Nerd Girl Loves Books

I can’t believe this is the author’s debut. The story immediately caught my attention and hours flew by as I kept turning the pages. The book is fast paced and is keeping me guessing about who to trust. The book is told from two POVs and I can’t tell if the narrators are unreliable or not. It’s hard to tell who the good and bad guys are. I mean, almost everyone is a pretty awful person in one way or another. Just when I thought the book was about one thing, it took a dark turn into something completely different. I felt like I was being strung along and just when I think I have it figured out, had the rug pulled out from under me. This is what made it a fun book to read and one you should check out.

This was a fun, entertaining mystery/thriller. The book is told from two POVs, Shelby the main female character and Florence, the elderly lady residing in the assisted living facility that Shelby runs. The book starts out with Shelby interrupting a burglary at her best friend Mack’s business. The burglar locks Shelby in the freezer and she almost dies. On the same night, Mack’s husband Leo disappears. The book then moves forward a year. Leo’s disappearance is still a mystery and Mack discovered that Leo was cooking the books and the family is in serious debt. Things kick off when Shelby finds a threatening note on her car after leaving work at the assisted living facility for the day.

3.5 stars

This was a pretty good thriller that was predictable at times, but also provided a few fun twists. The book has a lot of mixed reviews, but I suggest you check it out for yourself.
