Little bit of a change of pace with a mystery/thriller
Buddy read with @booksandcoffee.xo
This book really kept me gripped, constantly asking questions and reading into the night trying to find out what was going on. The end was so good, there were so many twists and turns. It didn’t disappoint
There are a few things still unanswered which is still confusing but other than that i really enjoyed this

I received this book as an Advanced Reader's Copy (ARC) through NetGalley. It will be published February 4, 2020
I really liked this book, I got so caught up in the story and lost track of time. I wanted to know so badly what happened that I found myself staying up late I could read a page or two more. I thought this book was on parr with the Girl on the Train or The woman in the Window, but the main character wasn’t the damaged one. I absolutely loved it!

Great idea. Premise really intrigued me. Sadly the story became so far fetched it bordered on ridiculous.

This was a super good book. Even though it took me a while to read it, life happens, I probably could have read it in a day or two. I would definitely recommend this book.

Beth and Flora used to be best friends until the day something happened. 12 years later, when Beth happens to be in the town where Flora lives with her family, she decides to go and check out their house. What she sees there seems impossible. She spots Flora and her two children, who are not a day older than they were 12 years ago. Beth decides to find out how can all this be possible.
“Haven't They Grown” is a psychological thriller and the first Sophie Hannah book I've read. The plot of the book was twisty and engaging. The whole story revolves around Beth's former best friend, Flora.
At first it was hard to understand why Beth is so addicted to finding out everything at any cost. Also, her theories seemed so impossible, but as the story progressed, I began to understand her more and believe that one of her crazy ideas really could be the truth. Of course, this was not the case, and only at the end did the whole surprising truth come out.
I really liked Beth's character and her determination to help her friend at all costs, even when those close to her beg her to stop. Her daughter also added a lot to the story, and interestingly, she was the only person who encouraged her to find out the truth.
It really was an interesting and engaging book. I recommend it!
