Book Review of The Girl Who Lived

The Girl Who Lived
reviewed on


Oh. My. Lanta. Y'all.

You ever read something and you know you are making crazy facial expressions but you you can't help it, even if your eyes are bugging out like a cartoon characters? That was me reading this book.

This book had me twirling in circles with who I thought did it, just like the poor main character. âThe girl who livedâ had her father, sister, best friend and her best friend's mom slaughtered and barely escaped the same fate when she was 13. After 10 years of being in and out of mental institutions, she is determined to look for the killer. The local PD closed the case saying her father killed them in a weird triple murder suicide because he was having an affair with her best friend's mom. The only issue? Faith saw parts of the two men responsible, and was chased down in the woods by them. As she works to figure out who destroyed her life, she struggles to not spiral out of control mentally as everyone around her becomes a suspect.

5/5 this book took me on a ride and I loved it.
