We Were Liars by E. Lockhart.  Advertised as a young adult book but thoroughly enjoyable by this old adult for its excellent writing and ending that in a recommend would "knock your socks off".  It was published in 2014 and has a new prequel out now: Family of Liars which I might read, I can't imagine it being better.  I did not want to put the book down.

Just finished Once two Sisters by Sarah Warburton. quite a story!  This is a complicated story of two sisters, one a best selling author, and the other an angry woman, who left behind her old life, took an new identity to begin a new life, telling no one!  When one sister is kidnapped, the story really takes off, it involves psychological torture, obsession, and deranged minds!  Lots of action will have the reader staying up late to read the ending!

@CareBears I have not heard of that one but I just now put it on hold.  Many ahead of me though.  Sometimes the last few pages of a book came be a big surprise.

Just finished The Brilliant Life of Eudora Honeysett,, I loved this book!  I laughed, cried, and wanted to slap a couple of the characters, but other characters I fell in love with!
