Many thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for gifting me an audio ARC of the new novel by Hayley Scrivenor, narrated by Sophie Loughran. All opinions expressed in this review are my own – 4.5 stars!
Finn and Daphne form a tight, emotional bond at school when they realize they have a shared trauma; both lost their younger sister to suicide. As they get older and Finn starts a relationship with Magdu, Daphne is jealous, and Finn feels pulled between the two. When an accident occurs when the three are climbing, was it suicide, an accident, or something else?
I was a huge fan of Scrivenor’s debut, Dirt Creek, and loved this book as well. This is a complete character study of relationships, friendships, grief, control. These characters felt very real to me and you can feel the intensity and drama between the three. Told from Before so that we see how the relationships formed and progressed, to Now, when the police investigation looks into the death. The writing is beautiful and the narration just added depth to the story.
