Book: Good Bad Girl
Author: Alice Feeney
Pages: 310
This is my 86th read for the year
This is the story of 4 women - Patience, Frankie, Clio, and Edith. Their lives are about to enterwine in a way they never expected. 20 years ago - Clio's baby was stolen from her pram from a grocery store and never found. Edith - Clio's mother, now in a personal care home, tries to get Patience (whom she calls Ladybug) to spring her and take her home. Patience ran away from home and her mom, Frankie, when Frankie refused to tell her who her father was. Frankie, who has so many secrets from her daughter, never gives up looking for her. When the manager of the care home ends up dead and Edith missing, Patience, Frankie, and Clio all become suspects. As their lives intertwine all their secrets come to life leaving them all realing.
This wasn't a good book. I listened to it and should have quit. But I didn't. It was bad from the start. One of my pet peeves - too many secrets and too much keeping the reading in the dark. It was overdone. I hated all the characters. None of them had redeeming qualities. The writing wasn't great - AND the author stole a line from "The Starless Sea" and Erin Morgenstern - and doesn't give her credit. (Quote: We are all stardust and stories). The ending was subpar.
Don't bother with this one
