You all know my gripe with authors who have a smashing mega success with their first book, and then a total and utter flop with their second. I’m talking about Mary Kubica, Shari Lapena, Ruth Ware, and now I’m adding another author to this list — Paula Hawkins. Why does this keep happening?

I don’t even know where to start with why I disliked Into the Water. Note: no spoilers will be in this post. …
I know no one reads the same book. With that said, at any given time, there are always a handful of newly released novels that sing praise holier than thou, and I’m here to put a stop to this madness. Today, I’m giving you my honest opinion on three books that I dub OVERRATED.
