So I laid in broken pieces on the floor: THE LOCKED WARD.

The Locked WardThe Locked Ward by Sarah Pekkanen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is one of those crazy page turners that kept me flipping the pages like mad. This reads like a soap opera. There's not always logic here, but it's exciting!

Georgia is in a mental ward, suspecting of killing her adopted sister. Her wealthy family is now shunning her. With no one else to turn to, Georgia reaches out to her birth twin, Mandy, to get her name cleared. Only problem? Mandy has no idea Georgia exists.

Pekkanen alternates the POV between Georgia and Mandy, as Georgia pulls Mandy into her web and forces her to investigate on her behalf. Along the way, we get drama with rich families, ambitious senators, suspicious ward patients, and angry grudges and secrets. It's all a bit histrionic and crazy, but it makes for a compelling and wild tale that dips into sisterhood and family ties.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and St. Martin's Press in return for an unbiased review.
