The Conjoined by Jen Sookfong Lee
1.0
There are topics that should make for a thought-provoking book. In this case, the discovery of the bodies of two girls that went missing from foster care system nearly 30 years earlier.
But then an author inserts enough belief-straining melodrama to fill a 1,000 page book, never mind 268 pages, that the book becomes a hot mess (including a chapter attempting to normalize the relationship between a 37 yo man & a 14 yo girl). A wasted opportunity.
