The Murders of Molly Southbourne by Tade Thompson
3.0
3.5 stars (Goodreads. Please. Come on. Half stars.)
This was really interesting! I could have used more of it but at the same time, I wonder if it was longer than a novella if it would have lost what I really liked about it. The premise was an interesting one, like The Prestige except on accident. It was especially interesting when Molly was young and had so little control over what happened. I found myself less engaged as she got older though.
One thing I did notice is that it felt very much like the story was all something that happened TO Molly, like she was almost never an active participant in anything, even when she chose things it felt very passive. I'm not sure if that was by design or if she just sort of accidentally had no real personality.
I will definitely be checking out the next book as I'm curious about the hows and whys.
