I had the pleasure of reading "The Girls I've Been" for a book club last year. I flew through the book, so naturally I was excited to read "The Girl in Question" and see what had become of Nora, Iris, Lee, Will, and of course Raymond.
Tess Sharpe really did a great job of capturing Nora again and her identities. Unpacking Nora and her background even more, encountering some new characters and an unexpected twist, this was a page turner and once I started I couldn't wait to finish and see what would happen. Factor in Raymond being out of prison set the plot up nicely, and choosing to bring in wilderness, camping, and the outdoors was a good shift in setting for the plot line.
I also appreciated the alternating view points of characters and how it built depth for them. I would recommend readers start with "The Girls I've Been" before jumping into "The Girls in Question", which I think is a given this isn't a stand alone from the previous book. Readers won't be disappointed.
Thank you to NetGalley, Little Brown Books for Young Readers and Tess Sharpe for the ARC. I really enjoyed the fast-paced, humor, and suspense in Nora's adventure.
