Just a great example of what it is.
Like, it's the perfect example.
I'm loving it.
I'm loving it!
So, I'm going to suggest that Gavin clicks off this video right now if he's watching.
I feel horrific.
For those of you who have been on my channel for a while,
remember a series I did called BookTube Twin Test.
I last did an episode of this ten months ago.
I actually can't believe it's been that long, but I just went and looked and it's been like nine, ten months.
By the time this comes out, it'll be ten months.
It's been 84 years.
In that episode, I had Mara from Books Like Whoa as a guest,
and she turned out to be my BookTube twin.
I never thought this would happen, but the way that we did this was that
the BookTube would have to recommend me three books,
and they would get a number of points per how many stars each book got.
And if they got 15 points, aka the maximum points available,
they were my BookTube twin, and I thought that would never happen.
Turns out it did.
And Mara got three five stars.
And for a long time, I was debating whether I should even bring this back.
I was like, you know, is there a point now?
You know, like, should we continue doing this?
But I spoke to my patrons a bit about it, and they're like,
Megan, you need to bring it back.
You need to keep doing it.
So we're here again.
I guess we're trying to find me and Mara's BookTube triplet now.
And I asked you guys again, I refreshed my kind of,
what's the word, like market research of who you guys think
I have a similar reading taste to you.
And for this episode, I've picked someone that quite a few of you said,
and that is Gavin.
From How To Train Your Gavin.
Here's all the people that said Gavin.
Here we are.
And so yeah, I asked Gavin to pick three books that he loved,
that he thinks I'll love as well.
And we're gonna read them.
I have no idea what he's picked.
I thought Gavin would be an interesting one to kick off, I guess,
this kind of second season.
We're not gonna call it a second season,
but this kind of is the second season of BookTube Twin Test.
Because he's not someone I immediately think of when we have similar tastes.
I feel like he reads a lot of stuff that I don't read.
But maybe in what we do read where there's crossover,
we do have a similar reading taste.
So let's see his video and see what he's picked.
Oh my god, Meg, I literally just filmed the whole thing and didn't click record.
Let's do it again.
Oh my god.
Meg.
Take two.
Thank you so much for asking me to part of your Twin Test series.
And I already feel like we look so much alike.
We might as well try and find out if our tastes in books actually do align.
One of us likes Ruthwear and it ain't me.
You're nasty.
So I am a little bit nervous and scared about the outcome of this video.
However, I do feel like I have a bit of a strong selection for you
that I hope you end up loving.
We'll see.
And if you had have asked me like a year ago,
this list would have been so different.
I've picked three books that I have genuinely really loved this past year.
I think is indicative of my tastes moving forward.
So the first book that I would love for you to read is
Confessions by Kanae Monado.
This one made me f*** myself.
I think I was f***ed because I just couldn't believe what I just read.
So your homework, when you read this,
like say chapter by chapter, you send me a message.
You send me a message when you get to like the end of chapter one,
end of chapter two, you just send me the messages.
This one is about a teacher who works in a middle school
and her daughter died on school premises a good few months back.
And this teacher, she's resigned
and she's given her final class to her students.
And she starts the class by saying pretty much,
I know two of you killed my daughter
and I want to find out who did it.
Because it was f***ing one of yours.
Disgusting.
Then I have one that I think you own
and you will have definitely seen doing the rounds on booktube.
And that's Finley Donovan is killing it.
Absolutely not. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
I thought I was gonna die.
I have avoided reading Finley Donovan for so long.
It actually made my voice go out of fit.
I feel like I should love it.
This is one I've been putting off for so long
and now Gavin's forced my hand.
Okay, back to the video.
Oh, ----.
By Al Cosimano.
So good.
We'll not talk about the sequels either.
However, this book itself is just a modern day classic, as you will.
You'll know what this is about.
I don't need to tell you again.
However, I will.
Because I want all the screen time I can get.
This one is about Finley.
She is a writer.
She's having lunch with her agent.
And she's talking about her book.
And somebody mishears her.
Somebody actually thinks she's a hit woman.
Oh, my God. I can't believe you've done this.
And gives Finley an offer that...
I can't believe you've done this.
Leads to some, like, really great comedic moments.
Ooh, stunning.
Just one of the best books I've read since joining booktube, in all honesty.
