reviews of my August reads 📚

we don't talk about Carol ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This one was a slow burn, but very well written! It was interesting to see the path the main character took to figure out all the little details. There were a lot of plot points that had very perfect endings, which made it seem a bit unrealistic. Overall I liked

Incidents Around the House: 3/5 - I really wasn’t a huge fan of this book. I feel like it was weird and then the twist at the end made it even weirder lol The Cabin: 3/5 - it was a good YA book but just not enough for me. The Midnight Feast: 3/5 - this was my 2nd time reading this, the first
