About the author
Laura Jarratt
9 books246 followersLaura Jarratt was born in Salford in the 1970s, the decade fashion should really forget. She remains mentally scarred from the numerous childhood photos of her in very bad clothes, which she blames for her present aversion to having her picture taken. Despite being good at English, Classics and Modern Foreign Languages, she accidentally studied Microbiology at university and then went on to work in education. Laura escaped the city as soon as possible as she becomes claustrophobic if not surrounded by enough green. Concrete just does not do it for her.
She's lived throughout the UK but came home to the North West where she is currently owned by Henry, a ginger cat without a tail, who holds the family in thrall.

This adult debut from Laura Jarratt is much more than I expected. Lizzie is travelling by car with her two daughters, Portia and Becca. They are returning from holiday and have an accident. The car is sinking in a cold lake and Lizzie has to make a choice. Such a horrifying situation -- a nightmare. The author quite cleverly keeps us from knowing the results of Lizzie's decision for quite a few pages. Clearly, there is a long road ahead for this family. The police are investigating. Both Lizzie and her husband Dan find they are under suspicion by the authorities. Both find wonder if their work as lawyers has set up an enemy seeking revenge? Jarratt takes her time as the family moves one step forward, then two steps back in finding answers and healing. The characters are nuanced and complex. Life is complicated, but there is still hope. Includes an interview with the author.

This is a Family Drama Fiction/Crime Mystery. This will take you on a very emotional wild ride. The book starts off with an intense car ride that results in a car crash that unfolds so much. I cannot say more than that because if I do it could spoil something. This book is not an easy read, but I love seeing these characters become who they are at the end of this book. The characters slowly develop throughout this book which is what this story needed. The ending is not sweet or happily ever after, but I loved it. The ending was not what I saw coming, and I felt it was realistic. Great read and I love it so much. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Sourcebooks Landmark) or author (Laura Jarratt) via NetGalley, so I can give an honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

Lizzie and her two daughters are driving home from a holiday vacation on a rainy evening when suddenly a car comes out of nowhere and runs them off the road. Lizzie's car runs into a deep lake and instantly she knows she has to make the most crucial and devastating decision of her life. Which daughter to save because she knows she will not be able to save both of her daughters. How can she choose? Lizzie loves both daughters equally right? Portia is now fifteen years old and little Becca is just eight. Why isn't the driver of the other car coming to help? Was this just a horrific accident or did the other driver want tho kill all three of them?
This was a dark and emotional story which was very depressing at times based around Lizzie's choice and how she suffers through the stages of grief but also her surviving daughter's trauma and also the grief that her husband suffers as well that is just tortuous for all of them and such a sad read. There is a lot of mystery about the driver of the other car and their intentions. The first half of the book is fast paced though emotional but the second half of the story was a little too wordy for me and continued to go back and forth on the same thoughts too often. For as devastating as the storyline was, the conclusion of the book just wasn't quite realistic and I felt underwhelmed. The writing and the editing are very good and the book was definitely intriguing although I felt let down by the time I finished the story. Please remember these are just my personal opinions and many other readers felt quite differently than myself. I recommend reading this book by Laura Jarrett so that you may base your own opinions on such a difficult subject.

What a tragic and heartbreaking story.
Dan and Lizzie are both barristers, with different concentrations. When Dan can't get away from work, Lizzie goes on holiday with her two daughters, 15 year old Portia and 8 year old Becca without him. Portia is more of a daddy's girl and frequently at odds with her mom. Becca has been called their sunbeam and the spitting image of Lizzie. On a rainy ride home they are involved in an accident and Lizzie has to make an impossible choice.
I was really feeling the chill when she kept diving into the cold lake.
Months later Lizzie is still suffering from amnesia and the cops are questioning if she is faking it in order to cover up how the accident really happened.
Dan was a real meany pants for a bit there, but Laura wrote his breakdown very well.
I loved Aidan as a supportive character.
I'm not sure I agree with Lizzie's choices, but who knows what one would do if they were in the same circumstance.
Whenever I read a story about the loss of a child I always thank my lucky stars mine is alive and well. I know that's not always the case for others, so be aware this might be a trigger for some.
This is my first time with this author and I'd for sure give her work a read again.

