A review by dana_atkins
She Was the Quiet One by Michele Campbell

3.0

I really enjoyed the way the author organized the timelines in this one— it kind of starts in the middle while also starting at the beginning. I am kind of a sucker for a book revolved around a boarding school, so I definitely enjoyed that aspect of the novel as well. Even though it’s pretty obvious “who dun it” from the very beginning, the author does not really try to hide who did it, and the novel is more about the psychological manipulation this character was able to pull off.
The reason this could only get three stars for me was that part of it felt almost like it belonged in the YA category. There was also a relationship that I did not find believable in the least which kind of propels half the story.
