THE GIRL I USED TO BE

Unresolved crimes that took place during their adolescence follow Gemma and Rachel into adulthood, and we are held spellbound by narrators Katharine McEwan and Fiona Hardingham. We piece together the past and present as the two trade bits of the story in alternating chapters, building suspense as they seek retribution. McEwan's low, throaty characterization of Gemma stands apart from Hardingham's crisp vowels and upper-crust British accent for Rachel. We hang on to find out who was at that party so long ago and what the women can do about it now. This is a story for our times, told by two expert narrators who draw us into the depths of regret.