Two Little Girls is a twisted psychological thriller that will keep you on your toes the entire time. The decision that Lizzie made is one I hope I never have to make . When faced within a horrific tragedy how do you choose between two of your own children? BUT is Lizzie faking her amnesia in order to cover up what really happened the day of the accident?
This is a story you cant really review because you do not want to spoil it for other readers. I will tell you I thoroughly enjoyed it even though I felt as though I was on an emotional roller coaster. Dealing with the loss of a child is really hard to read and might be a trigger for some but this book was so well done and really went elbow deep on narrating the perfect story.
I would highly recommend this five star read.

What It's About:
A weekend getaway turns into a living nightmare for Lizzie, when on their way home, their car veers off the road and into a lake, and Lizzie is forced to choose which of her two daughters she would save. Soon after, police begins to investigate the accident and this adds more stress to her family who already begins to mistrust her.
My thoughts: I have to admit that I went into this book expecting a mystery/thriller kind of a plot, but this story was more than that. It explores the aftermath of a tragedy and what it can do to a family - bring them closer or tear up the family altogether?
I liked the mystery element in the story although it was not the main focus. It did add suspense to the overall plot. This was a more character driven story and I think it was done well. My heart breaks for Lizzie for the very difficult choice she made, and I could totally feel her grief and sadness.
This story goes back and forth between the present time and flashbacks. I was a bit confused with the flashbacks part at times, as there was no indication (or title) that it was talking about the past in certain chapters.
Overall, this was a pretty intense family drama that will break and warm your heart.

When Lizzie’s car crashes she is faced with an impossible situation where she only can save one of her 2 daughters in the car. As she is grieving the loss of her daughter, bad goes to worse when a police investigation starts to look into the accident. Was there more to the story of the car accident?
What a great book! I really enjoyed this quick and easy read. The subject matter grips you instantly, it really makes you think about how impossible the situation was for the main character. I am also a fan of the short chapters, for me it kept the pacing just right. I did correctly guess the main twist, but that did not reduce my enjoyment of the book at all.

This was such an emotional and uncomfortable read. I could not even begin to fathom would I would do in this situation.
The ending is super unexpected and controversial. I did not expect that even a little bit. I could see this book being a great book club pick as there's so much to discuss.
The author did a great job examining grief and how it affected each family member.
I definitely need a reading break after this one!

This impressive debut novel is a very interesting and compelling mystery with very good character development and many twists and turns resulting in a deeply involving story. A child dies tragically and each family member handles their grief differently as they try to move on with their lives. I didn't know where the story was headed and was so devoted to discovering the resolution that it was a quick read for me. I am already looking forward to Laura Jarratt's next book.

Lizzie Fulton seemed to have it all – a successful career as a barrister, a loving husband and two beautiful daughters until their lives irrevocably change after an accident. With such a loss, Lizzie tries to navigate her way through absolute grief while deciphering how and why it all happened.
Narrated from primarily from Lizzie’s POV, the timeline shifts from the present and the past and this structure helps to build different layers of emotions. Experiencing Lizzie’s pain and seeing how the family dynamic breaks down is heart wrenching but also cathartic. As the plot progresses, the cause of the accident adds to the tension.
Interestingly, throughout this book I wasn’t expecting to feel conflicting opinions about the characters, especially given their circumstances. As for the mystery component, I solved that part early on, so the reveal didn’t have much impact for me, but what happens after was interesting and I certainly empathized with the characters. Overall, I enjoyed this story and the human emotional component, as everyone has a breaking point.
Two Little Girls is a story about the pain and recovery of loss. This book would appeal to those seeking an emotional read.

