What We Forgot to Bury
What We Forgot to Bury
By: Marin Montgomery
Thumbs down for language, but enjoyed the unpredictability of this one. Who are the real victims and villains, or are they both? This is one that makes you want to go back and read it again to see what you missed.
The inscription at the very beginning of the book says 'for the women who have borne the physical, psychological, and mental heartbreak of a miscarriage.' Having experienced a miscarriage myself, I wasn't sure what to expect going into this book. There were some things that brought up memories, but in my own personal opinion, I felt like this book was a psychological thriller driven plot that I didn't find myself dealing with heavy emotions or sadness. I suppose my experience was fairly different than what was portrayed in the book and maybe that was part of it. Either way, I guess I'm trying to assure you that it was done pretty respectfully and is not written in a way to get you to cry.
So definitely give this book a try if you can handle some language— 20 f-words, 76 s-words (unnecessary per ushe.)
**Oh also, sidenote: Several times she mentioned a character hitting someone with an "open fist." This makes no sense. A fist by definition is when you close your hand/fingers. What does an open fist even LOOK LIKE???**