Okay, no pressure.
So I do hope that you think the same, too.
God, I'm doing so good so far.
She's really good.
Okay, so maybe in the dumb but absolutely beautiful **** that I am.
Just realize that you've actually already read the third book that I've recommended.
But if anything, that just proves that we are twins.
So you can go ahead and put those 15 points in my tally right now.
So the third and final book that I'm going to recommend, and hopefully you haven't read it,
is The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson.
Now, I got this out of the library, I think, what, three or four months ago.
And absolutely loved it.
And I had the lowest of expectations going into it.
Because of how much I did not like Peter Swanson's other book, Nine Lives.
Don't read that one.
I mean, you might read it and like it because, you know.
But hopefully you enjoy this one.
There are so many plot twists in it that I was just like, what?
For half of the book.
So this one's a little bit like Strangers on a Train.
We follow Ted, and he meets this beautiful woman called Lily.
And while talking to Lily, Ted jokingly says how much that he would love for his wife to die.
Lily ends up taking that as a challenge.
I was shooketh to the core, not just because of how good the book was,
but the fact that Peter Swanson actually wrote a good book.
I'm just saying.
So if I love the book, then I'm pretty sure you will too.
And this is actually just reminding me that I loved it enough to buy a copy.
So those are the three books that I recommend.
Godspeed to you.
And I'm so excited to find out if our tastes actually do align.
Confessions in The Kind Worth Killing I don't own.
So I'm gonna get my hands on those.
I don't know, I suppose Confessions I was maybe expecting.
I wasn't necessarily expecting The Kind Worth Killing.
But I can't get over Finley Donovan.
Get that fire, Rixito.
I'm off.
Yes, he's a concern and a worry.
I actually don't even know what to say.
Those of you who've been here a lot will know you've been telling me,
Megan, you have to read this.
I told you I'd read it within the first, like, month of the year.
That didn't happen.
We're finally going to be reading Finley Donovan's Killing It.
I think we'll leave that one till last.
Because I like the drama.
So I don't know.
I've got to get my hands on Confessions in The Kind Worth Killing.
So I'll get my hands on one of those.
And we will start.
Wow, I don't know how I feel about this, this gap in.
I'm a bit nervous.
So, I got my hands on both Confessions in The Kind Worth Killing.
Okay.
So I've started with Confessions.
Okay.
If I speak, I am in big trouble.
In big trouble.
I've got to be honest, I'm not in love with it.
I'm going to turn this light off.
It's making me look funny.
Hang on.
There's something about Confessions I'm not 100% loving.
So, basically, all you need to know about this
is that a teacher's four-year-old daughter
was murdered by some of her pupils.
And in the first chapter,
she is confronting them about this.
And then each further chapter, from my understanding,
is told from a different perspective
of someone involved in the case.
And I'm just not loving it.
Oh no!
I forgot.
I haven't done it for so long that I have forgotten
with Booktube Twin Test how terrible I feel
when I don't love a book.
Like the same...
I remember we had bad luck with Gabby's
and I just felt like the worst person on earth.
I mean, it's fine.
There's something about the writing style
that I'm not vibing with.
And I know it's not that it's a Japanese translation
because I have given so many Japanese translations
five stars, right?
So it's just something about the writing style
I am not connecting with.
I am so sorry.
I'm about 100 pages in.
I read all those 100 pages last night
and I read it all in one sitting,
that 100 pages,
which I haven't been doing a ton of,
especially not at night.
I've been struggling, you guys, to read at night.
I've just been falling asleep.
And I know I can't make it a habit
because once it's a habit,
I will fall asleep every time I do it.
The same thing happens with your watch.
Well, it used to be Buzzfeed Unsolved,
but now it's Watcher.
Brian and Shane, I've watched a lot of their stuff.
Me and my boyfriend always watch them
when we're going to bed at night.
And I now fall asleep every time I watch them.
Not voluntarily,
just because I associate them with sleep.
But I managed to read a lot last night.
But even then, it was just kind of
because I know I have to,
because I have to read a certain amount of books this week
in order to get all of my obligations down,
like this vlog and the live show that I've got
and yada yada.
You know, I know I've got to, like,
I can't, I can't hang about with reading books.
And there's, I just, I don't know what to say.
