Rating: ★★★★
Finished within a day and a half, McCreight had me in a spelling binding grip to turn the page. Although this was an easy read, I found myself very entertained at the build up of the suspenseful mystery and shocked at the climax.

Book Review: Veronika Decides to Die
Rating: ★★★★★
I am such a strong believer of “everything happens for a reason”, especially with the timing of the moment as well. In this instance, I’ve been thrifting for years on the hunt for specific books to add to my home library. Veronika Decides to Die has been on this ‘treasure hunt’ list since day one. I finally found it during a time where I was discovering myself. It was right after returning from my solo adventure trip to Peru. What I love about Paulo Coelho’s brand of writing is the theme of his books. This one was based on redemption.
