Wow wow wow- this one moves at breakneck speed! I need a couple of days to think about it but I’m hovering around 4.5 stars. If you like first person storytelling and morally ambiguous protagonists, this might be for you! It’s dark though- fair warning!
Back with more coherent thoughts- This is one of those books where you’ll want to have time to sit down and read, because once you start I can guarantee you won’t want to put it down. A 6 year old girl goes missing and 12 years later, she is reunited with the family. The perspective bounces between the girl (now 18) and her family members. I loved this angle- I hadn’t considered what actually happens in the family after you get that happy reunion. If fast paced thrillers with unreliable narrators and creepy families are your thing- I’d recommend this. (TW for child abuse, reference to sexual assault).
