Dead To You - Lisa McMann

Dead To You by Lisa McMann



I read this book a while back, in March I think.
And then it got lost somewhere in a pile.
I found it this morning and flipped through it to remind myself of what it was.

And this is one that I really, really liked.
It's almost a mind eff book, but there's a little piece of you that knows what's going to happen even if you don't want to it to, or even want to admit that it's possible.

I feel like I remember typing out Lisa McMann's name, but I don't think I have.
I think this might be one of the ones I tried to start writing about, had formatting issues, got frustrated, deleted and forgot about it.
But I think I've found a way around my formatting issues, so we shouldn't forget anymore.

Short synopsis:

Ethan De Wilde was abducted when he was seven, and now at sixteen he's finally found his way back home.
After living with Ellen for most of his life, and being homeless for the last few years, coming back to his family is a huge transition, for him and his family.
But mostly for his little brother Blake.
Ethan is having a hard time remembering anything at all from his first seven years of life, and Blake catches on quickly.
Ethan's anxiety attacks don't help either.
Blake's tactics for debunking Ethan's identity continue to tear their family apart when the unthinkable happens.
And. You have to read it to find out!

This was another one of those books that I picked because of the tragedy.
Although I think everyone is drawn to those what happened during the abduction books, or life after coming home books.
