The Lost Girls!

Omg I just finished The Lost Girls by Heather Young! It may have taken me forever to get my hands on it from the library but once I did I couldn't put it down. I read it in two days, mainly while I was at work so if you think about it I read it in 8 hours. Seeing as I only work four hours a day. I never would have guessed that is was the authors debut novel. It was gripping for sure, I knew that a little girl went missing but you have to read the whole book to figure out what happened. It is told from two perspectives, Lucy and her great-niece Justine. It is also told while Lucy was remembering her past while Justine is trying to deal with her future. When it starts Lucy has passed and given her house to Justine. Justine sees this a chance to start again with her two young daughters and to get away from her boyfriend. As the story progresses we learn about Lucy as a young girl when she would come to the summer house on the lake with her two sisters and parents. I won't spoil the ending but there are some underlying issues with the sisters and father. Meanwhile Justine has to contend with her mother and her boyfriend who have both found her. The boyfriend tries to get her to come back to him saying that she needs him and he can't live without her. In the end, Justine finds out what happened to her other great aunt Emily ( the missing little girl) and also finds her own footing and place in the world without her mother and crazy boyfriend. I definitely did not see some of the twists coming in this book that's for sure, and they didn't come until the very end where the author tied up the loose ends very nicely. I definitely recommend this book, and I would like to add it to my library collection as well.
I am getting ready to start In a Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware. I have previously read The Woman in Cabin 10 by her and I really loved it a lot. This was her debut novel and I hope it is as good as her second book. I did some research and she will be having a new novel come out in late July this year I am anticipating this as well. I also heard that Reese Witherspoon will be directing the movie that is going to be based on the book, I can not wait for it!
