We Came Here to Forget by Andrea Dunlop
3.0
“Everyone needs to believe they would have seen it sooner, that they would've been able to help her. People need this lie to feel certain that nothing like this could ever happen to them, that the Clearys are the stuff of horror movies, rather than ordinary life. The truth is, nothing can prepare you for something like Penny.”
I read this because it was the "Bad on Paper Podcast" book club pick for November. Honestly? I was way more interested in the flashback story line with Penny than I was in the Buenos Aires story line. And I figured out pretty early on what was happening with the Penny story line, so then I just felt like I was reading waiting for certain things to happen. On the podcast it seemed like the hosts were more surprised by some of the twists and turns than I was, so your mileage may vary if you are no a cynical bitch that can sniff out certain plot lines a mile away. I did like the Buenos Aires plot line included so many people getting away/trying to forget and how that manifested.
