The Good Daughter by Laure Van Rensburg
4.0
Abigail lives in the New America Baptist Church community, isolated from the outside world. When she survives a fire that destroys her home, it leaves many questions unanswered about what really happened.
A tense read that will keep you engrossed until the very end.
To me the sign of a good book is one that really makes you feel something. The Good Daughter absolutely nailed it as the idea of people being controlled within the community enraged me so much. It felt like a lot of research had gone into making this story feel believable and that really shines through in the writing.
The vivid descriptions of the characters and settings worked perfectly. There were some really tense moments where I was completely absorbed, so much so that the sound of a notification on my phone made me jump a mile! I would definitely recommend reading this with no distractions.
The Good Daughter is a book not to be missed.
Thank you NetGalley and Penguin Random House for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
