Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris (Goodreads Author)

I’ve always wanted to try the Teen Book Box that the Glendale Public Library offers, but I’m too old for that. I tried to ask Ale before, but she said no. I asked again last week (April 8-) and she said yes! I was so excited! I’ve never had a Teen Book Box before! Ale is in her last year of being eighteen, so this is the last time we could try it. I think we’ll only do this one time. Once is enough. Ale told me the story of her day (Wednesday, April 17, 2024) today and now I will too to you. She went to school and then she went to Starbucks and she was checking her phone and saw an email saying her Teen Book Box was ready. I have all of the emails forwarded to me. She drove to the library and got the Teen Book Box. That! I loved that part! She wanted to surprise me, and I was really surprised! I thought it was going to be ready in like ten more days, but they worked fast! I will have a blog post complete with pictures soon.

One of the checked out books was this one. Ale liked it the most. She is a fan of thriller books. Ale doesn’t have time to read this book, so I’ll read it for her! I thought that this book was interesting as well.

* The last two pages of chapter twelve (166-167) had me teary eyed. I really hope that Jack doesn’t know about Grace and Mille’s George Clooney secret. That was the part that got me spilling tears. I also just want to say that the narrator for this audiobook CD that I borrowed from the Main Glendale Library, Georgia Maguire, has done an amazing performance. She has a perfect British accent, which suits the story well. I also thought that after Grace and Millie came out of the bathroom back to Jack Millie told him that they took long in the bathroom because Millie was on her period. I thought that was hilarious and very clever of Millie to say. Then the last paragraph where Millie says that she doesn’t like George Clooney has a special meaning now. And Jack said that he doesn’t like him either was really something to laugh at!

* I was sweating and my heart was beating towards the conclusion of this book.

* I had the urge to cry at the very last page in this book.

* This was indeed a blood-pumping thriller book!

* Also, my hand was shaking from the anxiousness of the story.

* I am now very interested in finding out what ever happened to Grace and Millie. I hope they are safe and happy together!
