ARC Review: Only She Came Back

 I received a copy of this book from Novel Suspects and the publisher.

Only She Came Back by Margot Harrison

Sam is fascinated by true crime, so much so that she once tried to make her own true crime podcast. Kiri, a girl Sam went to high school with, is now the prime suspect of a crime. Kiri went into the desert with her YouTuber boyfriend, but came out alone, her sweatshirt covered in his blood, telling people he is probably dead.

As Sam becomes the safe place for Kiri to share her stories and secrets, Sam must decide just how far she is willing to go to know the truth-and what, exactly, the truth will mean.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were very three dimensional, as were their relationships. Learning about Kiri’s life and relationship with her boyfriend through diaries was a very effective technique, particularly because the readers don’t know how much they can trust Kiri as her own narrator. I did not call the major twist, which is always fun. I would recommend this book.
