Lakewood by Megan Giddings
3.0
I flounder between giving Lakewood 3 or 4 stars. What really brought it down to 3 was the ending, I'd say, because it didn't give me a proper sense of resolution with the events prior. In addition, I think the switch to the first person, the letters to Tanya, pulled me out of the story in a way.
I think that the author also tended to be too heavy-handed with her delivery, where subtlety or simply letting the events speak for themselves might've been more appropriate and impactful.
It's a horrifying novel and quite a few scenes unsettled me, the reality of some I'm still unsure of.
