Mini Reviews: Stay Sexy and Don't Get Murdered by Georgia Hardstark and Karen Kilgariff and The

3.5****
I know I'm in the minority of readers who didn't absolutely love this book, but it just wasn't quite what I hoped it would be. I heard great things and and was excited to read it, and though it's entertaining, it wasn't as engaging as I hoped it would be. I found the authors to be a little irritating, even as I wasn't left unaffected by their stories and what they went through. Obviously, this is a personal thing and many other readers will feel quite differently and really enjoy. If you give it a chance, I hope you do. Overall, not a standout, but entertaining enough and a good summer read.

The Date held my attention from beginning to end, and though I guessed a few twists along the way, I still found it to be a really engaging and satisfying psychological thriller. Ali seemed like a realistic character and the premise of the story was celever and well plotted. Recommended!
