Girl A by Abigail Dean

4.0

3.5 rounded up. This is the story of the survival of childhood abuse so traumatic that the mind creates its own protection. Lex Gracie unravels her sordid history as her present and future unfold. The details are shrouded in good story telling such that much is inferred or alluded to which actually increases the angst and tension. I did not give a higher rating because the timeline jumps back and forth which can be disruptive and confusing, but I think this could be reflecting what the protagonist feels in her own life with snippets of the past resurfacing from time to time.