I just feel like I'm 100% missing out.
I don't know what else there is to tell you.
I feel like everyone has given this five stars.
Everyone's obsessed with it.
Everyone's like, oh my god, it's pure genius.
None of the plot twists yet have made me go,
I've just been bored.
It doesn't help that the chapters are quite long.
I think we're only going to have, like,
six chapters maybe in this whole thing
because each person's perspective is a chapter.
And that's just not the vibe that I want right now.
And I just thought this book was going to be very different
from hearing people like Gavin,
Katie loved it,
Kayla, did Kayla love it?
I can't remember.
I remember it was one of Kayla's book clubs.
Like, I have very different expectations for this book.
I'm like, because it's a different cover in the UK.
I'm like, is this the same book?
Am I reading a different book to the rest of you?
I don't know.
I didn't expect it to be like this
and I'm just not loving it.
So anyways, I'm going to finish it tonight.
I'm going to plow through it.
Maybe my attitude will change.
Listen, I'm only halfway through a short book
and my opinion has changed very much
with short books in the past all of a sudden.
So I'm hoping that's going to happen.
But I'm just kind of bored.
And I've been bored with a lot of what I'm reading lately
and I was hoping this video was going to shock me
into, like, life again.
At least we'll have Finley Donovan.
I'm going to say Finley Donovan to the end, guys.
I'm going to make you wait.
Because I'm going away tomorrow
and I don't really want to read Finley Donovan
while I'm in the car.
Like, I want to read that book when I'm in bed,
like, vibing.
So we're going to read The Kind Worth Killing next.
So yes, anyways,
I will see you tomorrow morning probably
after I finish this.
Whatever I said,
whatever,
it didn't mean it.
We could also go with, um...
I don't even want to talk to you guys.
So I started this 11 days ago,
according to Goodreads.
Don't we just love that?
And if I'm looking tired,
it's because I just read the last, like,
40 pages of this
and it...
Yup! Yup! Yup! Yup! Yup!
So I'm going to suggest that Gavin
clicks off this video right now if he's watching.
I feel horrific,
but I'm giving this two stars.
So Gavin starts off with two points.
I don't know.
This is a book, right,
I feel like everyone's loved this.
Like, loads, so many booktubers have loved this, right?
That I love and have similar reading tastes to
and watch and adore.
And I just don't get it.
Right, sometimes when I don't love a book,
I can, like, look at it objectively
and be like, okay, I get why everyone else likes it
and I don't.
I don't get it.
I don't get what you guys...
Have I read a different book?
Is this, like, a bootleg?
Like, fake fashion?
Because I was so bored.
So bored.
What up, what do you want?
Are you filming?
Yeah, for a vlog.
Oh.
I'll be, like, two minutes.
Tom...
There's one other thing I need to tell you.
Come tell them yourself.
What's it...
What are you going to say you can't stop thinking about
from McDonald's?
There's Chicken Big Mac.
Chicken Big Mac.
Oh, hello.
Who is it?
You just sat down there.
Hello, Lexi.
Come here.
Hmm.
Not sure about this.
I'm going to have to let you out in two seconds.
Anyways, I have discovered...
I have made a discovery, Lex.
Indulge me, if you will.
So we have the same problem
if you watch my seven murder mystery books in seven days
and I read six stories by Matt Wieselowski
and this and I have something...
Oh, Lex.
And both of their, like, storytelling techniques are the same
where we've got multiple characters from different perspectives
each with, like, a whole chapter from their perspective
telling the story of what happened from their perspective
and it turns out I hate that.
Because you just hear the same story over and over again.
I'm like, what's the point?
Bored shitless!
I'm hearing the same conversation
over and over and over again!
What is the point?
I'm so upset!
Like, if I have read the whole story pretty much
within the first 40 pages
what's the point in me reading this whole book?
I was so bored because...
And even though there's a few twists
like a few, like, you know, as we read the perspectives
we figured out more what happened
and if it was a surprise to me
I'd sussed out everyone in this story within the first 40 pages
no, there was no twist, there was no shocks, there was no tension
there's no tension with this type of story
because you're telling me the same story over and over again
I feel like the TikTok of that girl who worked for Tesco
and she imagines fighting a customer
I love it!
