The Girls in the Garden by Lisa Jewell

3.0

Im so confused? Who did it? Can someone answer!! This book was a bit of a let down, it was somewhat interesting and kept me reading, especially in the second half, but the characters were bizarre. They were in such strong denial and overlooked so many inappropriate things. I strongly disliked Clare, her unwillingness to get a job and keeping things from her children, how she was with Leo even though she met him three times. The kids were all odd, although I liked Pip! I didn’t like Adele either, she was just so blind and delusional, trying “hard” with her kids but allowing them to run wild. It was just bland and so anticlimactic.
