I could not get into this book and I found the writing style hard to read. The no quotation marks made it really difficult to keep conversations straight and I was constantly having to reread them.

Grist Mill Road opens with a pretty graphic scene involving Hannah being shot repeatedly with a BB gun. If you don’t like graphic violence then definitely skip this one. The book then switches between 1982 and 2008 and between the 3 characters. Some chapters are written in the first person and others in the third and it just didn’t seem to flow very well. I also found the 2008 chapters so boring that I either zoned out or ended up skim reading. I didn’t connect with any of the characters which in turn made it difficult to care about their story. It’s such a shame because the synopsis sounded so interesting. Don’t think I’ll be reading more from this author in a hurry

Thank you to NetGalley and Headline for a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review
