Girl A
by Abigail Dean
This crime drama follows the story of Lex Gracie, a woman who escaped from her family's house of horrors as a child. Now, as an adult, she is tasked with settling her recently deceased mother's estate and is forced to reconcile with all of her siblings. This book is about a a family torn apart by their past and how the horrors they faced play a role in their lives as adults.
I enjoyed the writing of this book. It flowed very well and I think the author knows how to structure sentences well in order to set the 'tone' of their writing. The writing style played a big role throughout the book and it set up the ending for a great twist, I was quite surprised by it.
Unfortunately the ending was the only plot part I enjoyed. The entire book felt very dull and anticlimactic. There are flashbacks to Lex's past but I don't think these added anything to the intensity of the story. I was expecting more twists and turns but this kind of settled around a 'family drama' type of book.
Overall, I thought this book was okay. The story was interesting to some extent, but just felt very 'eh'. If you enjoy reading about drama and like crime undertones, this is a book for you.
