Beachy Book Reviews

The beach was perfect. I got tons of sun and knocked 2 books off my summer reading list. I'll share pictures from our vacation soon but I wanted to go ahead and do a couple of book reviews.


The first book I read on vacation was Sweet Valley Confidential. I grew up being a huge Sweet Valley fan. Maybe that will soften my next sentence. This book was the worst thing I have ever read. It was terrible. I had to make myself finish it.




These Things Hidden is the second book from Heather Gudenkauf. I read her debut novel last year and loved it. These Things Hidden is a definite must read. This book reads so fast due to the very short chapters and I love the way it is told from several view points.

I had heard that about the new SVH! I too loved it when I was younger.

I've heard that the Sweet Valley book was terrible. That makes me sad because I LOVED those books!

Thanks for the heads up about Sweet Valley - I loved those books. Won't waste my time with this one, though!

I've heard the SV book wasn't good...now I'm disappointed, I expecting it to be good :(.

This is the 2nd bad review I've read about Sweet Valley. I'll definitely be skipping that one. These Things Hidden sounds really good.

I felt the same about the Sweet Valley book.
Glad you had fun at the beach
