I loved this book. It was so sad but it worked. I wouldn’t want a different ending.

Maddy Valeski is starting The Bird's Nest
This book was weird but really interesting. I’ve always been curious about DID so to have just discovered this book now is a shame on me.

Maddy Valeski is starting Where the Forest Meets the Stars
My question is how much did people get paid to get this book a 4 star rating. This book was so effing boring. None of the characters were likable. I did not enjoy this book.

Maddy Valeski is starting The Handmaid's Tale
I wish I didn’t watch the TV show before reading this 😭 granted I only watched the first season but the book was much better than the show. She’s just a girl in a hard situation. The ending was actually good for what it was. Left open for interpretation.

Maddy Valeski is starting The Picture of Dorian Gray
OKAYYYYYY. I actually really liked this. Super philosophical and I have my own take away for it. LOVED the ending. What a way to end a book.

Maddy Valeski is starting American Psycho
Honestly not sure if I got this book. Sometime it was a bit funny? Almost satirical? But I’m not really sure if that’s what the author was going for. Kinda gross and graphic.

Maddy Valeski is starting The Only One Left
It was okay! Definitely a twist I didn’t see coming. I just think overall it was only okay.

Maddy Valeski is starting Zoo Station: The Story of Christiane F.
Wow! I was finally able to read this book since getting a kindle! It’s a shame they don’t print physical copies of this book anymore. I feel like every high schooler should read this. It is powerful. It is devastating the lengths people go through to get high. I want to say that it’s gotten better for drug addicts than it was in the 70’s but damn the problems they had seem like they’re still existent today

Maddy Valeski is starting The Catch
I just quite literally don’t know what to think about this book. As soon as I think I have some idea of what is going on something else happens that completely diminishes my theory. Interesting writing style I’ve never seen before. Would I recommend this book? No.

The Catch

Maddy Valeski is starting Lights Out (Into Darkness, #1)
Okay so this book got a lot better than I thought it would turn out. But also why as a society do we romanticize criminal things?? He legit stalked her and broke into her house and car etc, but that’s not creepy at all cuz he’s got pretty privilege and so anything he does can be chalked up to romantic. I personally find that disgusting. It had a better plot than I was anticipating though so kudos to that.

Maddy Valeski is starting False: How Mistrust, Disinformation, and Motivated Reasoning Make Us Believe Things that Aren't True
This was pretty good!! Some large technical terms which made it a bit harder to read but overall it was almost scary?? It really puts into perspective how our world is but I really like the main point of it’s not us against them or you against someone else which I feel is how politics are. It really reminds you it’s US against the problem. No matter how you are politically oriented.

Maddy Valeski is starting Shutter (Rita Todacheene, #1)
This was pretty good! I enjoyed it. I wish it was more actiony? Like it had a lot on her background and history which was good but the ending was a bit disappointing? Like everything worked out so smoothly.

Maddy Valeski is starting Island of Lost Girls
I feel like I enjoyed this in the beginning it was well written and mystery like. But the ending was kind of a let down. The twists weren’t twisty enough for me.

I’m SOBBING writing this review. I just finished this book and I can’t even coherently put into words right now how sad but amazing this book is. Poor Charlie.

Maddy Valeski is starting Here, Where Death Delights: A Literary Memoir
This was such a niche/unique book! Considering the fact that she was the top forensic pathologist for Syracuse (my hometown) and discusses some of her cases from there are WILD. So cool I really enjoyed this!

Maddy Valeski is starting Penpal
Really debated if I should give this book 3 or 4 stars. But ultimately went with three because the ending was very confusing to me. After some Reddit research and learning other possible theories of what happened and how this book is way more fucked up than I thought. It was good though! Gives you the chills but things are still left unanswered.
