Tori Talks Books & More

I had seen this book all over social media but didn't know much about it. One day I was on Libby and the audiobook was available. Since that's my typical method of getting books in during the week (since I can listen to them at work), and it has a comparison to a Gillian Flynn novel, I jumped on the chance to check it out. Again, I didn't really have any idea what I was getting into. " HER PERFECT LIFE IS A PERFECT LIE. As a teenager at the prestigious Bradley School, Ani FaNelli endured a shocking, public humiliation that left her desperate to reinvent herself. Now, with a glamorous job, expensive wardrobe, and handsome blue blood fiancé, she’s this close to living the perfect life she’s worked so hard to achieve. But Ani has a secret. There’s something else buried in her past that still haunts her, something private and painful that threatens to bubble to the surface and destroy everything."

Hello! In this post, I'm going to participate in the aforementioned Mid-Year Freak Out Tag. A lot of Booktubers posted theirs in the month of June, but I like to do things a little late around here 😊 I will link to the original poster of the tag from several years ago at the bottom of this post. I will also, obviously, be writing out the questions as I answer them. Each response will also have the Goodreads link attached. Get your snacks and drinks, and settle in. It's going to be a long one... Let's get to it! 1) Best book you've read so far in 2019? I actually have two responses for this question.

It's been on my TBR for years and years, but I finally got around to it after they transitioned it into a TV series. I knew I'd want to read it before I watched it, and I'm so glad I did! 2) Best sequel you've read so far in 2019? If we are...

I received this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. First below is the Goodreads summary, then my actual review. 🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑 No visitors. No nights spent away from the apartment. No disturbing the other residents, all of whom are rich or famous or both. These are the only rules for Jules Larsen's new job as an apartment sitter at the Bartholomew, one of Manhattan's most high-profile and mysterious buildings. Recently heartbroken and just plain broke, Jules is taken in by the splendor of her surroundings and accepts the terms, ready to leave her past life behind. As she gets to know the residents and staff of the Bartholomew, Jules finds herself drawn to fellow apartment sitter Ingrid, who comfortingly, disturbingly reminds her of the sister she lost eight years ago. When Ingrid confides that the Bartholomew is not what it seems and the dark history hidden beneath its gleaming facade is starting to frighten her, Jules brushes it of...
