Dead Girls Don't Talk
Two girls. One dead. One disappeared. Whose side of the story will you read first? Which one is the truth? Choose for yourself in this twisty novel of psychological suspense from TikTok sensation Sandra J. Paul.
How could things have gone so wrong between Syl Jameson and Viola Harrison?
Syl and Viola are like sisters growing up in the small, stifling town of Love Hill. Though they are as different as light and dark, they connect. And for Syl, Viola’s family is a warm refuge away from the unaffectionate place that Syl calls home. But the reality is Syl can get a little needy and jealous. Viola can get a little toxic. And, like everyone in Love Hill, they have secrets. Eventually their friendship is bound to snap.
One night, it comes to a crashing end. Syl is found dead behind the wheel of Viola’s car, and Viola is nowhere to be found. Lucky for Viola, dead girls don’t talk. Or do they?
In this enthralling dual narrative, there are two sides to the story. Which girl’s version to read first is up to you. Whatever the choice, the truth will reveal itself in the end.

I had a really good time with this one. The flipbook concept immediately caught my attention, and honestly? It was such a fun way to tell the story. Getting two sides of the same events constantly had me questioning who was telling the truth and whether I should trust anyone at all. I spent most of the book coming up with theories, changing those theories, and then abandoning them entirely five chapters later. The story kept me engaged from beginning to end because there was always another piece of information that made me reconsider everything. I did spot a few small mistakes here and there, but they were minor enough that they never pulled me out of the story. As for the characters, Viola tested my patience on multiple occasions. Syl and Lila deserved so much better than having to deal with the fallout of her behaviour, and I found myself feeling increasingly frustrated on their behalf. What I enjoyed most was the tension and uncertainty. This is not a book that relies on massive, earth-shattering plot twists every other chapter. Instead, it slowly reveals the truth, keeps you guessing, and makes you question what really happened until the very end. Overall, a suspenseful and entertaining read with a unique concept, compelling characters, and enough mystery to keep me turning the pages long past the point where I should have gone to sleep.
