The past few days has been wave of sickness days. I thought we were going to be done with all this coughing and sneezing and throwing up now that spring has actually sprung. But, alas, it seems that is not what the cosmic forces have in store for me. This has been the most sickly winter we have had in a long time. Possibly ever. It all started after we ate at Harvey's so the only conclusion I can come to is that we should eat at Harvey's again and that will bookend the sickness and we will be all done with that. Seems like a win-win to me!
Synopsis
This follows the tale of Mia, a twentysomething from Chicago. She is kidnapped. The tale is told from three different perspectives Mia's mother, the detective in charge of finding her, and her kidnapper. It is quite the psychological masterpiece.
My Thoughts
This was a really good read. I found I kept on wanting to read, which made for a few very late nights.
The characters are very diverse but believable. I love that the story is told from different vantage points. It is neat to get the different perspectives and views of what is really going on. I felt sort of invested in the characters and would love to see what their lives are like now that this part of their story is over. I also liked how the book is a mishmash of before and after. At first it was a bit confusing but, you get used to it and it makes for a brilliant telling of this story.
Books like this make me so happy to be living a relatively normal, simple, happy life where mind games don't abound and we don't feel like we have to fit in or perform to a certain level.
If you are looking for a great psychologically thrilling book I would highly recommend this book. It was great!