And I have nothing to say to you
It took me 11 days to read this book
It's 230 pages long
What was I playing at?
I actually didn't want to read
At the moment I don't feel excited to read
I don't feel...
I am not in love with reading right now
and I think this book is to blame
Sorry!
I have nothing else to say to you
The writing didn't personally vibe with me
the way it's written
I can understand why some people actually enjoy the style of writing
but for me it didn't vibe
It reminded me, actually
I'm not going to spoil anything
but the ending of that is exactly the kind of book
I wrote about 5 times in my creative writing lessons
at school in year 6
and I got told off for doing the same ending over and over again
If you have read
Confessions!
I was going to say, if you've read my year 6 stories
If you've read Confessions
you'll know what the ending is
and I did that again and again
so
if year 6 me wrote it, whatevs
We're going to read Kind of Worth Killing Next
I got the audiobook
I need to sneeze
Oh, gosh
I dabbed
Yeah, we're going to start the Kind of Worth Killing tonight
I don't know how far I want to get into it
I really just want to play Cozy Grove
but I need to read
if I'm going to get this book to you
If I'm going to get this video
That book made me so tired
If I'm going to get this video to you
this weekend
instead of when it was supposed to go up
last weekend
I can't push it back another weekend
So
We'll see
I'd like to get maybe 100 pages in tonight
We shall see
Good morning!
I am halfway through the Kind of Worth Killing
Ignore my injury
Yeah, I'm halfway through the Kind of Worth Killing
I'm really enjoying it
Finally
Some good ******* food
We're getting a bit positive, guys
I'm feeling better
We obviously just started off with the one that wasn't for me
So, all you need to know about this
is that
what are their names?
Ted and Lily meet in this airport bar
He confesses to her
My wife's cheating on me
I'm so angry
I could even kill her
And Lily's like
Maybe you should
And it's split perspective
between Ted and Lily
alternating between them
Ted telling more of the current day storyline
of him finding more out about his wife's affair
and Lily kind of going back to her childhood
and discussing possible routes of being okay with murder
I don't believe in the glorification of murder
I do believe in the empowerment of women
It doesn't feel like a five star
yet
Let's say yet
Let's not say not a five star
Let's say yet
It could happen
But it is exactly what I needed
It's a fun
quick
thriller
It's such an easy read
I'm flying through it
I'm loving it
The audiobook's really good
I'm really enjoying the audiobook narrator
It's exactly what I needed
It's exactly what I was asking for
I needed quick
fun
easy
Don't think too hard about it
The only reason I'm thinking it's not going to be a five star
I don't think I've ever given a thriller
that's to do with marital relationships
a five star
because I often feel like they're a bit generic
and the tropes that they play up on are just a bit old
and this isn't doing anything new
so it's not pushing the boundaries of
I don't know
but we did just have a really good twist as well
I'm on page like 200
but literally like the last chapter
was we've entered book two of the book
so I'm not going to tell you anything about what's happening
but there was a twist
that I really
I was not expecting seeing coming
and it's made me like it even more
I was like
Damn
It's the kind of twist that I enjoy
where it's like ballsy
It's a ballsy twist
It's not afraid to go there
and I really appreciate that
So yeah this is my first Peter Swanson
and it makes me intrigued to try more
I know everyone's been dunking on like
every new release he has every year
Every year I see his new releases
turn up on like people's
Oh my god I'm so excited for this list
and then by the end of the year
it's like on everyone's worst books
Like Nine Li-
Liars? Lives?
