A very nearly perfect book. This story captures the nostalgia, joy and heartache that accompanies female friendship at University. Nikki’s timeline felt so vivid and familiar.

The mystery running through both timelines was gripping and really well paced.

I really loved this book and can’t wait to recommend it to my friends.

Thanks to #NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for an early copy to review.

I’m off to listen to the #DollParts playlist

I feel that this book SHOULD be right up my alley and while I did get all the references I couldn’t work out why the writing was so chaotic.

Plath in any book is a good thing in my mind and this book has plenty of potential.

I enjoyed the two main character voices which were distinct and memorable, along with the imagery used. The college scenes felt particularly vivid and the suburban oppression felt vivid.
The Sylvia Plath themes worked to an extent but.occasionally felt shoehorned in.
I did find the narrative felt slightly disordered and chaotic in places and overall the story didn’t quite gel for me.
The twist was well done and cleverly thought out.
Strong themes regarding suicide.
