Good reads Rating: 4*
For a good few years I have been wanting to read the book. So I finally picked it up
On Goodreads it has a overall total of 3.83*, from 112,918 reviews.
This is a book I needed in my life. It was an amazing book. Very fast moving but not so fast that you can’t keep up.
*42 pages read*
I’ve said this before that I am not a big lover of multiple peoples narrative in books. Any more than two is far to complicated (yes Jodi Pilcoult I’m talking about your books) but so far it’s been really good in this book. You get both Kate (mum) and Amelia (child/The one who dies) and that what I think is needed at the moment so we can get both sides of the story. I am currently on 42 pages into the book though.
*135 pages in*
I am really enjoying the book so far. I really like how it goes between Kate and Amelia. I like how quickly Kate’s part moves along,
*170*
Ok honestly I cannot put the book down it’s so good. I am enjoying Kate’s part of the book a lot more than I am Amelia’s if I am being truly honest. I think Amelia’s part could have been put in here and there but it’s interesting to see how she changes
*220 Pages in*
I love when you read a book like this, and you have no idea who could have killed Amelia, you can tell right away that she didn’t kill her self (if she did by the time I have finished the book than wow) but literally anyone and everyone that is in the book could be the one to have killed her even down to her best friend Sylvia.
*330 pages in*
Seriously this book is so good, it’s definitely keeping me on my toes.
What I likes about the book is Kate is going backwards I see what’s happened to Amelia while Amelia is going forwards. It’s a book with great twist and turns it’s a book that deals with typical teenage life, friendships, bullying, lies, adults who lie just as much as the children.
It’s a lot better then I imagined it would be, but I did feel bored in some places with Amelia’s side of the story. But it definitely made up for it when you find out what happened to her and the fact that she was closer to family members then you could imagine.