TWO LITTLE GIRLS, British author Laura Jarratt’s adult debut novel, is more than a thriller --- it’s a rolling nightmare that just seems to get worse and worse with each passing chapter until the tension becomes almost unbearable.
At the start of the book, Lizzie firmly states that everything she does is for her two girls. That’s what motherhood means to her. She is spending time with them at the Scottish Borders, bonding with 15-year-old Portia, who is somewhat moody and sullen, and seven-year-old Becca, who is her pride and joy. Her husband, Dan, is a diligent defense attorney who was not able to accompany them.
On their way back home, tragedy strikes when Lizzie is blinded by what appears to be the lights of an oncoming car. She is abruptly driven off the road and into a nearby body of water. The windshield is shattered, and the vehicle sinks rapidly as icy water pours inside. The last thing she hears before they all go under is Portia’s screams, and she realizes that all three of them are not going to survive. Lizzie is only able to grab one of her daughters, and they huddle for warmth, staving off hypothermia. She hopes against hope that a rescue team will come for them before they all perish.
Three months later, Lizzie is being arrested for suspicion of dangerous driving leading to the death of a child. Dan immediately gets his friend, Aidan, to represent her as the thought of her being at fault here is just too cruel to imagine.
Jarratt is very subtle in waiting a bit before revealing which child survived the crash. But if you think she’s done with you, dear reader, you have another thing coming. This nightmare becomes a waking one for Lizzie’s entire family as we see chapters from the point of view of a mysterious outsider who appears to be watching them. Then there are accusations against Dan himself, as well as the many potential enemies he has made in his line of work.
TWO LITTLE GIRLS literally grabs you by the throat and does not let go. Even if Jarratt wanted to step on the brakes, I do not think she is capable of doing so --- and we are all the better for it because this is an outstanding potboiler of a novel. She explains a lot about her thought process when conceiving the story in her Author’s Note, and I especially enjoyed the quote she included from Robert Frost: “I write to find out what I didn’t know I knew.”

A terrific debut novel. One horrible crash leaves a family with just one daughter. For a few chapters readers are left in the dark about which daughter survived. It tears the family apart with each member dealing with the grief and tragedy in their own way. But was it really an accident? Or was someone responsible for the horrific events?
There are many stages of emotion to cycle through in this novel. The ending was really good.
I love,the cover.

The beginning of this had me hooked and I wanted to keep reading to find out what was happening. It was the ending/resolution that I really struggled with. I won’t give away any spoilers, but let’s just say as a mother, I found this to be really disturbing and not at all realistic. That’s all I’ll say on this one.

Thank you to the publishers at Sourcebooks Landmark and Netgalley for my copy of Two Little Girls.
Two Little Girls is a story of loss. When Lizzie and her two daughters are coming home from a short holiday together, an accident changes all of their lives. Recovering in the hospital, Lizzie can’t remember what exactly happened to cause the crash, and now the police think she may have fallen asleep at the wheel. With no way to disprove that, Lizzie will try to move on with her life and forgive herself, until one day, a discovery shows them that the crash was indeed intentional. Desperate to find out what happened, Lizzie and her husband Dan will drop everything to discover the truth.
This was such a sad story of a mother’s loss. As a mother myself, I can empathize with what Lizzie had to do. I honestly don’t know what I would do in her place. I enjoyed the revelations introduced slowly by the author. She did a great job of slowly peeling back all of the layers of their family life. The ending fell a little flat for me, but I enjoyed the journey!

Thank you to NetGalley, Sourcebooks Landmark, and Laura Jarratt for the advanced copy of Two Little Girls in exchange for my honest review.
Lizzie is driving home from a weekend away with her two daughters when her car veers off the road and into a lake, causing her to have to make a horrible choice. When the dust settles and she has recovered from her physical injuries, a police inquiry begins. While she tries to work through her grief and keep her family together, dark questions come into play... Was someone responsible for the accident?
I appreciate how well-written (and at times, utterly heartbreaking) this story was. I think my only true "issue" with it is that there is a lot of references to not only Lizzie's desperation to become a mother but how she is as a mother present day. I'm just not able to relate to that and I think it ultimately caused me to struggle to connect to the story.
The resolution of the big mystery of the story was also so-so for me, but I wholeheartedly appreciated the conclusion of the book. I'm always thrilled when everything is wrapped up nicely with no ambiguity to ponder over.
I would definitely read another Laura Jarratt book in the future, since, as previously mentioned, I really thought this was written well!

Two Little Girls by Laura Jarratt. Thanks to @sourcebookslandmark and @thisisedelweiss for the gifted e-Arc ⭐️⭐️⭐️
When Lizzie survives a car crash she immediately thinks of her two daughters in the car. She only has time to save one.. and has to make a choice which one. In the aftermath she tries to cope with the decision she made but other questions arise as well.
This story examines a woman who made a tragic and difficult decision and has to live with the knowledge afterwards. In graduate school grief counseling was one of my favorite courses. I felt the grief in this story was very true to life. Although I’ve read many books with grief recovery as the plot, this one had such a unique plot which is what made me want to read it in the first place. While I enjoyed the psychology and the plot, the mystery was lacking for me. I didn’t feel an attachment to finding out The Who’s and why’s. Watching the family grow together (and apart) within their grief was the best part of the story for me.
“From the moment they are born, you know it will be their life over yours. Their life over your husband’s, and that is just the way of things. But to have to choose one over the other? The vilest of choices.”
Two Little Girls comes out 5/3.

