In-Between Days by Vikki Wakefield

3.0

"It seemed to me that if people would just say what they meant, we'd all get back half our lives in wasted time" (47).

The mother-daughter conflict is too vague.
The "dying small town" trope works well.
The suicide forest is a stellar plot device and setting.
The relationships that are depicted are consistently unsettling.
The pace matches the character's trepidatious growth and reticence.
Jeremiah is a gem.

These simple sentences oversimplify the complexity of the novel.