Nine Lives? Whatever that one was
The one before that
I can't even remember what it was called
I swear it was about like a
another man and a woman
and they're both having affairs
I don't know
But this has made me intrigued
to try more from him
and I'm just having the best time
I don't know if it's going to be a 5 star
but I feel like this is at least
going to be a strong 4
is what I'm currently feeling
So I'm going to go ahead
and like finish this
this morning slash afternoon
I'm just going to
I'm going to edit some of this video
and I'm going to finish this book
because I'm really excited
to see where it's going to go
and it's a very nice fun quick read
Okay
I finished The Kind Worth Killing
Drumroll
I'm going to give this
4.5 stars
I'm going to give it 4.5 stars
That puts Gavin on
6.5 stars
Which, listen, right
We started off rough with a 2
But
if you remember
that if Finlay Donovan gets a 5
that will leave him on
11 and a half stars
which isn't
11 and a half points
which isn't
you know, that's not to be sniffed at
that's within like the higher
higher parts I guess
of the
of the leaderboard
So listen
not bad
we're back on track with this
I think this is just a great example
of what it is
It's the perfect example
of what it is
The only reason it's not a 5 for me
is because it perhaps felt
a little bit generic
I feel like more and more
the books that I give 5 stars
have to have something different about them
something innovative
something that I haven't seen before
and I feel like
everything in this
I have seen before
to some extent
but it was just a great example
of what it was
I would probably recommend this
to people as their first thriller
I think this could really be a thing that
gets you into thrillers
that makes you want to read more thrillers
I think this is a great example
of something that
if you're wanting to get into thrillers
this would be an example of that
and it also just reminded me
why I can love a good thriller
More and more I read more mystery-based stuff
but um
I've got a Miko hair
somewhere on my face
I just cuddled him
and I just like
my clothes are covered in him
my face is covered in him
he malts like crazy
I don't have to sit here
and listen to this
More and more I read mystery-based stuff
but I feel like this
reignited a love of thriller in me
and it is exactly what I needed
after Confessions
like it's made me excited to read again
the past couple weeks
I think
the last vlog I did as well
I just wasn't
was that the one I had
a lot of like three stars?
I think it was
I just haven't been excited to read
whereas this has like
made me go
oh yeah
I love reading
the audiobook was great
I have seen that there is
a sequel that's just come out
you know
shame on Gavin
for making me start
two different series
I'm not exactly supporting that goal
are we?
but um
I think I will read it
I don't
it doesn't seem like
necessarily a series to me
it feels more like a companion book
we only seem to have like
maybe one character
from this book
um
in it
and although this does have
an open ending
it seems like
the open ending
is going to be left open
and the second book
is following something else
so I think I will give it a go
I will read it
the reviews look good
it's only been out like a month
but the reviews look really good
so yeah
if you're wanting to get
into more thrillers
this would be a top recommendation
for me
I loved it
I probably wouldn't have read this
if it wasn't for Gavin
picking it for me
or at least
I wouldn't have read it
for a very long time
and I'm so glad I read it
so
the time has come
I'm so nervous
I can't believe this is happening
the time has come
to start
Finney Donovan
is killing it
I can't escape it anymore
I can't
I can't escape it anymore
I will check in with you
about
it's like
350 pages
I'll check in with you
once I've read about
100 pages
I'm gonna edit
I haven't edited anything yet
I'm gonna edit this vlog so far
then I'm going to
what am I gonna do then?
then I'm gonna dance
oh my god
Fitness Marshall on YouTube
I'm obsessed
if you guys wanna do
like more dance workouts
the Fitness Marshall is so good
just make a playlist
with some of your favourite songs
and then just like
let the songs run
from one to the other
it's so good
I love it so much
it makes me so happy
so I'm gonna do that this evening
and then hopefully
I'll check in with you
later this evening
having read the first 100 pages
I'm really excited
I'm nervous
but
I'm feeling like
I'm gonna love it
we've waited long enough
it's time to begin
good morning cuties
I'm gonna do my skincare
I got to page 100
late last night
so I didn't really
feel like filming
so yeah we're 100 pages in
I cut my finger
cutie's got a dress
I cut my finger badly
the day we're cooking
that's why I've got a bandage on
I'm still in my pyjamas as well
don't judge
all my life
I've been someone
who didn't really
ever get spots
I never really had a problem
with acne or whatever
