Miracle Creek by Angie Kim

4.0

I got this in a blind date with a book from B&N and it LIVED UP to the expectations.

One thing that drew me to this blind date w/ a book was written on the wrapping. It was “realistically flaws characters” and WHAT a truthful thing.

this is a mystery that turns into a well constructed web of emotions and actions that led to a true disaster.

in each characters POV we see why they feel how they do and why they do what they do, and even if they TRY to justify their own actions, it doesn’t change the clarity of what they did and the author clearly doesn’t mean to ACTUALLY justify the acts.

it gets so sad and so realistic, even in the ways that many people don’t want to admit to feeling or thinking because of shame and guilt associated with them.
