The Girls in the Garden
by Lisa Jewell
Definitely a great summer night binge novel, although I'm not too sure how I feel about the overall story.
Set in London neighborhood of homes that all border a semi-private "garden" which is more like a three-acre park, the story opens with 12 year-old Pip finding her 13 year-old sister Grace comatose and half-naked in a rosebush in the titular garden. What follows is the prior events of Pip's family moving to garden, the neighbors they meet, and how Grace ended up in the bushes. Told from multiple POVs, I was kept guessing until the end. Lots of despicable characters to go around, but still an enthralling read.
