The Tenth Girl
by Sara Faring
I was led to believe that this was a YA psychological thriller with some horror elements thrown in, but it was in fact a painfully slow, confusing novel. I finished my library ebook hours before it was due; it should not take me 21 days to get through a thriller. There were a few vaguely creepy passages, but nothing was all that scary, and this is coming from someone who has a low threshold for scary things. The “twist” didn’t make sense at all, and felt completely out of place. That type of twist wasn’t earned and cheapened the rest of the book. I would have thrown the book, but didn’t want to hurt my kindle, so I refrained, lol. (This next thought is kinda spoilery but not actually the twist) I feel like the twist was just like an updated version of “it was all a dream.”
Anyway, I only finished it because it’s a book club book, but if I’d had my way, I would have DNF’d this pretty early on. It’s too bad, really, because the premise sounded cool.
