Anna’s daughter, Julie, is kidnapped at 13 years old. Now, eight years later, she has returned. But her story isn’t adding up.
This book is told from multiple perspectives, between Anna and the multiple personalities/names that Anna’s alleged daughter has used.
I didn’t care for this book. I felt it dwelled in places it shouldn’t have and introduced far too many characters without really introducing them. Multiple timelines and narrators adds depth to stories, but I didn’t like how it was done here.
