A review by hannahwishart
Girl A by Abigail Dean

3.0

This had a realistic true-crime feel. It was engrossing and dark. We have seen real-life instances where religious paranoia and coercion have led to horrific instances of abuse and that is what this book is based on. It was interesting to see it unfold. 
I found the storyline and characters to be too vague at points - there were certain characters that I wasn’t entirely sure who they were, non-linear timelines, and various loose ends. 
While it did hold my interest, overall, the story seemed very detached and it felt like it should have been a lot tougher to read and digest.
