Such a boring book.. even up to the “shocking” ending which was meh.. ( ) First book I have read by Lucy Clarke, but so not the last. So we have two friends Sarah and Isla, best friends whose lives are so interwoven it's hard to see where one starts and the other ends. Must be lovely to have a friend so close you can experience everything together and share each other's lives, you would think? But even the closest friendships can turn toxic when tragedy strikes as it does to these two when only one little boy returns from the sea. as the cracks begin to show and insecurities rear their little heads, you have to ask yourself, were the splinters always there under the surface just waiting for a reason to fracture and detonate. What happens when all that has been brushed under the carpet bubbles to the surface. When Seven years to the day of little Marley's tragic drowning Jacob, now celebrating his seventeenth birthday, vanishes without a trace its now time for Sarah's world to implode and shatter. This was such a good read, I loved the way the story was laid out, jumping from Sarah to Isla's perspective, I found myself jumping from one camp to the other when it came to my sympathies as we the reader are drip-fed information about each girl. we get to see the two woman stript bare, all their flaws showing, as a friendship disintegrates before our very eyes, it's so excruciatingly addictive to watch, a train wreck derailing. I really wasn't expecting to enjoy Last seen so much, but it has to be one of my favourite reads of the year so far. I was glued to this till the shocking, unexpected end. A job well done Lucy Clarke you now have a new fan in me, I really didn't see it coming at all. I Can't recommend this book enough, give it a go, I really don't think you will be disappointed. Thank you so much to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a free advance reader copy of Last Seen by Lucy Clarke. This is my own unbiased opinion of this novel. https://www.beckiebookworm.com/ https://www.facebook.com/beckiebookworm/ First book I have read by Lucy Clarke, but so not the last.

This is my own unbiased opinion of this novel. https://www.beckiebookworm.com/ https://www.facebook.com/beckiebookworm/ I'm reviewing Last Seen by Lucy Clarke. This is an Amazon Vine review. Do pop by and visit me here! I'm always up for a chat! When two boys go swimming and only one comes back, a small seaside community are devastated by the news. Years later, new secrets surface threatening to disrupt the peaceful beach and the lives of those who live there. It's a place where everyone seems to know each others business. A place where secrets are hard to keep. Here are my thoughts: ^^ I really like Lucy Clarke's writing and have read her previous books; they've all been good and this is no exception. It's the type of story that is full of family drama and I can easily imagine as a BBC adaptation. I truly hope this happens. ^^ This is the story of two women, Isla and Sarah, who are best of friends and have been for years. In the summer, they live in beach huts right by the sea. It's a small community that's like one big happy family. At least, it was. ^^ As the story unfolds we see the cracks in their relationship and what lead them to be the women they are today. The sacrifices they made. The heartbreak they've felt. What happened between them to turn their relationship sour? And why does Sarah always feel like she's being watched? ^^ Ms Clarke has a fascinating way of delving into the minds of her characters and showing you what life is all about. It's not all hearts and roses, even if it looks like it from the outside in. This book is about making choices, trying to sort out what's right from wrong. There's tragedy, d eath, and untold truths. Yep, it's life and for these characters it's messy, upsetting and these are desperate times. But as always, the truth comes out in the end. Or does it? Overall: This is a story about families, the secrets they hold and the lengths a mother will go through to protect the ones she loves at all cost. I really enjoyed this book, which had a great twisty and revealing ending. Some of which I saw coming, but not all of it! Lucy Clarke is immensely talented. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
