Happy Publication Day!

3.75 stars

Despite being on my to-read list for years, I'd never read any Megan Miranda before, but oh boy did I enjoy this one.

The Plot:
When Olivia Meyer was six years old she was swept away by a torrential storm while sleepwalking. Her eventual rescue after three days was branded a miracle, but the subsequent media circus and public attention led to Olivia changing her name and moving away. Twenty years later, she begins sleepwalking again and one day, wakes up to find herself next to a dead body, her hands covered in blood.

The Good:

∙ Red herrings galore! Plot twists I did NOT see coming!
∙ Interesting, complex characters.
∙ THAT ENDING. I thought I had the killer solved but Megan Miranda fully shocked me with that twist.

The Bad:

∙ A little too slow-paced at first, but it picks up in the second half.
∙ I wish we'd had more insight into Olivia's relationship with her mother.

The Ugly:

∙ Nothing! I loved this book and will be reading more of Megan Miranda in future.

Thank you to Atlantic Books and Netgalley for sending me this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
