The Stillwater Girls

THE STILLWATER GIRLS by Minka Kent Wren, Sage and Evie have been raised off the grid by their mother in a cabin deep in the forests of upstate New York. When their mother takes a sick Evie to get medical attention and doesn’t return, Wren and Sage are left on their own for weeks with dwindling supplies. Nicolette dreams of becoming a foster parent after having trouble conceiving. Her photographer husband, Brant, isn’t as enthusiastic about the idea. Nicolette begins so have doubts about Brant’s fidelity when she finds a photo of a child hidden in his drawer. The chapters alternate between Wren and Nicolette’s perspectives with each ending in a cliffhanger which naturally makes you want to keep reading. When their stories eventually converge the plot veers straight into unhinged territory. At that point you, as a reader, just have to say, “…mmmkay”, suspend all your disbelief and move on. Despite starting off strong and I was loving Wren and Sage’s storyline(!), the last quarter of the book became so unrealistic, nonsensical and ultimately disappointing. Rating: 3/5 ⭐️

This book kept me on the edge of my seat for the entire story! I was kept guessing and trying to figure out what was going to happen next. But I was unable to guess any of the upcoming twists and turns. I absolutely loved it and still rave about it today!

This book is a must read. I couldn’t put it down. The author brilliantly portrays the characters. If you are looking for intrigue and suspense, this is the book for you!
