MY REVIEW

Her life is filed with hope and promise, until…

An aura of menace is subtle but persistent, and I am wondering how far HE will go in her psychological torture.

I really don’t like Joe very much. I think he’s a bit lazy and selfish, though Anne needs to make her needs know. The longer you wait to solve a probe the less the other person understands why you feel the way you do. Communicate people! lol

Not sure what I was expecting, but the tangled web Mary Torjussen weaves makes it hard to put the book down. The damaged characters all have a special role to play and are pivotal to the story.

Twisted, mess with your mind, psychological thriller.

I won the book and voluntarily reviewed The Girl I Used To Be by Mary Torjussen.
