American Girl by Wendy Walker
4.0
What was your first job?
I worked in a local deli making subs… just like Charlie in American Girl ☺️
Meet Charlie: autistic teenager eager to escape her small town life, employee at a sandwich shop saving money for college, and … murder suspect?
When the owner of the sub shop where she works is found murdered, all the employees become suspects and as Charlie tries to protect herself and her friends, she slowly watches her dreams of leaving her depressing town slip away.
This book was all the things … perplexing murder mystery, emotional family dynamics, captivating plot twists, and a most charming and endearing main character. It’s a thriller at it's core, but also an unforgettable story of friendship and finding your people, and that not even a little bit of murder can stop your dreams for the future.
