The Last Good Day of the Year by Jessica Warman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Summary by Goodreads:
A new powerful thriller from the globally-embraced author of Between.Ten years ago, in the early hours of New Year’s Day, seven-year-old Samantha and her next door neighbor, Remy, watched as a man broke into Sam’s home and took her younger sister, Turtle, from her sleeping bag. Remy and Sam, too afraid to intervene at the time, later identified the man as Sam’s sister Gretchen’s much older ex-boyfriend, Steven, who was sent to prison for Turtle’s murder.
Now, Sam’s shattered family is returning to her childhood home in an effort to heal. As long-buried memories begin to surface, Sam wonders if she and Remy accurately registered everything they saw. The more they re-examine the events of that fateful night, the more questions they discover about what really happened to Turtle.
Master storyteller Jessica Warman keeps readers guessing in this arresting page-turner.
My Review:
I had nightmares after I finished this book last night. I can't say that this was the best written story, but it was engaging and scary enough that I did not want to put it down. The ending was definitely surprising to me and freaked me out. I know there are kids in my school who will love this story and I will be book talking this one right away! A huge thank you goes out to Net Galley for giving me this ARC.View all my reviews
