Juniper Lemon's Happiness Index - Julie Israel I Believe In A Thing Called Love - Maurene Goo Lucas (The Preston Brothers #1) - Jay McLean These openings sure do make for a compelling read. The opening also reminds me of The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly (review here ) in the way the main character, a girl, is brought in from the wreckage of something far more sinister but is again reluctant to share everything that happens. The formatting and narrative in doing that is something I hugely enjoy - it takes away from the monotony of straight forward storytelling and instead breaks up the story into digestive past and present chunks, bringing you as much information as possible to keep you interested but keeps enough from you, to keep you going. I’m extremely partial to books opening with an interrogation - as I loved with Kids of Appetite (review here ).
I will plant it in my favourites shelf, and it’s a work of fiction that though I won’t find myself reaching for to read over and over like with other favourites - it will still be important to me in the story it told and the creepy but hooking way it did. This was such a haunting book, nothing like I’ve ever read before and I’m doubtless it will stick with me.
