The Forgotten Girl by Jessica Sorensen is calling your name so don’t overlook this one.I can’t give too much away without spoiling it for you but…What a twisted mind trap! I was in an utter state of confusion for the vast majority of this novel because of the extreme twists laced throughout. The execution and layout must have been tricky to piece together but this author pulled it off effortlessly. The mystery made it even more exciting and intense. For a book to throw me totally off kilter proves the ability of the author. I had no idea what to expect at any point, which was very thrilling!Maddie is constantly fighting an inner battle that is wicked and dark. Slowly the memories unwind which are also clues to the secrets I was desperate to know. Maddie is attempting to survive in a warped reality with a clouded awareness. I felt foggy just reading her thoughts. I found myself flipping back the pages to re-read sections because I couldn’t believe what happened. I had several “SAY WHAT?!” moments that I had to process through.I'm sure watching me read this book would be quite comical. My face was contorting with the multitude of expressions that I was feeling throughout so that had to be a funny sight. This was a shocking read that I never saw coming. The endless layers and depth made this story rich with entertainment beyond belief. Just when I thought I figured something out… BAM! The story took off in a different direction. I appreciate being kept on my toes and practically tipping over my chair in anticipation.This isn't the type of book I would usually pick up to read but I am so glad I did. We all know the talent Jessica Sorensen holds and she once again bares it all for us to devour. This novel is full of the unknown but I guarantee you will love getting lost within the realm.
