A review by tmariereads
Gretchen by Shannon Kirk

4.0

15-year-old Lucy and her mom have been moving from state to state her whole life and never settle down. Lucy’s mom is trying to protect Lucy, she was once kidnapped as a child by her Father’s family. They move to a new location and rent property from a single father and girl named Gretchen who is the same age as Lucy. Gretchen is strange. She is obsessed with puzzles and bones and anatomy. She wears the same dress every day. But she is desperate to be Lucy’s friend.

This book is interesting and unique because it has 2 very different plots that don’t seem to go together, until they do. I like what Shannon Kirk did with the story and I was interested and rooting for Lucy the whole book.
