Bury This by Andrea Portes

4.0

“Bury This” follows the events that lead to the disappearance of a girl in a small town in rural America from the perspective of the current day and twenty years in the past. The most striking aspect of the book is the writing style. The prose conveys the perspective of each character capturing their innermost feelings, their self-deception, their aspirations, and the darkest corners of their sole. The perspective often shifts within the same chapter flipping between the view of one character to that of another, which lets the reader re-evaluate what is happening. The style is overall extremely dark and gritty, reminiscent of Chuck Palahniuk. It’s a gripping book that leaves a lasting impression, but it’s certainly not for the faint-hearted.
