The story is a mystery of a young girl drowning, but along
the way we discover there are other unresolved mysteries that need to be explored. I love the way Joshilyn Jackson writes
her stories. You are drawn in and you can't figure out where
she is leading you. The endings are always a surprise and you
wonder why you didn't see it coming.

I loved this newest book by Joshilyn Jackson. Unexpected turn of events. Full of little plot twists and turns that Jackson is so good at! This was a page turner...I read this book in two days!

My book group read this and it was almost painful. It is slow and full of pointless information. I was so grateful to have finished it and it was over. No one really enjoyed it.

Audio book narrated by the author. This is a modern-day Southern Gothic novel, full of wonderfully eccentric characters, as well as family secrets, dark undercurrents of poverty, alcohol abuse, and illicit sex. As is usual in Jackson’s books, there are competing motives at work. Characters behave in an apparently bad way for good reasons, or in an apparently good way for bad reasons. This keeps the reader guessing as to what is really going on. I was surprised by the way things turned out; though I did think it was a little too convenient an ending.

I enjoyed it, but would not recommend it for a book club discussion.
