Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll

 



 

Inspired by the real-life sorority targeted by America's first celebrity serial killer in his final murderous spree. It takes on the story of Ted Bundy and is told from the perspective of a student who survives a horrific attack on a sorority house in Tallahassee, Florida. He attacked two others and killed two women.

The survivor, Pamela Schumacher, 21 years old, is a chapter president, she's the only one who saw the intruder. She was able to give a good and strong description. It was not long after, Martina Cannon, a woman in a different state claimed that the suspect was the same man who had a prior history of escape after being convicted of kidnapping and awaiting trial of brutal slaying.

The case was strong, but the DA couldn't be bothered with anything approaching justice until he started killing again. The MO didn't fit though but I am not a person who needs a happy ending in a book. The book utilises a dual pov with the story being told by the two main characters: Pamela and Ruth Wachowsky.  I was struggling to get through the book, as it is slow-paced although shows fairly character-driven.

Snail by Minu Kim

 



I think it's not easy to comprehend the story. Looking at pictures and talking about related examples is a way to explore the issues that can arise. When it comes to sibling rivalry, as parents we must have a way that suits our children. Some are used to slow implementation and others may struggle to understand the issues.

Snail or tortoise is a popular symbol of struggling group in our life chain. Despite our slowness, the most important thing is that you're learning a new thing.
