To be honest, this is really a 2.5 star book. It was okay, easy enough to read so I kept reading, but I wasn't sold.

This was an interesting story-line linking the past with the here and now. Such a well written book about young friendship, love and coming of age and how the past can haunt us. It was beautifully written and moved effortlessly from past to present and back again without losing the plot. I loved the poetic writing with emphasis on prose and style. The words were so beautiful and there were so many secrets which weren't revealed until the end of the book and they took me by surprise.

A beautiful book on the inside with a gorgeous cover on the outside. I loved the characters the setting and the story. It was something different yet held my interest until the last page. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting a moving read that leaves you wanting more. Thank you Louise Douglas for such a beautiful, agonizingly poignant book...I look forward to reading your others.

I'm starting to think that Louise Douglas is a one-hit wonder for me, and that's a bummer. I really enjoyed The Secret by the Lake, begrudgingly finished and had many, many gripes about Your Beautiful Lies, and got about 50 pages into this book and realized I had no desire to continue. Nothing about the story was pulling me in. I wasn't connected to the characters, I don't really want to find out what the big "mystery/reveal" is because I simply didn't care. So I rage quit.

My first DNF of 2020...whoops.
