The Girl in the Leaves by Robert Scott
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

The Girl in the Leaves is described as a shocking, true crime, story and one that will have you on the edge of your seat. Unfortunately, this story was anything but that. I found the story to be very chaotic, it jumped around a lot, there was not an ounce of it that flowed. This felt less like a story or a book and more like someone just jotting down their journaling. I found it extremely difficult to connect to any part of the book or any part of the characters. I felt that this was more a story being used as maybe be a therapeutic tool , which left me completely disappointed, frustrated, and it made it difficult to charge my way through. If you know going in that this is more of just random things, you may appreciate it and be OK with it. I, however, having read many many true crime books found this one to just be a giant disappointment.
