For Your Own Good
Momma Leighellen's Book Review

Thank you to @berkleypub and @kayepublicity for sending along For Your Own Good. This was a perfectly dark, prep school YA thriller that kept me guessing until the end!  

For Your Own Good gave me all the “Heathers” vibes with it’s dark teen comedy and twisted plot.  You essentially know the whole time who the killer is but you don’t know how it will end or if the person will ever be caught.  The story switches from multiple characters points of view and noone is a reliable narrator.  It makes for a very fast and enjoyable read. 

The story follows a series of tragedies that become a few teachers and students at Belmont Academy. Belmont is an elite prep school, where parents and kids will do whatever it takes to succeed.  Even if it may be morally in the gray area. But what is happening on campus? Is it poison? Is it suicide?  Or is someone taking out the competition?  Maybe it’s even revenge.

Author @smariedowning has done it again!!  Last year I read He Started it and LOVED it. This one had me laughing at times, cringing at others, and scared to use my Keurig ever again. Out now.   Link in stories and bio.