Admittedly, interesting premise. I wanted to know what really happened but it all went in one ear and out the other (and no, I wasn’t listening to this one). The start with the car crash was really well-written but I honestly skimmed the rest because I wanted to see how to all played out. It went by fast and I felt like nothing really important was happening for most of the book. It didn’t help that the pacing was so weird.

Genre: Domestic Fiction
Type: Standalone
POV: First Person - Female
Rating:
Elizabeth (Lizzie) Fulton’s seemed to have it all until a single decision changed the course of her life. The tragedy slowly unraveled the threads that been holding her family together, and it was up to her to find the truth that could set them free.
I enjoyed the overall storyline and the characters. However, I felt detached from the husband Dan. I also thought the suspense aspect of the story could play out stronger in enriching the plot.
What I liked the most about this book is the various moral dilemmas faced by the characters and how they handled the actions and decisions made. It was a harrowing experience for any family to handle.
Two Little Girls is a story of surviving trauma and absolution. It would appeal to readers who enjoy domestic fiction with the elements of mystery/suspense.

I enjoyed the overall storyline and the characters. However, I felt detached from the husband Dan. I also thought the suspense aspect of the story could play out stronger in enriching the plot.
I’m supposed to want to get better, but I don’t deserve to.
What I liked the most about this book is the various moral dilemmas faced by the characters and how they handled the actions and decisions made. It was a harrowing experience for any family to handle.
Two Little Girls is a story of surviving trauma and absolution. It would appeal to readers who enjoy domestic fiction with the elements of mystery/suspense.

Two Little Girls is a story of the choice a mother makes. Choosing between her two daughters is not only intense for Lizzie, its also emotional for us readers. The story is suspenseful and figuratively I turned the pages on my kindle so fast! But what I want to point out is the author’s talent to capture a mother’s feelings into this story. The ending might spark debatable discussions, but this is a twisted thriller you don’t want to miss! Unexpected hit for me. (4.25/5)

This book turned out to be AMAZING. A definite page turner, I cannot believe I finished about 270 pages in ONE DAY. This book made me feel. I was angry, sad (I actually cried at one part), hopeful, content, and so much more. The authors personal notes at the end were the icing on the cake. Such a great work!!

This psychological suspense had a Sophie’s Choice dilemma. And then it gets more emotional. It drains you in from page one and hold you there until the very end. It’s incredibly twisted but wonderful!

Lizzie and her two daughter, Becca and Portia have traveled to a remote cottage in the Scottish Borders for a week of rest and fresh air. Unfortunately, Lizzie’s husband, Dan, was unable to get away from work to accompany them.
They have had a good time and are now on their way home. In the dark, Lizzie hits something in the road sending the car down an embankment and into a lake. She struggles to get out of the car as the water rises knowing she can’t get both girls out. She grabs a girl and struggles to get out and swims to the bank where she does CPR on her. She tries to get to the other girl but cannot do so. It was Portia that she saved and both Lizzie and Portia were in the hospital for some time afterward, with Portia barely surviving. Three months later and the guilt at not being able to rescue Becca is driving her crazy.
When the police come to her door asking to know why she went off the road, she just cannot remember what happened. They seem to think that she fell asleep at the wheel which she denies. She begins to see a counselor to help her with her grief and guilt.
As Dan is an attorney and has defended some shady people, he and Lizzie wonder if someone from his past could be retaliating against them because he lost their case. The tension that Dan, Lizzie and Portia undergo is about to break them all apart. What happened and why?
This is a taut and emotional story that explores grief and the guilt of not being able to save both girls. For the most part, I enjoyed the story and tried to solve who was after them, but I was surprised. I’m sure readers will enjoy this book.

