From the TBR Pile: Blog Tour: Review of The Quiet Girl by S.F. Kosa

Author: S.F. Kosa

Publication Date: August 11, 2020

When Alex arrives in Provincetown to patch things up with his new wife, he finds an empty wine glass in the sink, her wedding ring on the desk, and a string of questions in her wake. The police believe that Alex’s wife simply left, his marriage crumbling before it truly began. But what Alex finds in their empty cottage points him toward a different reality:

His wife has always carried a secret. And now she’s disappeared.

In his hunt for the truth, Alex comes across Layla, a young woman with information to share, who may hold the key to everything his wife has kept hidden. A girl without a clear recollection of her own past. A strange, quiet girl whose memories may break them all.

To find his wife, Alex must face what Layla has forgotten. And the consequences are anything but quiet.

The Quiet Girl was an unexpected surprise. The story follows two timelines. The first follows Alex who is trying to find his missing wife. The second follows Layla who seems to be missing all memory of where she came from. I will admit to almost DNFing the book. However, there was something that was revealed about 25-30% in that made me change my mind. I was sure that story was going in a certain direction, but I was completely wrong. I'll just say that it was an interesting and unique way to frame the story. It really worked for me. I also didn't call the ending, so that was a bonus. I definitely recommend this one.
