Book Review: "Before She Was Helen" By Caroline B. Cooney





This was difficult to follow, numerous characters and plots, with very little interest.

Before She Was Helen was about this retirement community, a guy named Dom, a dead body, some golf cart and money bag action, and some bit with Clemmie, a gun, a rape, and more.

It was all over the place with crazy accusations that often didn't turn up as truth and some wild scenarios that felt too contrived.

Drug money may also be in play here with a young man named Boro riding the wave.

Rudyard Creek sounding more like a location than a character so it created an offset shoot in my mind.

Pregnancy, adoption, and more was also part of this insane mix of settings.

Thank you to Caroline, the pub, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle as my head is still spinning from this novel.
