annarella 's review for:

The Guilty Girl by Patricia Gibney
5.0

It's not the first Patricia Gibney's novel I read but it's the one that moved me to tears and kept turning pages.
I read it in one afternoon as I wanted to know what happened, why, and the culprit/s
I suppose sometimes I forgot to breath as there's not a moment when the plot drags and there's enough unexpected twists to keep me on the edge.
Lottie is a great characters, she's a bit wonder-woman at times due to her preternatural capacity of multitasking, and I like her. I would he happy to invite her to dinner and get to know her better.
The plot is well crafted, I don't want to explain anything because it would be spoiling, and it made me feel a series of emotions. i appreciated the empathy towards the victims and the fact that there's no pity and not cheap emotions.
The people involved in this stories are all very young. It's a story about very young people. It starts and closes with a BANG.
I loved it and it's strongly recommended.
Many thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
