My Thoughts…
You know when
you read everything an author writes how you start to anticipate how the story
will go. You know the authors writing
style and think you can tell where she is going to take you? Yea, well this is a Lisa Scottoline thriller
but it will take you down paths that are not in your comfort zone and will make
you question where you thought the story was going.
After Anna is a psychological thriller that touches on mental
illness, losing your parental rights, rape, and lies. So many lies… There were times that I could feel the
story was off, some of the things happening just didn’t add up. There were times that I wasn’t sure if the
character was telling the truth or a lie.
The story kept me on my toes, kept me guessing, and kept me wondering
where I would end up.
This was not my favorite Lisa Scottoline book but it was a book
that I continue to think about even a few days after I have finished. The story has stuck with me, I told my mom
about it, recommended it to a friend at work, and am excited to see what
other’s will think about it.
I recommend picking up your own copy.
