Crit About Books The Girl I Used to Be

*sigh*This book seemed so promising when I found it at the library. Short and intense. I was hopeful.And for the first half, it was good. I like the pace the story takes and I like Olivia's character. She's driven but not immobilized by what happened to her parents. While I found it hard to believe that all these people who had known her since she was 7 didn't recognize her a few years later, I was even willing to suspend disbelief and embrace the small-town-horror-vibe.Except that really isn't

3.5 stars, rounded up. This book had everything I look for in a crime novel: -A thrilling climax -An interesting plot-Several character deaths (one that I didn't see coming) -End of chapter cliffhangers But NO twists!!! At least, not one that I noticed anyway. I'm just saying, what's a crime novel without a good twist or two? The story also dragged at times, especially in the beginning. The characters were dull, the dialogue was flat, and there was even a little unbelievability to it: would you

This was a very solid mystery.It's told in 1st person from Olivia's point of view.When she was 3, her mother was murdered, and her father -- who immediately disappeared -- was always thought to be the murderer.Olivia is now 17 and emancipated from a child services system that she hated.She grew up believing she was the daughter of a murderer, but her father's remains have just been found. Rather than being a murderer, he was a victim -- murdered at the same time as Olivia's mother.But if her

Promising and suspenseful first half dives into boredom and a lackluster revelation.

Exciting! The Girl I Used to Be pulled me right into the action and thats what I like. I couldn't wait to start digging for answers. The sentences are short and crisp, moving the action along quickly. The chapters are also short, keeping the plot suspenseful.The Girl I Used To Be was very well written, the plot moved along at a rapid pace, and the characters were interesting. I was given enough information as to figure out some of the mystery, but I kept second-guessing my suspicions,

I've read some April's other books and I really liked the premise of this one, so I was eager to read it.I liked Olivia. Her situation is sort of unique and I was immediately intrigued. She was an interesting character and I enjoyed being in her head. There are a couple of other secondary characters, but to me, it felt like they weren't fleshed out. It was an effective way to show how Olivia felt ostracized.The plot was fast paced, but it didn't seem like it. It was more like all of a sudden,

This was one of those books that started off so fast and so attention-getting that it reminded me so much of the Mystery/Thrillers I grew up reading (and loving) as a Middle Grader in the 90's. Right away we learn that Olivia/Ariel's father's bones were found, meaning he didn't kill her mother, meaning there's a totally different killer out there. We also learn that Olivia was THERE when her parents were killed, but because she was so young she can't remember much at all. She decides to go back
