Having LOVED Darling Rose Gold I was so excited to be able to reviews this book in advance of it’s publication. It’s a taught thriller, written from multiple POV’s. There are many discussions of sisters, traumatic family abuse, feelings of fear and failure, loss and grief. The story winds itself up, culminating at a cult-like self help retreat on a remote island in Maine.
Who is telling the story? Some of the time you think you know and some of the time you are wrong, 😂 I did guess some of the twists ahead of time but not all. This is always when I will give a book the highest kudos, because I am not easily fooled,
I thought the premise was excellent, the pacing from 60%to about 80% is a little sluggish but overall a very solid and suspenseful read.
If you liked Darling Rose Gold and/or you like taught and suspenseful reads with mostly strong female characters I highly recommend this one.
