Did I Lock the Door?
I had just moved to New York City. I got a job in Midtown in Manhattan, some typical executive assistant position making just enough to live here, but not enough to enjoy it. My roommates were nice enough though, both slightly older girls than me, who was fresh out of college. Anna, lived in a downstairs studio that connected to the two of us upstairs. She bartended in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Shannon, the upstairs roommate worked for a non-profit, something to do with the city parks she told me. They welcomed me with open arms and wine. Telling me about the city and all the fun to be had. Once I was all moved in, we all settled into went on our own schedules.

Little did I know, special education is a lot more challenging and exhausting than I could have ever imagined.

There are times in my life when I think about how much paperback thriller literature I read. I come to the conclusion that it is a lot. One of my Amazon recommendations was Claire Douglas' book The Woman Who Lied and I was not all to enthusiastic about it to begin with but when the book started to get going, it got really good. I only found it a shame that there were so many details in the book that made no difference whatsoever to what happened. I understand intricacy and description because those are two things I love, but this kind of description ruins the pace of what could be a very good thriller novel. It took so long to get into the actual story of the situation and what was going on due to the random intricacies here and there that were not brought back later on and therefore, made no real difference to the plot. In scenes where it is vital that the writer builds up pace, the book is often let down by its inability to do so. As for the characters, most of them are unrelatable and terrible people, there is really little redeeming factors for this story. It upsetted me because I was so looking forward to reading it.
