This book is an amazing debut novel that I couldn't put down. I was sent a completed copy before publication and I am so grateful that I decided to accept it!
The pace was a tad slow in places but I still kept pushing myself and I was in such dire need to find out who it was that killed 'The French Girl'.
One of the main things that I was thinking during the time I was reading this book is, "when is going to be adapted into a movie or show". Like, honestly, the way that the book is worded would make for an excellent and even more exciting adaptation, whether small screen or big screen.
It has been a while since I have read a suspenseful thriller and I think that this book was the correct choice to get me back into the swing of thing.
This book dug up things from five people's pasts. Six friends went on holiday to France and a young french girl disappeared. Her body turned up ten years later, when everyone on the holiday had seemingly forgotten about it. Even though the title of this book is 'The French Girl', the French girl in question is not actually mentioned much in the story, she just appears every now and then, which was confusing for one main reason. That reason being, why could only Kate see her? They never really had nothing to do with each other which made me think that Kate may have been guilty of killing her all those years ago and she somehow blocked it from her memory. Turns out, I couldn't have been more wrong! I'm not going to say anything, but, if you've read it, you know what I'm talking about.
This book had me hooked since I read the blurb and I can say that I look forward to reading more of Lexie Elliot's work in the future, this is such an amazing debut novel, props to her!
