A review by mistysbookspace
The Roanoke Girls by Amy Engel
5.0
I know I am not going to be able to do a good job at reviewing this book. As you all know by now I am not the greatest at putting into words how I feel about a book I read but I am going to try my best.
Let me start by saying I had heard so many people talking about this book before I got it and all of the mixed feelings on it is what made me really want to read it.
The subject matter of this book is taboo and I can understand why people were conflicted about this story. That being said though I think Amy Engel’s writing is addicting. Once I started this book I couldn’t put it down. I was so engaged in this story I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.
I think the subject matter was handled in an appropriate manner. The author never glorifies it.
The characters were all well developed and everyone of them had their own set of flaws which I loved. Not one character was made out to be perfect.
When you read this book be prepared to go on an emotional roller coaster. You should be cautious going into this book though because there are potential triggers.
I don’t want to give to much away so I am going to stop at that.
Even though the subject matter of this book is hard to digest I found myself sucked into the story and I ended up really liking it.
