Book Review: Girl Last Seen
Girl Last Seen by Nina Laurin
Goodreads Summary:
Two missing girls. Thirteen years apart.
Olivia Shaw has been missing since last Tuesday. She was last seen outside the entrance of her elementary school in Hunts Point wearing a white spring jacket, blue jeans, and pink boots. I force myself to look at the face in the photo, into her slightly smudged features, and I can't bring myself to move. Olivia Shaw could be my mirror image, rewound to thirteen years ago. If you have any knowledge of Olivia Shaw's whereabouts or any relevant information, please contact... I've spent a long time peering into the faces of girls on missing posters, wondering which one replaced me in that basement. But they were never quite the right age, the right look, the right circumstances. Until Olivia Shaw, missing for one week tomorrow. Whoever stole me was never found. But since I was taken, there hasn't been another girl. And now there is.
My Review:
2.7/5 Stars
The synopsis of this book had me instantly hooked. And although I did enjoy the storyline overall it felt like a combination of "The Room" and "The Girl on the Train" were both intertwined. Not a bad thing; just kept having deja vu that I had read the same thing before.
The lead is a strong female (which is always a plus) but dealing with her own demons. I truly was guessing till the end with several different theories all which turned out to be false.
It was a super easy read, but not one I would pick up for a second time.
