Ten women‘s stories as they relate to the before and aftermath surrounding the death of young girl in a coastal Mass town
Not a popular opinion, but I just didn't get the jest of this book. It's supposed to be a mystery, but I must of missed the mystery. To me it was more women's literary fiction than a mystery. 2⭐

Another victim of the time of the year, I think. The story is set up to be chapters from ten different females about the death of one particular teen. Keeping up with the various characters felt like a task that I‘m just not up for currently. I made it halfway through. November-ish, I might try again when my brain can focus and I‘m open to the sadness that seems to encompass these ladies. I didn‘t hate it, just didn‘t care about it.
Highly recommend this book about a high school girl who dies at a house party. We read ten stories, each narrated by a girl/woman who knew her, and by the end we feel as though we knew her, and we have a feeling for what led to this tragedy. Each story feels very private, as though we‘re reading the author‘s diary. It‘s the kind of book that stays with you.
Oops…flailed around a bit this morning and accidentally spilled my coffee on the edge of this library book. I can really amaze myself with my ability to jack some shizz up 🫠😵💫But I‘m really liking it, so I hope they‘ll at least let me keep it if I have to pay for a replacement. 🤪
This book hinges on the death of a teen girl who dies suddenly, but it‘s not a murder mystery. Each chapter is dedicated to a different woman., exploring her life before (5 chapters) or after (also 5) the central death. Parts of it are terrific, but I found it uneven and felt it didn‘t quite come together as a whole. Between pick and so-so for me.
