🤔🤞🏼

Dang it I got a spoiler from a review. It wasn't marked as a spoiler...😫

It's beginning 🤞🏼

Good so far. Took me ages to start reading again though.

Reading this one to my Mum. My library only had the large print version so I'm on page 34 of 491.

I was correct !!+!??

Was my Harriet theory right? It might be leading there or it's the assumed twist from the start?

I knew he was involved somehow with her mum!!!+

Also where the heck did that random sudden attraction come from. Feels weird shoehorning in a potential romance at this stage in the book...🤔

Why isn't Stella questioning the family's numerous staff or Rose's old school yet??

Some theories:

1. Rose pushed Tina but she was coerced/tricked into doing so by her grandmother Harriet.
2. Rose accidentally killed Tina, she only meant to scare her.

Slightly more outlandish/lacking Evidence theories:

3. Stella has become mentally unstable and is not to be trusted as a narrator, or she's just straight up lying.
4. Charles was somehow involved in Stella's mum's death.

Good so far.

I actually like that the chapters are short, it makes it easier to read with my Mum, and it adds to the suspense.

I'm enjoying the story so far.

It's turned into me reading to my Mum, which is nice. I hope the story is a good one.
I used to be better at doing voices for reading but I'm just not so good anymore, so I'm only doing the narrator voice, the main character voice and a slightly more intense voice at times, so it's not quite as good as an audiobook.

Sorry book you've been pushed back despite being promising. I have library books again. Hopefully I'll read them.

I will return to this beloved series.

Still intending on finishing, but put in further down the list now.

Not feeling it. Paused indefinitely.

Paused indefinitely. I'm going to try to read the author's other work instead.

Paused indefinitely.

So I've gone back to daydreaming and listening to the same song on repeat....Dang it.

It meanders. My focus this year is very bad thus far.

I don't know if I will bother finishing this story. It's not gripping me.

I have my own copy of this book now which I must return to soon, but I keep adding new books to my currently reading 📚. My little brother brought me this book, although he initially thought it strange I wanted it since I previously had the library copy, but I'm a distracted reader, and sometimes I shelve a book away to read later, or unintentionally pause my reading, regardless of how good it is.
