YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

Everyone has secrets.

YouTube baking sensation April Masterson knows the secret to the perfect gooey brownies. Or how to make key lime squares that will melt in your mouth. But if you keep watching her offline, you may find out some other secrets about April. Secrets she’d rather you didn’t know.

Like where did her son go when he snuck out of the house? What was she doing with the local soccer coach behind fogged windows? And what’s buried in her backyard?

Everyone has secrets. Some are worse than others. April’s secrets are enough to destroy her.

I’ll make sure of that.

(view spoiler)[there's not really that much happening in this book. Like i mean there are games, fun discussions and book clubs happening but for a mystery book perspective, its almost going nowhere with no crime to solve or a mystery to focus on. (hide spoiler)]

40%

(view spoiler)[i just noticed that the plot is pretty much only present when it comes to the mysterious chatter on messages, almost everything that happent in reality or how April, Maria & Julia interacts with their husbands and sons are mostly for nothing than as a filler. Everything was severely going to waste but then the mysterious messager (I predict it to be Julia ever since the start) is the smallest "Plot" that this book have. (hide spoiler)]

59%

(view spoiler)[Oh No! Brianna has been murdered! why the heck did the plot only start at the literal halfway point of the book

My prediction on who killed Brianna is Maria,. Because if Julie is he one being mean to April,. April i think is not actually a nice and innocent woman that she appears to be (literally all "nice" characters always turn out to be not nice). Therefore through the process of elimination, Maria killed Brianna. (hide spoiler)]

60 something, im a bit confused%

(view spoiler)[Riley, Keith, Janet,,. It just keeps introducing new and new and new characters that are intentionally a Red Herring. Most of these people doesn't even RELATE to the plot itself. At this point the like culprit may be someone totally damn random like Idk Janet.., , ok new prediction, Janet=A Future Culprit for whatever idk reason then Julia is the one sending the mean comments to April.

(view spoiler)[ Janet? I must have missed her. Or she was just mentioned in passing. (hide spoiler)]

Jumping in now hope it’s good like her other books.

(view spoiler)[nah i think maybe thats the thinggggg (back then, cuz like i already finished the book). My thought process was since because she's basically forgotten—therefore she'd maybe be the culprit? Or maybe just someone who's at fault at something bad at least. I've seen that happen on too many occasions on Freida McFadden books already (hide spoiler)]

WAITTTT, I ALSO HAVE ALREADY READ 'A SIMPLE FAVOR'


AND UHHHHHHH,... YEAH IT IS SIMILAR 😭😭😭😭
