Read 'Reconstructing Amelia' by Kimberly McCreight.
This book switches from mother to daughter POV. Here's the Synopsis:
How much would you tell your mother?
Do you really know what's going on inside your daughters head?
Single mother and lawyer Kate Baron is in the meeting of her career when she is interrupted by a telephone call. Her daughter Amelia has just been suspended from her exclusive prep school. When Kate eventually arrives at Grace Hall an hour later, she is greeted by the news that no mother ever wants to hear.
A grieving Kate can't accept that her daughter would kill herself. But she soon discovers she didn't know Amelia quite as well as she thought. Who are the friends she kept, what are the secrets she hid?
And so begins an investigation which takes her deep into Amelia's private world - and into the mind of a troubled young girl.
Then Kate receives an anonymous text:
AMELIA DIDN'T JUMP.
Is someone toying with her or has she been right all along? To find the truth about her daughter, Kate must now face a darker reality than she could ever have imagined.
You amazing person- that sounds so exciting.
I'm half way through Entangled now and enjoying it. Very much. So sad :-( Love it though.
Please tell me anymore you think of, your recommendations have been perfect!
How about 'Pretty Girl Thirteen' by Liz Coley.
Synopsis:
Angie Chapman is only 13 when she gets lost in the woods in the middle of the night.
The next thing she knows she’s returned home, scars around her wrists and ankles, physically exhausted. Her parents collapse into tears when they see her, but Angie doesn’t understand – until they tell her she has been missing, presumed dead, for three years.
Angie doesn’t remember anything from her missing years. But there are people who do – people who could tell Angie every terrifying detail, if only they weren’t locked inside her mind.
With help, Angie begins to unravel the darkest secrets of her own past.
But does she really want to know the truth?
'Reconstructing Amelia' and 'Pretty Girl Thirteen'- I will try them both!