Holy Smokes! This was one of the most emotionally intense novels I have read. I almost abandoned it after the first third of the book because it was so depressing. However, I am glad that I stuck with it for the provocative and creative ending.
Lizzie Fulton is returning from a vacation with her two daughters when a tragic accident occurs that forces her to make an untenable choice: she can only save one child and the decision must be made in a split second. The grief and guilt she feels is compounded by the suspicious and unsympathetic police who want to hold her responsible for the death and her amnesia surrounding the event. As the story unfolds, the fault lines that existed in the family prior to the accident begin to widen and the family is shattered apart by the emotional toll of their loss.
As previously mentioned, the author displays an ability to evoke the spectrum of reactions – shock, denial, anger, grief, despair, fear and withdrawal – through highly emotional scenes. The characters are not necessarily likeable, but they are truly human in their responses to the tragedy. The pacing kept me engaged, although I took breaks from reading when it became too intense.
The controversial ending is not going to please everyone, but I found it profoundly satisfying. I imagine this novel as a great selection for a book club as it is sure to engender much reflection and conversation. Kudos to the author for tackling a challenging subject with such clarity and insight.

"Two Little Girls" by Laura Jarratt

Women's Contemporary Fiction
Lizzie and Dan Fulton are barristers in the United Kingdom. While Dan, a defense attorney, handles a job Lizzie could never imagine doing, she deals with custody issues. She understands everyone is entitled to a fair trial, but how can her husband get a client acquitted if they are guilty of a horrendous crime?
Though they deal with stressful careers, they have a lovely home and are blessed with two daughters: Portia, somewhat of a typical but sullen teen at 15, and Becca, a precocious six-year-old. Lizzie never thought she'd have another child after Portia, and she endured frustrating fertility trials, which never allowed her to conceive. They decided to adopt, and at ten months, Becca was born to an alcoholic mother who gave up her rights after social services claimed her to be unfit. That's when Becca joined their family.
The novel commences with Lizzie on a getaway vacation with her daughters at the end of October. Dan is too busy to join them, so they go to the Scotland border for several days and enjoy "girl-time." Now, the girls are sleeping in the back seat on their way home. Lizzie dreads the five-hour drive back home, wishing she left earlier so she wouldn't be driving in the quickly approaching night.
"A sudden flash of light ahead catches my attention. There is a flash in the distance, through the trees, but then it's gone. I strain my eyes into the darkness, but there's nothing beyond the beam of my own headlights.
"Odd. There doesn't seem to be another car coming, yet I had the distinct impression that the light came from the trees. Of course, it's hard to say for sure on a road this winding.
"I think I see a shadow moving on the road ahead, and I peer out beyond the light coming from my own car headlamps.
"There is something; I really think there is.
"Yes, there, just there. I can see something moving.
"Something’s definitely moving.
“The shadow comes at me fast, and I pull my foot off the accelerator.
“Lights in my eyes, sudden, brighter-white, blinding. I can’t see. . . .
“It’s coming at me. I can hear it. I wrestle the steering wheel to the side. I can’t hit it. It will kill us.
“I swerve the car to the other side of the road, but I can’t get out of the way. I’m swinging the wheel, and I can’t see. Those lights, they white out everything.
“I jerk the wheel again.
“We hurtle off the road, and something crashes into the windshield. Glass showers me, and I brush the shards from my face with one hand as I desperately hand on to the wheel with the other.
“A low branch hit us, I think. At least it didn’t take out the headlights.
“The road is gone, and the car is careening down a bank, jolting and shaking so badly that I can’t keep the little control I have.
“I’m braking frantically, but the car keeps going. We hit something, and the steering wheel is pulled from my grasp.
“Are we in the air?
“Or skidding?
“'Mum, what the . . . ?'
"I hear Portia's frantic voice behind me as we hit something again, and the car nearly flips.
"No . . . no . . . it does flip. We are flying.
"Nothing above us or below.
"I am flung toward the roof as the car spins silently in the air, and then I smash down in the seat again.
"I realize, as I hear Portia's scream, that we aren't going to come out of this. That my daughter's scream will be the last thing I hear."
Trying not to panic, she realizes the car is plunging into the deep cold water of a lake. Shaken, her first thought is to save the girls, but as the freezing water envelopes the vehicle, she struggles to unhook her seat belt. The water rises quickly as she frees herself and behind her. She manages to grab the semi-conscious Portia and drag her out and over to the bank, realizing her child is in bad shape. Though half-frozen, she again heads into the murky water to save Becca, but it is impossible to find the vehicle; it sinks deeper into the darkness, and she realizes Becca could not have survived this long. Knowing that if she kept trying to rescue Becca, she would also perish.
The next thing Lizzie knows is waking up in the hospital and unable to remember any aspect of the accident. The police question her, believing she fell asleep at the wheel, and they are skeptical about her blank memory. Dan is with her, and though beside himself with the pain of losing Becca, he is relieved Portia and Lizzie are safe.
While Lizzie recovers, she's tormented by grief as well as guilt. Why did this happen? And why couldn't she have saved Becca? Did she consciously choose Portia because she is her flesh and blood? What was she thinking? Though her memory escapes her, she is adamant she did not fall asleep.
She and Dan now have the task of trying to learn the truth. Ready to be arrested, Lizzie is steadfast in her innocence, but how can she prove it? Did someone run her off the road? And was this a deliberate attempt to cause her to crash?
When her car is pulled from the lake, they find evidence the brake line has been severed. Of course, Dan is the first suspect, but that cannot be possible. He loves his wife and his girls. Dan tirelessly plows through his files to determine if a client whose case he lost and had put away was looking for retribution. Or is someone angry at Lizzie for losing custody of their child because of her? This becomes a complex and puzzling situation, and law enforcement proves to be of no help. They don't want to consider some stranger perpetrated this, sure it was Dan, though when he brings them names of those convicted who stated having a grudge against him, they unwillingly check into those Dan suspects.
As Lizzie and Portia recover and are back home, the family slowly falls apart. Portia seeks privacy in her room and is withdrawn, not seeing friends or going out. As they worry about her, their main concern is finding out if someone did attempt to kill them. Will the person try again?
Dan is sure this is a deliberate act, convinced a convicted client of his is responsible, though he's in prison—but nothing can stop anyone from getting revenge if their mind is set on it.
As time drags on, Portia thinks someone is following her, but Dan and Lizzie brush it off as nerves until Lizzie spots someone sitting in a red car—and it always seems to be around. Lizzie tries to be nonchalant to learn this person's identity and why they are being followed. As this family dynamic is falling apart, Lizzie is on to her "stalker."
"Two Little Girls" is a highly emotional tale about the loss of a child and the guilt included with this. Tension abounds, and the author's short, forceful sentences add to the suspense, making one wonder who could be responsible for this heinous crime. When Lizzie learns it, the truth is shocking and unexpected, and Lizzie's reaction to it causes endless speculation. Told in Lizzie's voice, her actions are hair-raising. Also, adding to the suspense, a mystery person, "the stalker," shares comments in separate chapters. This heartbreaking situation makes the reader question: What would I do if this happened to my family or me? How would anyone else handle this unfortunate scenario? The saying, "Don't judge until you're in another person's shoes," proves fitting, and this haunting story will stay with you long after finishing the book.

