For my book choice, I chose Dead Girls Can’t Tell Secrets by Chelsea Ichaso. I chose this book because it is a mystery/thriller book about how a girl, Savannah fell from a suicide point and has been in a coma ever since. Throughout the story, her sister, Piper, has had the theory that her sister was pushed instead. When Savannah fell, she was at a retreat in the woods. Piper goes on the upcoming retreat to reveal the true secrets of her sister injury’s. This seems like a very good story with an gripping plot. I am excited to start this book!
