A review by clairezidich
The Girls in the Garden by Lisa Jewell

3.0

Meh. I like the idea of the book but it could have been so much better! It was painfully slow and dreary but the writing style was enjoyable. I read a lot of crime/mysteries and this book felt like it attempted to be both of those things but never really hit the mark. There was nothing gritty, nothing overly shocking, nothing to really pull me in with anticipation of what was to come. I was prepared for a dramatic ending but that never came either. This could have been an amazing book but it ended up being very forgettable.