but I've been breaking out
so much lately
particularly like here
like this spot in particular
I've never
had spots there before
and I've been
like I've had
spots there
loads
that's suspicious
that's weird
the past couple weeks
I'm thinking
perhaps it's this
I've seen a few people
online saying
that this made them
break out
so I'm like okay
I'm gonna
test run
that it's this
and stop using this
for a while
so anyways
let's do the skincare
so I'm 100 pages
into Phenidonimus Klinger
f***ing it
I don't know
what you want me to say
like I'm loving it
but are
are we surprised
I don't think we are
so I know you guys
have probably heard
the pitch a thousand times
we've got a struggling mum
who honestly
I've never hated
a character as much
as I hate her ex-husband
it's on site
honestly
like I wouldn't even
hesitate
this man
yeah so she
has got kids
and she's really struggling
financially
she's a struggling writer
but she's struggling
to write
amongst all the turmoil
that's in her life
and she has a meeting
with her editor
and they're discussing
her book
and a woman over here
is at the other table
they're like a Panera
and
there we go
yeah they're at a Panera
and she over here
is she thinks
that she's a hit woman
like the woman
thinks that Finley's
a hit woman
and she like
offers to pay her
for Finley
I've got to try and
like not get this
finger in the skin care
for Finley
to kill her husband
and
it is just
so readable
right
I'm just loving the writing
I just wrote
the hundred pages
like without stopping
I was just so into it
I have not been that
into a book
for a while
there's just something
about the writing
that's just so
I don't know
easy to read
and enjoyable
I really like
Finley as a character
I think
the financial situation
that she's in
simultaneously feels like
something that a lot of women
go through
but also
could drive you
to commit murder
for hire
well it doesn't
burn overnight
it's not a miraculous
what did you say
murder
like if I was
in that position
you know
and
my ex-husband
was like a ----
had cheated on me
I had no money
he was threatening
to get full custody
of my kids
yeah absolutely
I'm not letting my kids
move in with that guy
absolutely not
I'm gonna commit murder
for hire
what do you think
like
so I don't know
I really am enjoying that
and
I'm a little bit shocked
at how
quickly we've got
to the point we have
I'm not gonna say anything
but I'm a hundred pages in
so I feel like even
I feel like always
the first third of a book
is kind of
not spoilery
to tell you what happens
but I'm not gonna tell you
what happens
but some books
I need to tell you
only like the first 20 pages
some books
you probably have to give
like the first 80 pages
of the book
to make it make sense
you know depending on how
quickly the plot moves
I'm kind of
I'm like where do we go
from here
where do we go from here
also her
like ex-nanny
for the kids
has kind of
is prominent
in the story
now let's just say that
Vero
who I think they're gonna
have a really interesting
dynamic throughout the book
I wasn't expecting her
because like the first
50 pages I would say
she's like not in the book
really
and she just like appears
and kind of gets involved
with the story
and I'm really interested
to see their dynamic
throughout the book
I think they could have
a really interesting dynamic
so I'm loving it
but we're not surprised
we knew it was gonna go
this way
I'll check in with you
when I'm
I don't know
like two
two
I don't know
it's like 220 pages in
something like that
I'll check in with you
I'm gonna go ahead
and just finish this book
today
I'm obsessed
but we knew I would be
but it's you know
it feels like at the right time
everything happens
for a reason
I am on page 220
I'm gonna finish this
right after I film
this clip for you
um yeah
on page 220
Philly Donovan is killing it
I'm still loving it
no surprise
I'm getting five star feelings
I feel like we all knew
this was gonna happen
I'm also so excited
already to read
the rest of the series
I think there's three
out now
isn't there in total
and I'm already
just so excited
to continue on
with the series
I need to get the second
one straight away
like I'm
I'm ready
the floodgates
have been opened
I will say though
Finley
girl
she's making
my heart
if this is not
good for my blood pressure
not good for my heart rate
not good for like
any of that stuff
hang on
my laptop just went off
because Finley
is so stupid
I don't want to
spoil anything for you
I'm trying to think
of how I can talk
about this
in a hypothetical
but let's say
let's put mild
spoilers up on the screen
right okay
so let's say
if someone
hypothetically
this is like mild
spoilers
mild mild
spoilers
for the book
well
you kind of know
what direction
this may be taking
from the synopsis
okay whatever
all I'm gonna say
is hypothetically
if someone's gone
missing
okay
and you may have
something to do
with that
and you've got
their phone
and you've had
their phone
