"You Know What You Have To Do" by Bonnie Shimko (230 Pages)

In this fictional novel, written by Bonnie Shimko, 15-year-old Mary-Magdalene Feigenbaum’s life is anything but ordinary. Her name is almost as strange as the fact that she grew up in a funeral home with a mortician for a step-father. It is clear that she suffers from depression and anxiety, so things start to move forward when Roxie, her mother, starts taking Maggie to see Dr. Scott. When Maggie begins to feel attracted to her therapist and lies about her life to everyone around her. Everything starts to take a turn for the worst, including the voices in her head trying to convince her to murder people. Shimko explores what it’s like to be a teenager dealing with regular stresses like school, boys and parents, but it becomes almost scary when you’re in the mind of Maggie. It was hard for me to put down the book since nearly every chapter leaves you hanging with a marvelous cliff-hanger. This book is a great read for anyone who enjoys suspense and a hint of twisted humor.
