Wendy Corsi Staub ~ The Fourth Girl

Amazon First Read: Started on 5/15/25.  Finished on 6/9/25. 25 Days.

Chapters were short.  Characters were written well.  Story drug on a bit for me.  I didn’t like going back and forth between past and present.  The chapter cliff hangers were few and far between but when done they were done well.

3 friends try and help the “fourth” friend escape her parents.  Mary Beth, the sister of the fourth girl was already banished by the parents.  The four girls promise to help Caroline and to meet at the 1 year anniversary of her escaping.
Then on the 25th anniversary Gordy gets murdered.  Is it Caroline?  Is it Talia?

Was a fairly decent read but it did drag a little.  I’m giving this book a 7/10.
