When She Was Me by Marlee Bush
3.0
Disclosure: I received an ARC of this novel from Netgalley, however all opinions are my own.
I'll start with the bad. I found it really hard to understand the setting of this book. The premise says remote Tennessee campsite, and I could not envision what that looked like, especially in terms of the cabin that the two sisters live in.
I also had a hard time completely understanding Cassie and Lenora in general and their relationship. I felt like a lot of things were left in the dark and maybe I would have enjoyed this novel more with better explanation.
This novel moved slowly for me, which is another reason for my 3 start rating. However, when things finally started coming together, I couldn't read it fast enough. The ending was definitely interesting, and I think had the entirety of the book read more like the ending I maybe would have enjoyed this story more.
