As it gave me a vibe of Gone Girl, where we have this psychological thriller revolving around the main Girl character. She keeps on loosing memory, or may be not. The story is a bit of dragged, and there were many plot holes in it.
As a plot it is intriguing, but for some it can be very overdone. Because of the language, and character's same "things" again n again.
Things that worked out for me : > There is a learning from the book, not about friendship, but I now know there is something called Selective Mutism which can cover up child. I love it when I take away such things from a novel. (extra star just for this) > Friendship between Sophie and Helen. It was pure, and what I think everyone should have. It warmed my heart. > Stating past and present together can lead to a lot of confusion to some people. But for me, it was also a reason to get a thrill. Because I knew there is something bad to happen in the future(when reading past)
Things that didn’t worked for me : > The story felt stretched a lot. There were twist that started from 70th page or so, and it got it’s ending in the last 20 pages. Well by then, we all have kinda guessed it. So it was a let down for me. > Due to past-present the dialogue got mixed. Like it was Emma who was talking, and due to pre-text I thought it’s still Sophie talking/thinking.> There were screens/characters which weren’t actually required, like Emma visits Sophie in Lizard, Melanie & Tom’s love angel. > The Epilogue, this is the first book whose epilogue has the content we are looking for in the whole book. It was the length of a whole chapter, more than what conclusions should read like...more
