Girl in the Walls

3.5 rounded up for sheer originality. First up, my copy has a sticker on the front that says “A unique gothic story”. This is not gothic, don't be taken in by the cover, its so far from what I understand to be a gothic story. It's a modern mystery, modern house, modern family etc etc. I did struggle with it in some part. I think the short chapters (most of which are just a page and a half) don't help the flow of the book and I found it really hard to connect. Some of the story is really tense (the end bit) some of it is really boring (the middle bit). Overall just a bit meh, but good meh, like when you go into a shop and there's cheap meh and expensive posh meh. Treat yourself to some posh meh!!! bla bla bla.
