Skeletons by Natalie Rodriguez is a thrilling tale rooted in mental illness and comes across as a fine sequel of its predecessor, Elephant. While Elephant talked about 'the elephant in the room,' Skeletons attempts to elaborate on the secrets thrown under the carpet. It is based on the premise that there are secrets in the closet, screaming and grappling to come out!

🍷After reading Elephant, I was so much in love with the way the concept was brought out so well! This book is definitely one of those books which you can't really leave once you start, it's actually one of those books I was actually waiting to come out and trust me it totally lived upto or maybe more than I ever expected.
