Not your typical man street and couldn't decide who to like or dislike. But tats oartmof what makes the book so appealing. Really enjoyed it and recommend!

Do you ever finish reading a book and feel like you've just watched a movie? I can picture every single character and scene from "She Was the Quiet One" by Michele Campbell like it unfolded right before my eyes.

Campbell had me hooked from the very beginning. A twisted story of 2 orphan twins who attend a new boarding school which results in one ending up dead and the other being accused of murder.

"She Was the Quiet One" is worded so well yet so complex sometimes you feel like the answers are right in front of you and the next minute you are questioning your paranoia and wondering if you have it all wrong.

This novel is due to be released in July and if you are a fan of psychological thrillers "She Was the Quiet One" is a MUST read. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in return for an honest review.

This is the story of fraternal twin girls whose father died when they were five and whose mother died when they were fifteen. Following her death, they went to their only living relative their paternal grandmother who lived on an estate in Connecticut. She outfits the girls and sends them to a very exclusive boarding school her family had attended for generations. Bel, the dark haired free spirited sister, immediately got involved with some senior girls who were rule breakers and partied whenever possible. Rose, the blonde sister was the good girl, studied, behaved and befriended others in her sophomore class. The girls were competitive and often bickered because their attitudes were so dissimilar. Eventually Bel and some cohorts came into Rose’s room and hazed her roommate. They also took pictures of her nude and put them on the internet. Bel is stoned during this episode on prescription meds. She has also developed a relationship with one of her teachers who is also her advisor. His wife is Rose’s advisor. He helps Bel develop a good story that keeps her from being disciplined in any way for the hazing. Rose is unhappy about this. When one of the girls is brutally murdered, the other is suspected of being her killer. The investigation and it’s ultimate outcome will keep the reader engrossed. I thought the book was a solid 3 1/2 stars upped to four and would have given it a full five had it been more tightly edited. There were times it felt as convoluted as this review! Thanks to Net Galley and St. Martin Press for an ARC for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read and review.

This book was like the pot you need to boil so you can make your pasta. The more you sit there and wait for the water to boil the longer it seems to take to start percolating. I liked the story line but the characters did not draw me in. I think this book is geared to the YA circuit as it centers around a murder at an exclusive boarding school. I would recommend to an older teenager.

Twins Rose and Bel Enright have enrolled in a very prestigious boarding school, and while Rose excels there, Bel falters. She starts hanging around with a dangerous crowd of spoiled rich kids who dare Bel to haze her own sister and the twins fall out. While Rose seeks advice and counseling from her dorm mother, Sarah, Bel gets her attention from Sarah’s husband, Heath, who is a teacher at the school. The fallout from these relationships seems inevitable, but Campbell throws more than a few twists into her reader’s paths until they may find the ending very surprising
