A review by erinbeth11
When She Returned by Lucinda Berry

dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.5

Finished begrudgingly. I had such high hopes but this book just didn’t make sense in the end. Felt like a lost opportunity to see a character heal and grow. Abrupt ending.
