The Confession by Jessie Burton

emotional mysterious reflective relaxing medium-paced

4.5

This book was marvellous! It turned out to be nothing at all like I expected, and I think I loved it even more for that. This book was so engrossing!! It was impossible to read in one sitting, being just over 450 pages, but it was good enough to deserve that dedication. The way the story developed was done so perfectly! I loved the way it was told - in alternating sections of past and present, from two separate POV's which really helped build emotional connections with the characters, even the ones that didn't come across as nice. I found myself completely captivated by this story - by the characters, the settings, the mystery that was slowly revealed. Everything. It was amazing. Much better than I had anticipated. This was my first book by Jessie Burton, and hopefully won't be my last. I fell in love with her writing style. The way she told the story and how the plot developed - wow. It was superb! Loved it!
