The Quarry Girls

In our neighbourhood, the problem wasn't the person who made the mistake; it was the person who acknowledged the truth

Small town Minnesota 1977 and it's a summer that will change the lives of Heather, Brenda and Maureen forever. This is a story about secrets and trust. Who do you trust? Your friends or the grownups who are meant to protect you?

This is as good as any thriller I've read this year. The author perfectly capturing that period of flux between childhood and adulthood where everything behind you is safe and familiar, and everything ahead of you is unknown, exciting and slightly terrifying.

This book just wasn't for me. It kept triggering me to the point of almost did not finish. The writing style wasn't bad but the triggers for me bothered me too much to enjoy.

⭐⭐⭐ – Love this cover!

I mostly enjoyed this one. It kept me hooked and turning the pages. That said, I also found it quite predictable. I had most of the story figured out very early on. However, that could be because it reminded me of a book I read a while back (can't remember the name) that had a similar plot. In any case, like I said, it was an enjoyable way to pass a few hours!
