This definitely straddled the line of my patience where I almost didn't give a damn about the central mystery and I tend to have a lot of patience for mysteries. By three quarters of the way in, I pretty much ceased caring deeply and just wanted to know if my suspicions were correct. I'd say that if you never read it, you'll still have lived a full life but it isn't a bad book at all. It's a twisty story with a few mysteries but the suspense just evaporated. This one just didn't live up to my expectations. Neutral on recommendation. (  ) anissaannalise | Feb 28, 2018 | I really liked the premise of this novel. I've always wanted to go on an exchange program, but never had the time or opportunity to do so. After reading this book, I don't know if I would want to go on one! I really enjoyed the narrative style of the author, with the switching between the voices of Molly and Quinn. I liked that parts of this story were told in blog format because that's just an interesting medium to use. I liked the thrill aspect of it because I wasn't expecting it to be as dark as it was, and it was really quite good. I thought that there were quite a few plot holes in the story that made it implausible, but other than that, I really liked the overall story and I don't think anything suffered because of this. Overall, this was a high intensity, action-packed story that shows how small idyllic towns can hold really big secrets.

HTML: From a bright new talent comes a riveting psychological thriller about an American exchange student in France involved in a suspicious accident, and the journalist determined to break the story and uncover the dark secrets a small town is hiding. On a quiet summer morning, seventeen-year-old American exchange student Quinn Perkins stumbles out of the woods near the small French town of St. Roch. Barefoot, bloodied, and unable to say what has happened to her, Quinn's appearance creates quite a stir, especially since the Blavettesâ??the French family with whom she's been stayingâ??have mysteriously disappeared. Now the media, and everyone in the idyllic village, are wondering if the American girl had anything to do with her host family's disappearance. Though she is cynical about the media circus that suddenly forms around the girl, Boston journalist Molly Swift cannot deny she is also drawn to the mystery and travels to St. Roch. She is prepared to do anything to learn the truth, including lying so she can get close to Quinn. But when a shocking discovery turns the town against Quinn and she is arrested for the murders of the Blavette family, she finds an unlikely ally in Molly. As a trial by media ensues, Molly must unravel the disturbing secrets of the town's past in an effort to clear Quinn's name, but even she is forced to admit that the American Girl makes a very compelling murder suspect. Is Quinn truly innocent and as much a victim as the Blavettesâ??or is she a cunning, diabolical killer intent on getting away with murder...? Told from the alternating perspectives of Molly, as she's drawn inexorably closer to the truth, and Quinn's blog entries tracing the events that led to her accident, The American Girl is a deliciously creepy, contemporary, twisting mystery leading to a shocking conclus Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
