The Way I Used to Be by Amber Smith5/27/2023 ![]() To answer the second part of your question, I don't think any one form of art is necessarily more expressive than another, but they are very different, and I think the way people interact with them is also different. ![]() And when I got out of college and grad school, I found that for the first time in many years, I no longer had a studio space to create art in, so I started going smaller and smaller with my artwork, incorporating mixed media and pieces of my writing and poetry into the art I was making, until writing ended up becoming my main creative outlet. I always wrote-a lot of journaling, poetry, that sort of thing. It felt like a very natural progression for me, moving from visual art to writing. ![]() I always wrote-a lot of j …more What great questions-thanks for asking! ![]() Amber Smith What great questions-thanks for asking!

Other times I was really emotional, some moments hit hard, like some of the scenes with Anna and her dad during the trial. I was breathing hard with fury several times. Tate, her boyfriend, abandoning her made me angry too. The way Dekker ruthlessly came for Anna, desperate to paint her as guilty and ignoring all the other more likely suspects, infuriated me. Certain parts of the trial made me so angry, and it was supposed to. I felt a lot of emotions while reading Dangerous Girls. ![]() “Wouldn’t we all look guilty, if someone searched hard enough?” The book also has phone call transcripts, newspaper clippings, interviews, etc, to make the trial and media circus around it become more alive. It switches between the “then” and “now”, between flashbacks of both back home and the group’s vacation in Aruba, and Anna’s murder trial. They’re all taken into questioning, but Elise’s best friend Anna soon realizes she’s the main suspect, for reasons she can’t fathom. The book starts with the 911 call (or whatever number they call in Aruba) and then we’re off. They party, flirt, and have fun until they find one of their friends, Elise, brutally murdered in her room. The trial seems real, the characters believable, and it will keep you turning pages until you find out if Anna will be freed and who actually killed Elise.Īs the synopsis says, this book is about a group of American teens on spring break in Aruba. And it’s so good and so deliciously twisted. ![]() The Abolitionist's Secret by Becky Lower5/27/2023 ![]() ![]()
