FIRST LINE FRIDAY

Failure to Thrive by Katharine Sweet

Book Review "How to Kill a Guy in 10 Dates" by Shailee Thompson

When horror movie enthusiast Jamie Prescott decided to go to a speed dating event with her best friend, Laurie, she had no idea that their night would turn into a real-life Slasher. To encourage undivided attention on the dates, the night club took everyone’s phones and placed them in a lock box, leaving no way to call for help once the lights went out. As the Slasher expert, Jamie quickly steps into the role of Leading Lady. Laurie is the only person Jamie knows she can trust and it is up to her to get them out alive, but does she have what it takes the be the Final Girl?

"Scream" meets "Scary Movie" with a splash of rom-com. You’ll be on the edge of your seat waiting to see who the killer gets next while also rooting for Jamie to make it out alive and find her true love. Review by J. Palmer
