The American Girl: A disturbing and twisty psychological thriller by Kate Horsley

4.0

This book had me hooked by page 40, I just had to know what happened. You think progress is being made and then halfway through things get completely crazy! The ending was satisfying though with all of the mysteries resolved.
Quinn is an American exchange student living with a French family. She has just woken up in hospital after a hit and run with no memories and her exchange family are missing. Molly is a journalist who takes an interest in Quinn's story and rapidly becomes more involved than she intended.
The story is mostly told from Molly's point of view, with excerpts from Quinn's blog and video diary spaced out throughout the book giving us a look at things from her point of view, while slowly revealing more of what happened.
This book is really well written, getting you invested in the lives of it's characters. At times you want to scream at them for being so stupid, at others you are cheering them on, always you want to know what on earth happened! It is a perfect mix of mystery and creepy goings on.
