When She Was Me by Marlee Bush

Thank you so much to Dreamscape for the copy of the audio!

This book is out now.

I am torn on how I feel about this book because I really enjoyed the first half of the book but then suddenly, I had no idea what was happening.

I thought the story of having the two sisters who obviously are hiding from something or had experience some sort of trauma. They are very different one Cassie is more of the mother figure of the two and Lenora is reserved & does not leave the house unless she has to.

I really enjoyed the mystery of the young girl going missing and finding out what happened to her. But as I mentioned somewhere in the middle, the 50-70% range was where they lost me. I am not sure if it was the flashbacks or the dual POVs but I just was not sure what was going on. And then suddenly we were in the present and the twists were happening.

I thought Imani Jade Powers did a good job with the narration and tackling both of the sisters. Her tone and cadence made it to be very easy listening.

Even though this ended up being just an okay read for me, I will give Marlee another try as this is her debut.
