Sophie Reads: Dark Places by Gillian Flynn


Hey Everyone!
I hope you are all doing well! Today, I have another exciting book review for you all! This Sophie Reads is Dark Places by Gillian Flynn. She is the author of Gone Girl which I have also read and I had mixed feelings about. But I have heard about this book for quite sometime and I was curious to see what it was about. Let me just say that this book is not a joyous book. It is extremely dark and it makes you think and question every little step that the main character, Libby Day makes.    

                                                                  
Summary:
Libby Day was eight years old when her mother, and two sisters were brutally murdered. Her older brother, Ben Day was convicted of the brutal murders. Twenty-five years later, a club called the Kill Club has asked Libby Day to look back on the horrible tragedy.  The Kill Club believes Ben is innocent and someone else is the murderer. Libby goes on a suspenseful journey to find out the truth of that fateful night.

Overview:
Throughout this whole book, I was constantly feeling a sense of dread. This book was fast pace, intense and at the end, the reader would never expect what happens. Personally, I think I liked this book a little bit better than Gone Girl. The reason why is because it was a murder mystery. This book is not a book to read at night honestly, because it is so dark and morbid. But it is a pretty fast read because you want to know who is the killer? Was it Ben Day? Or someone else.
What I also enjoyed about this book was you never really knew what was going to happen. A different twist than Gone Girl and I think that is why I enjoyed Dark Places instead.

I hope you all have enjoyed this blog post of another Sophie Reads. I recommend this book if you are a fan of Gillian Flynn but also if you are a fan of a murder mystery. This will definitely keep you on your toes.

I hope you all have a wonderful day/night where ever you are. If you have any recommendations for books please comment! I would love to keep this series is going.

Carpe Diem,
Sophia

Battle of the BB Creams!

Hello everyone! Now as you all can tell, I love the Battle of the series. The reason why is because I can review a bunch of products for you all in one blog post. Since it is summer and not many of you want to wear a ton of make up, I thought I would tell you my favorite BB creams. I also want to let you know that there might not be many blog posts in the month of July. The reason is because I am in college at the moment and I am super busy. I will try to put up as many as I can but I just want to let you all know! :) I hoped you all had a wonderful June! What is a BB cream?    Now BB stands for blemish balm. A BB cream is supposed to have a moisturizer, primer, concealer, skin treatment and foundation all in one. BB creams have been all the rage for a while now but not many people talk about them anymore.   NOW LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE! Round 1: This is the  L'oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream . This BB cream was one of the first BB creams that ...

Must Have Nail Polish for Spring!

Hi everyone! I hope you all are doing well. Now that I have started talking about spring, I am so ready for it!  My last post  was about my favorite spring trends for 2014 and today I want to talk about nail polish! I love nail polish. It makes me so happy when I am writing notes and all of a sudden I look down and see my nails painted in a pretty color. It brightens my day! It's all about the small things in life. Essie's Play Date This color just screams spring to me. This is one of my all time favorite nail polishes and every time spring and summer comes around, this is the first nail polish I put on.  You're Such a Budapest This color is gorgeous. I do not personally own this color....yet! I will be getting it this spring because this is like a lavender/periwinkle purple. This color is a perfect color to transition color from winter to spring. Essie's Sand Tropez  This is another color that I don't own.....but I will. I honestly think ...

First Impression: Sephora Favorites Meet Your Match!

Hello everyone! I am super excited to be doing my first first impression blog post! Yay! Now I got this a while ago but I have not really touched it or played around with it. A first impression is basically my opinion on these products and how I think of them the first time I swatch them, use them , stuff like that. Now this is a value set from Sephora and it is the  Sephora Favorites Meet Your Match .  Now this was pretty popular among some YouTubers a while back and I really liked the products and wanted to try them and it was only $25 for 6 sample size products. Which I thought was a pretty good deal.  Packaging:  I love the packaging. I thought it stands out because of the bright colors and the interesting print on the cardboard. I also love the concept of matching you lip gloss to your nail polish. I thought it was a really fun idea for summer.  Match 1: This is the first lip product that I want to tell you all about an...
