Welcome to Litsy!

This novella is told in alternating perspectives of three woman remembering a murder that happened when they were in high school. But the story doesn‘t focus on revealing the killer, though I think there‘re clues everywhere. Chapters read like stream of consciousness, give us insights into the characters‘ minds and I was quite confused with the switching perspectives. The characters are dealing with grief, guilt that haunt them over the years, ⬇️

This was a beautiful little novella about how a teen girl's murder affected her sister and two classmates. It's not really a whodunnit or even really a crime story, it's more of a story about how we process grief and guilt, but there's definitely a little revenge mixed in.

Quick read. Unsatisfying. Puzzling . Hard for me to follow.

The aftermath of a high school beauty murder. I liked the clean writing style & gentle tone. The structure of 3 narrators all in first person took me a while to get into & I found it too oblique at times with things left unspoken & events shrouded in mystery. But it‘s beautifully executed & the characters feel authentic.

We got all the snow! ❄❄❄ While I sadly did not get the hoped for snow day - the library did have a delayed opening until this afternoon! So I'm enjoying a cozy morning cuddling with Chaplin as I read this slice of a book! ❤📖❤ #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #chaplin

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
I‘ve seen this book described as a mystery and a thriller, but I think it‘s good to know going in that 1) there is a mystery, but solving it is not the focus, and 2) it‘s not a fast-paced thrill ride. I enjoyed its focus on the characters and how they each faced what happened, but I felt like it was too short. There was a lot that could have been expanded on, and I kind of wish the author had taken that route.
