*mug for all you who got through this novel in one piece 👏🏻
Rating:4/5
Synopsis:
"More than twenty years ago, Claire and Lydia’s teenaged sister Julia vanished without a trace. The two women have not spoken since, and now their lives could not be more different. Claire is the glamorous trophy wife of an Atlanta millionaire. Lydia, a single mother, dates an ex-con and struggles to make ends meet. But neither has recovered from the horror and heartbreak of their shared loss—a devastating wound that's cruelly ripped open when Claire's husband is killed.
The disappearance of a teenage girl and the murder of a middle-aged man, almost a quarter-century apart: what could connect them? Forming a wary truce, the surviving sisters look to the past to find the truth, unearthing the secrets that destroyed their family all those years ago . . . and uncovering the possibility of redemption, and revenge, where they least expect it." -Amazon.com
What I thought about it:
This was my first book from Karen Slaughter (that can’t be her real name!) and I heard her novels could be gritty, but I guess I didn’t appreciate how much! 😬 And this was ROUGH. It was a well-written twisted crazy story but rouuuuugh. The details were too much for me and to be honest, my eyes were half closed for half of the book. I happily skimmed the details because the details were too upsetting.
I’m rating this a 4 because over all, it was a fantastic book. Slaughter (can’t be her real name!!) has an incredible imagination and a twisted way of telling a story that you don’t want to be true. I’m still feeling the pain from reading this one!
It was well done, but proceed with caution⚠️ if you want to read this one. Heavy description of gruesome acts that young readers should not be reading.
