4.0

Read this book in two connecting flights on my way to England, it had me gripped. The mood is very specific, it's like it's all happening behind a windowpane and yet you can't look away as the story unfolds. None of the characters feel flat, even the ones that dont immediately have clear motives or stories.

I liked that that the supicions built are all true, but that the truth is even more gory & complex than imagined.

This book was so good!  A brief synopsis: three sisters go missing when they’re kids and reappear after a month with no memory of what happened.  Then ten years later, the oldest sister, Grey, goes missing and Iris and Vivi have to find her and figure out what happened to them during the month they were missing.  
It was so hard to put down this book especially when I got to the last 8 or so chapters.  The dark fantasy aspect of it was so intriguing and unlike anything else I’ve ever read.

There is a brief mention of suicide and murder throughout the book, and at times murder is described in detail. There is also body horror, so don’t read this if that is something that deeply disturbs you!
