Mystery thriller following two women meeting because of a shared history: Erin who was the last child abducted alongside her brother by a serial killer known as Father; and Harriett (whose cousins were killed by that serial killer) who tries to write a book about the victims, and wants to interview Erin as the sole survivor of the killer.
Overall this was a solid book, The writing was goof and I really liked the plot. There was several very interesting twists that I didn't see coming and I actually liked the ending. The two main characters were compelling, I love how they were sapphic, and the relationship developing between them was great to witness. My main criticisms was about the pacing. Some parts felt too detailed with a lot of things told and some of the character's reactions and thoughts weren't necessary to the plot; it didn't add anything, and sometimes felt like they were flip flopping between opposing emotions too quickly. These parts felt a bit boring to read, the plot loosing its thrilling aspect that I even had some thoughts on DNF'ing it. On the contrary I felt the Big Reveal and its explanation was a bit too rushed compared to the rest of the book. I feel the book could have been trimmed in some parts and expanded in others. Overall a rather good book with an interesting plot.
