I picked up Holly with high hopes, drawn by King’s reputation for gripping stories. However, I found it difficult to get invested in the plot or connect with the characters, which felt surprisingly flat for a King novel. The pacing was slower than expected, and I struggled to stay engaged. After reaching the 18% mark, I ultimately decided to set it aside. This one didn’t quite capture the thrill or tension I’ve enjoyed in his other works.
With poignant storytelling, The Girls We Sent Away dives into the often-overlooked history of young women sent to maternity homes in the 1960s. Meagan Church crafts an intimate portrayal of resilience and loss, capturing the era’s societal pressures and the difficult choices faced by young mothers. The characters are well-drawn and emotionally resonant, though the pacing occasionally slows. However, the depth of emotion and historical insight make this a powerful, thought-provoking read that stays with you long after the final page.
