Two Can Keep a Secret by Karen M. McManus
Did not finish book. Stopped at 3%.

Despite trying to be shocking and its first pages, the main duo did not connected with me. I did not feel in someway related/connected with them and so their personalities are boring to me.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 21%.

Trama so slow and honestly does not happen anything relevant. I got frustrated
