous
then pick another beach. Why would they go to this one if it’s dangerous? None of this makes any damn sense. It feels unfinished. The mom especially is trash. No explanation as why they didn’t try and defend themselves and the kids, but it feels like we’re supposed to know why. ]]>

I’m having bad luck these days with books. Another DNF. Daphne, main character was so insufferable and annoying that I couldn’t finish it. I noticed others enjoyed this book, but it’s just not for me. ]]>

Every Single Secret by Emily Carpenter
"
It doesn't make you a bad person to admit you have a touch of darkness inside you. We're all just hanging out together, here in the morally ambiguous quagmire. You don't have to be afraid of the darkness in yourself.





So, apparently I belong to the tiny little group of people who weren't particularly touched by this book.
I've seen reviews praising the writing, the author's style, the twists, the ending, and, honestly? To each their own, but I don't see it. I don't see the appeal at all.
I found the story insanely dull and, even though I kind of liked Daphne's backstory, I hoped it would affect the plot more than it actually did.
And don't let me start about that ending. Jeeeeesus fries, what a mess.
Maybe I'm too picky, maybe I've read one too many creepy psychological thrillers that desensitized me to weird stuff for good, I don't know. I just know that I'm not impressed, but gosh, do I wish I was."

This started out okay but lost me quickly. I skipped to the end so I guess it’s a DNF. ]]>

Audiobook DNF: this started out interesting. It evolved and dragged on and on and on. Basically a man wins the lottery and never really feels like a winner because actually he’s a loser.
I skipped the majority of the book and went straight to the end . ]]>
