Amazing!
April Henry is one of my favorite authors and for good reason! Her thrillers are the best and they always keep me guessing until the very end. Very well written as usual.

This is the type of book I just love reading!2
Olivia had lost her mother as a kid. According to the police, her father had killed her mother and ran away. But after fourteen years, new evidence point to the fact that her father was killed on the same day. Now, Olivia wants justice for her parents being taken away from her in such a young age. With a new identity, she returns to her old town. Will she be able to identify the killer before the killer identifies her? The Girl I Used to Be is the first book I’ve read by author April Henry. When starting any new books by an author I’ve never read before my expectations going into it are somewhat natural but this time, I really love it. The book starts off with a bang, with the cops knocking on Olivia Reinhart’s door, telling her that her father has also been dead all along, and not the person to blame like everyone thought. It pulls you right into the story, and Henry’s writing keeps you gripped. Olivia/ Ariel was a great narrator, each world filled with pain and strength and the ability to love and be loved that was taken from her. Henry really makes you feel for her. Every new chapter held a new piece of evidence, a thrilling build up to the very end where the truth becomes revealed. There was never a dull moment, that’s for sure. I’m looking forward to reading more books from the author that’s for sure!
