This book is really good and really exciting

A charming premise that delivers a quietly satisfying read. The characterizations are tender, and the heart of the book, rather than plot.

The story kept me engaged and kept me guessing. I’d recommend this book for someone who enjoys psychological thrillers.

Wicked and delightful! Excited to read more by this author . The story came full circle and without less ends

A beautifully written story that portrays important and realistic issues; the issues being both relatable and gut wrenching at times, powerfully showing the ups and downs of teenage drama, social dynamics, trauma, mental pressures, and finding yourself while accepting your differences.

This book’s plot started out seeming like a well-known rom-com plot of “fake dating leads to real love”. That is the basic theme, but the book is entertaining along the way with a lot of pieces to the plot. I really enjoyed the book.

I usually enjoy Reese's Book Club picks and The House in the Pines was an enjoyable book although not what I expected. The book is written in third person with the main protagonist being a young 25-year-old named, Maya. When she was eighteen, Maya dated a man named Frank and she seemed to lose significant periods of time when with him. A key event is when Maya's best friend, Aubrey, just died for no reason when having a conversation with Frank. Fast forward to 7 years later when Maya was 25 and saw a video on social media where the same Frank is in a booth at a diner in Maya's hometown of Pittsfield, MA, and the woman across from him also suddenly dies while just talking to Frank. While depicted as a thriller, the book is just about Frank's interesting ability (no spoiler alert). My favorite parts of the book dealt with Maya's Guatemalan background, her late father, and her visits to Guatemala City.

It was a different type of a book. I listened to it rather than reading it. I am not sure I like Cara. She doesn’t seem to self reflect about how she treated her son and what she did to him like as mothering him too much and throwing an iron at him. She doesn’t seem to really look at her own weaknesses.

It’s was a very fun book. And was like another episode. Got a couple of details wrong about Sam and Dean, and there were a couple things that could’ve been done differently but was overall a good book.

This is a good one. My son can easily fill in the blank while reading this because it is repetitive.
