Latest PICK

The deeper the water the uglier the fish: a novel by Katya Apekina. This book is a journey on its own. You think you may know dark and twisted but wait until you read Mae's side of the story. This book had me so confused, disgusted, and intrigued at the same time. I just couldn't put it down. There's a powerful and interesting take at perspectives; on how the same incident/story could be understood and narrated by different people in different ways. And is it ever really possible to know what "actually" happened or we just keep going believing the versions of tales of people we think we trust.
