Welcome to Litsy!

A little disappointed in this….I thought it was a mystery about a young persons death. The novel is less about the mystery, more about how our actions impact one another. I read this book on the Libby app, it would‘ve probably been better reading in book form as it‘s told by 10 different characters. It was a little confusing remembering who‘s who and flipping through the book would have been easier.

Ten women‘s stories as they relate to the before and aftermath surrounding the death of young girl in a coastal Mass town

Not a popular opinion, but I just didn't get the jest of this book. It's supposed to be a mystery, but I must of missed the mystery. To me it was more women's literary fiction than a mystery. 2⭐

Another victim of the time of the year, I think. The story is set up to be chapters from ten different females about the death of one particular teen. Keeping up with the various characters felt like a task that I‘m just not up for currently. I made it halfway through. November-ish, I might try again when my brain can focus and I‘m open to the sadness that seems to encompass these ladies. I didn‘t hate it, just didn‘t care about it.

Highly recommend this book about a high school girl who dies at a house party. We read ten stories, each narrated by a girl/woman who knew her, and by the end we feel as though we knew her, and we have a feeling for what led to this tragedy. Each story feels very private, as though we‘re reading the author‘s diary. It‘s the kind of book that stays with you.

Oops…flailed around a bit this morning and accidentally spilled my coffee on the edge of this library book. I can really amaze myself with my ability to jack some shizz up 🫠😵‍💫But I‘m really liking it, so I hope they‘ll at least let me keep it if I have to pay for a replacement. 🤪

This book hinges on the death of a teen girl who dies suddenly, but it‘s not a murder mystery. Each chapter is dedicated to a different woman., exploring her life before (5 chapters) or after (also 5) the central death. Parts of it are terrific, but I found it uneven and felt it didn‘t quite come together as a whole. Between pick and so-so for me.
