Docket Page 78. Like Mother, Like Daughter by Kimberly McCreight

CHARGE (What was the author trying to say?): You can’t escape your past.

FACTS: Katrina McHugh, a successful attorney, is haunted by growing up in an orphanage. When her past physically intrudes into her present, threatening her college-age daughter Cleo, Kat must confront the actions of her past and deal with the consequences. I was not a fan of the shifting timeline. I enjoy a story told in a more chronological fashion. While the story seemed at times to move at a snail’s pace, the ending seemed rushed – quickly tying up all the loose ends into a neat (though somewhat unbelievable) package.

VERDICT (Was the author successful?): Guilty, as charged.