Thank you for the author and Sourcebooks/Early Reads for my review copy of the book.
I enjoy the first 90% of this book immensely. The chapters are short so I kept telling myself "just one more chapter" and would read way too late. For most of the book, I couldn't put it down. The author did a great job of showing the emotions that the characters were going through. I really felt for Lizzie; her pain seemed super realistic as she grappled with her choice of which daughter she saved and why she made it. I also appreciate how she saw a therapist and the conversations they had. As a mental health advocate, I appreciate how the author handled her realizing she needed help and taking the steps to get it.
Where the book lost me was the last 10%. It became too touchy feely and I struggled to finish it. I'm sure many will absolutely love the ending and it was less cliché than other thriller/fiction books, but it lost me and left a bad taste in my mouth.

Ugh! Such a strong start with a lackluster finish. I couldn't put this book down but by the time I had 10 pages left and realized it was getting tied up in a pretty bow I found myself disappointed and wanting a whole lot more. This one has so much potential but in the end, I think it fell flat. I will say that I think this one has a lot that would make for a good discussion.

A strong start and a nightmare premise. The continual internal monologue, rehashing of theories, and constant questioning of Every. Single. Thing. made this a slog to the end.

3.5 ⭐️’s rounded up!
What an emotional ride this book was. & gosh, my thoughts are so scattered after finishing it. First of all, this will make a great book club selection… there is so much to talk about and there will be a lot of opinions floating around.
The ending of this book will absolutely not be for everyone. I’m not sure it was for me. But, I applaud the author for going there and for bringing out the emotions in me as a reader. I struggled a little bit with connecting to the mystery of the book. I also struggled understanding Lizzie’s decisions at the end of this book after learning about her desperation to become a mother.
Overall, I was flipping pages pretty quickly from beginning to end and I enjoyed the author’s writing style. I’d definitely read another one of Laura’s books in the future and I’m interested to see how others feel about this one.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this one!
