Thanks to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster for the opportunity to read and review this AMAZING book!
Okay, anyone who reads my reviews knows that I'm obsessed with the psychological thriller genre. But this book adds a twist to that genre - most of the story is told backwards!
Nic escaped her small town life in North Carolina for her new life in Philadelphia with a new man and rarely stopped to think about her life before. Until she had to go home again because her dad was in a nursing home and her help was needed.
When Nic was 18, her best friend Corrine basically disappeared after a night at the local fair. As in most small towns, rumors served as truth. As she returns to the house where she grew up, another girl goes missing.
The story begins in the present time, then goes backwards. It starts with the day before, then the day before that, and on until it circles back to the present time. While you might think this would be hard to keep up with the plot, it's done so incredibly well that you have no trouble getting sucked into each day's events.
This is one not to be missed - I couldn't put it down!
