A review by bookishmisfit
The Girl in Between by Sarah Carroll

4.0

I would akin this story to "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" by J. Boyne.
It is a story about some of life's darker things being told from the perspective of a child who does not yet understand them.

The story got darker as it went on and I began to catch onto what it was that the narrator was referencing along the way.

Here, we have a child and her addict mother living as squatters and the emotional traumas that come with such an experience.

It may be a harder read for some, but it is a good read nonetheless. It is a story that really gives perspective to what it is like to be the child of an addict.

The ending has a twist. A twist that I did not see coming. I have to say it was a well written plot twist. Usually, advanced readers can get hints of them along the way but this one truly made the end just...wow.
