Meh. The story is an interesting idea and probably the only reason I finished it. The delivery was not good, I found a lot of it unbelievable and badly done. This is not because of it being from the PoV of a child (I enjoyed reading Room), I felt that this just didn't quite come across as realistic and I skimmed ALOT.

My Little Brother Got it For Me
I loved Goosebumps books as a child. When I was much younger, they even scared me a bit. Reading this one as an adult, it isn't as impressive. You see story mishaps, and it becomes painfully obvious that these are just for children. That being said, I still enjoyed this book. It was a great silly read, perfect for an end of the day break. I really liked how 'Slappy' would hop in every once and a while and give his own opinion. For a child who loves these types of books, it would definitely be a much higher rating. Unfortunately, as an adult, I would say my rating fits (maybe I was even a little generous). It wasn't written for us; we won't enjoy it as much. For nostalgic purposes I recommend it.

What a great book. I was already intrigued by the plot: told from the point of view of the teenage child of a female child serial killer? I am here for this!

I wasn't disappointed; the story itself kept me riveted from page to page, and I was sad when it was over (not sad at the story, sad that there was no more to read). Was the story disturbing? Absolutely. But it was also fascinating, and the ending was really quite satisfying.

This review is a little sparse, yes, but that's because I'm being very mindful of spoilers. Trust me, you'll want to enjoy this one all on your own.

Thanks to Ali Land and the folks at Flatiron Books for the complimentary ARC, and allowing me the opportunity to read and review this book!

I have read a lot of Kristin Hannah's books, loved them all, and this one definitely did not disappoint.

This book was well written, and the flow of the story was very satisfying. It's a wonderful, magical story about the love between several pairs/groups: mother and child, father and child, two sisters, and some long-time friends. There was just enough mystery to keep me intrigued and engrossed in the story, and Julia's relationships were well-crafted and beautifully developed.

I did get into the story a little slower than most of her books, I think because the character development was a bit more complicated than others - but I'm OK with that. Once I got into it, it was hard to stop! It's definitely a great romantic beach read and a wonderful escape from reality that I enjoyed very much.
