The Quarry Girls is labeled a Thriller but simply made me feel immensely sad. I didn't want to put it down and thoroughly enjoyed the read but it touched on a lot of deep stuff. 

As you piece together what has happened to the girls who have gone missing you realize the town too many secrets for these children to be bearing alone. 

A lot of potential triggers in this one but worth the read if those won't bother you.

Tragic. Beautiful. Beautifully tragic. There is no other way to describe this book. Heather has you rooting for her from day one as you watch her world change around her. She’s strong, brave, and terrified but willing to stand up for those she loves.
