The Last Secret You'll Ever Keep by Laurie Faria Stolarz
5.0
It took Terra four days to get out of the wishy water well...but will she ever truly be free?
Six months after escaping the bottom of a well, Terra's life is falling apart at the seams. Despite being missing for four days, no one believes her story, as she has a troublesome history with her mental health. With no one searching for her abductor or protecting her, Terra is always watching her back and searching the eyes of every stranger to see if they are the same unique colour she saw that fateful night. As her paranoia increases, Terra's only comfort comes from an online anonymous chat site for trauma survivors, created by a girl who survived her own abduction. When the person she is closest to in the chat site seems to be in trouble, Terra will do anything to help her...and prove her story once and for all.
I really loved this novel. I found the story so unique and hung on to every word I read. I found it very hard to put this book down. I really enjoy books that feature an unreliable narrator, as I am constantly questioning what is true or not true, and I don't know what to expect. I had a few theories throughout the book. Some of my theories panned out, but not quite in the way I imagined. I recommend this novel to anyone looking for a creative, unique thriller with a lot of twists and turns along the way. I also look forward to reading the companion novel, Jane Anonymous!