why would you
put their phone
back in their car
to be found
when
if the person's
missing
their phone
could just be
with them
that can be
explained very easily
the phone's gone
missing
do you know
what I mean
I watched the whole
Alex Myrtle trial
recently and I know
they can track
the phone
they've got the
phone towers
they've got graphs
on where the
phone towers are
so where you were
and they have
science on this
on like if it
pinged off this
phone tower
it has
an 80% chance
of being here
and your car
they can track
like your whole
car's movements
I'm not sure
if this is like
every car
if she maybe has
an older car
that he can't deal
with I don't know
but like in this
case they could
track at every
point in the road
how many miles
an hour he was
going
if you don't
follow this case
there was like
he's accused
of his wife
and son
and his wife's
phone was like
found down
the road
ages away
at one point
and so they were
trying to prove
whether he chucked
his wife's phone
out of the car
and they have
data on like
when a phone's
screen is turned on
they can find out
like when you lift
the phone
if the phone's
screen turned on
they have data
on that
and it's like
Finley
you are
girl
we're screwed
out here
like she's
stressing me
the ****
out
oh my god
I've watched
enough of this
to know
you just better
hope no one
no one
looks at you
funny because
that's got to get
a sip of water
so yeah she's
stressing me out
but I'm still
loving the writing
I'm loving
oh my god
any moment
that Stephen
her ex-husband
gets like
I'm like
obsessed
it makes me so
happy
not he isn't
he's not dead
but like anytime
he gets his
comeuppance
even the slightest
way I hate
this man
my god
still love her
and Vera's
relationship
oh my gosh
I'm obsessed
I love it
so I'm gonna go
finish it
and I'll speak to
you a bit later
with my thoughts
it was five stars
not a surprise
that leaves
Gavin
on
eleven and a
half
points
if I'm doing
my math
correctly
eleven and a
half points
so that's how
many points
he has
which puts him
here
on the leaderboard
so not
you know
not to be sniffed
at
not a bad
showing
to be honest
two super
high ones
right
a 4.5 and a
5
like two
really successful
picks
just let down
by
confessions
yeah
this was just
so fun
I mean
everyone's told
me like
forever
that I'm
never gonna
love it
and I did
we knew this was
gonna happen
I am so excited
to continue on
the series
I need to get
my hands on
number two
ASAP
I loved it
I thought it
was so fun
I didn't feel
like the twists
were predictable
I loved all
the characters
in this
it just
I love
I really enjoyed
Big Little Lies
and I really
enjoyed this
I do enjoy
women
I do enjoy
like suburban
women
and murder
but I like it
when there's no
men involved
the men ruin it
for me
I hate when the
men come into
play
so I feel like
in both Big Little
Lies and this
the men aren't
really in it
you know
she's a single
mum
yes her
ex-husband's
in it a bit
but like
not really
so I like
suburban
women
and murder
but no men
no men
thank you
there's also
a love triangle
in this
which I've heard
a few people
mention but
not a ton
but yeah
there's a
love triangle
in this
and I actually
like the
love triangle
and I don't
I feel like
it's a fairly
equal
love triangle
well you know
it's not
joined at the
bottom
I hate
love triangles
when it's so
obvious who she's
going to go for
do you know
what I mean
it's like
you know
what's the point
but for this
I don't know
who the
series could
end up with
which I really
enjoy
so I mean
listen
Gavin had a
bit of a
cheat code
by picking
this book
because
it's obvious
that I'm
going to
love it
everyone's been
telling me
everyone's been
waiting for this
moment
I would finally
read it
but I read it
so fast
and I loved it
and it was so
readable
the writing
was great
I have a few
questions about
the realisticness
of
publishing
industry in
this
the fact that
she's expected
to write a
whole draft
of a book
that's like
hand in a
ball to her
editor within
30 days
like that's not
that realistic
but other than that
I was able to
suspend my
disbelief and I
really enjoyed it
so yeah
two massive wins
I would say
two books that I
really really enjoyed
this one we knew
I would
this one I did
not expect to
enjoy as much
as I did
it was just
such a fun
thriller
but unfortunately
Confessions wasn't
for me
it wasn't for me
I'm so sorry
but we live and
we learn
not everything can
be a win
this is a win for
so many other people
I know
but it just wasn't
it for me
but I feel like
on the whole
Gavin did really
well
like I said
if this had been
like a 3.5
right
he'd be almost
he'd be second
behind Mara
because he had
two super
successful ones
just one book
that was let
down
so yeah
I hope you
enjoyed the
return of
Booktube Twintest
I know I did
I forgot how
fun these were
to make
so if you guys
have any
booktubers you
think I have
a similar reading
taste to
who you'd like
to see
featured
don't comment
on this
video

won't be
drawing from
