APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Sudden viral fame can be disorienting enough—but in this heart-pounding psychological thriller, what comes afterward is downright terrifying. When Arden was just six years old, she captured the nation’s imagination by sleepwalking into a rainstorm and going missing for three days. Now, 20 years later, Arden is desperate to escape her survival-story fame; she’s changed her name to Olivia and moved cross-country. Unfortunately, she’s started sleepwalking again, and this time she’s found a dead body…of someone who knew her as a child. Author Megan Miranda masterfully weaves together fragments of Olivia’s memories and dreams with pulse-pounding plot twists, raising the stakes with each step of Olivia’s dark journey. And narrator Rebekkah Ross’ tone is casual enough to make Olivia’s terror feel even more gut-wrenching and relatable, yet strong enough to make every revelation hit like a lightning bolt. The Girl from Widow Hills is a chilling reminder that you can forget your past—but it won’t forget you.
