I finished two can keep a secret...

I've never felt more sick after reading the last sentence...

"I thought she was your mother"

WHAT?😨🤢

ezra: would you please not ellery this into a worse situation than it already is?

ellery: did you just use my name as a verb?

[booksanddarkchocolate]

I was watching A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder and the plot is so alike to Two Can Keep a Secret, it’s crazy especially considering the books came out at approximately the same time.

hi hello!! i was wondering if you had any ezra headcanons (from tckas)? i just finished the book and i LOVED it.

yes yes yes i love ezra

he knows that ellery thinks that he's silly for always believing in sadie but in his mind if he can't believe in his mom then... who can he believe in?

he's a big fan of the great british bake off (he loves the juxtaposition of the intense bakes and the incredibly helpful contestants)

he used to watch reruns in california when he and ellery would wait up for sadie to come home

his grandmother teaches him to cook during his senior year and it makes him feel so powerful

he never has to resort to microwave mac & cheese again

he discovers a love for baking pretty soon after he learns to cook and he makes great pastries

he gets on really well with declan

i think he feels really responsible for ellery because she's always moody and he has to be sunny to make sure that she doesn't turn into the next sadie and declan knows what it's like to protect his sibling from things that they aren't ready to deal with

ellery never really bonds with her half siblings but ezra loves them

and they love him

he's such a doting uncle

he instills a love for rock music into his nephew and his half sister is jokingly annoyed about it

he grows his hair out again after a few months of living in echo ridge because he finally feels happy again

he actually reaches out to katrin after the dust settles and writes her a really long email about how he understands the pressure of wanting to make parents happy and he hopes that she is doing okay and that she eventually learns that she's her own person separate of who her father expected her to be

katrin actually responds and they become something similar to penpals

ezra doesn’t go to college

he works for an indie radio station in burlington

he always thought that he would move back to california but he loves vermont so much

and he gets to be near ellery 

he never talks about it but he has always been shaken by the death of his aunt -- just like ellery he can’t imagine being forced to live a life without his twin

he swears off romance while he tries to get his own radio station but the guy he works with in burlington wears elbow patch cardigans and is adorably terrified of rock music and ezra falls in love right on the spot

ez and mia stay best friends for their entire lives

they live together in burlington after college

Book Review #2

Review: Two Can Keep A Secret by Karen M. McManus

I’ll start off this review by saying that this book was one of the BEST mystery book I have ever read. Yes, its not a very long book but the story is great.

I got into Karen McManus’ books by reading One of Us is Lying and its sequel, One of Us is Next. Once I read those two I knew I had to read more of her books and so I decided on this one. 

I absolutely adore the characters. Especially Ellery and Ezra Corcoran, Mia Kwon, and (This guy is my favorite) Malcolm Kelly. These are just a few of some really good characters in this book.

This book starts off with a mystery and ends in a very surprising plot twist. With all the suspense in this book, it took me less than a day to read it. I couldn’t put it down. The book captures your attention right at the start and leaves you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

The book has great diversity, character development, and suspenseful plot lines. I would give this book a five star rating and I highly recommend this book to lovers of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson. They are similar in a variety of ways from a town full of mysteries to a family shunned because of a family member being suspected of murder. 

Read it! I adore this book.

Finished reading Karen M. McManus’ “Two Can Keep a Secret” and it was great!!! :D This one was full of so many twists and some I didn’t expect. Karen bases all her books on previous movies/shows and this one was a mash up of “Nancy Drew”, “The Hardy Boys”, “Veronica Mars”, and other teen mystery type shows and trying to solve crimes while also in high school. At times it also felt like an AU fic for The CW’s “Nancy Drew”, especially for Nancy & Ace as Ellery and Malcolm felt just like them and made a great couple.  Now I’m caught up on Karen’s books till her new one “You’ll be the Death of Me” (based on “Ferris Bueller”) comes out at the end of November and the show of “One of Us is Lying” starts October 7th.
