"Not really," I said. "No."
Girl A is an example of where the premise of a book was more, for me, than the execution.
I've had this one waiting on my TBR shelf for awhile. The story was interesting and well-written, but the pacing was off for me.
There are a lot of central characters in the troubled Gracie family that took a bit to differentiate, and much back and forth in time.
It all comws together in the end, though!
Girl A is ultimately worth checking out.
