Someone Knows by Vi Keeland

Book Summary.

SOMEONE KNOWS

Vi Keeland

She killed a man twenty years ago…and SOMEONE KNOWS.

Elizabeth works as a creative writing teacher. She spends her days teaching students how to explore their writing. She spends her nights reading chapters her students submit.

One such night, she opens an email from a student, and attached is a chapter, and the content is familiar. It’s about a relationship between a student and a professor. Elizabeth knows the story all too well. It is her story.

Frantically, she rereads the chapter, sure it’s not a coincidence. The names match, the timeframe matches, and devastatingly, the story matches.

As the story unravels, so does Elizabeth. It sends her on a hunt to find out who this student is before everyone knows.

The Review.

Just so we all know, I like Vi Keeland.

Her writing is swift and smart, and her characters always behave somewhere in the gray area. Elizabeth is a perfect example. You love to loathe her.  Living in her head is extremely interesting. I had a lot of fun following her through this storyline.

If you need a reference, I would say it’s a sexed up version of THE PLOT.  SOMEONE KNOWS is available now in stores. I’ve linked it down below.

Next to Heaven by James Frey

Book Summary.

NEXT TO HEAVEN

James Frey

As the story went I greatly enjoyed my time reading. It was soon that I realized I was reading it as a special treat.  Only to be listened to when I was alone and feeling perhaps a little naughty.

In the bath, right before bed, in the quiet of the night I’d turn it on. The storyline unraveled like a game of telephone. She told her who promised not to tell her who told the rest of them, because of course she did. The gossip of the event spread like wildfire until the telling of the story became its own event to attend.

The event will have ramifications for each and every person. Those who attended, those who wanted to, those who were more happy to talk about it than attend.

The Review.

Reading this book feels like listening in on adult conversations. I feel way too young (I’m not) to be reading this. Which brought its own kind of reading pleasure.

I recommend to those who may be searching for something to read in the dark. And especially those searching for parts of themselves in the dark.

You’ll find what you’re looking for NEXT TO HEAVEN.
