Convoluted and muddled. There‘s no real resolution to the mystery of the missing girls. In the end, I found the story utterly forgettable.

Book 2/5 done for #marchunshelfing readathon

Clwojick Darn! I would‘ve totally bought this book for the cover alone. Then I would have been extra let down. 5y
Mrs_B @Clwojick I was thinking exactly the same. Such a shame - the cover was so pretty! 5y
wanderinglynn @Clwojick @Mrs_B yes, the cover is what caught my eye to start with and then I thought it sounded interesting. Sadly, it didn‘t work out for me. 5y

This is the book‘s back cover. I‘m 1/3 of the way through. The prose is well-written, even beautiful. But I have a lot of confusion. There‘s a character called Eliza. No idea who she is or what she‘s doing. Another called Samuel, who has a bit more context, but still not sure his purpose. And the main mystery/plot (shown here) has barely started.

Has anyone else read this book? Does it eventually pull together? #confusedreader

Booklover57 Sounds intriguing. 5y
wanderinglynn @Booklover57 I thought so too, but the reality is not quite the same. I finally looked at some reviews on Goodreads and a lot say what I am feeling—interesting premise, but the execution failed. 5y

My hair salon is next door to a local indie bookstore. It would have been rude not to visit the store since I was *right* there. 😉 And of course, it would also be rude not to support them. I cannot go into an indie bookshop and not support them. Really, it would be anti-literary to not support them. So see, I‘m just doing my pro-literary duty. 😂
