“Some Girls Are” by Courtney Summers
Some Girls are was a story of one girl’s fall from “the top” and how she found her way again. I don’t think the similarities (no matter how small) between “Some Girls Are” and Mean Girls were at all a coincidence, including, but not limited to, the main character’s …

Stephen King’s latest novel is the story of the widow of a writer and her journey towards learning to be Lisey, and not just “Scott’s wife” While King’s sense of the macabre is very much present, this is not a really gruesome book like “Pet Semetary” or “Carrie.” It …
