Before She Was Helen by Caroline B. Cooney
3.0
When Clemmie goes next door to check on her difficult and unlikeable neighbor Dom, he isn't there. But something else is. Something stunning, beautiful and inexplicable. Clemmie photographs the wondrous object on her cell phone and makes the irrevocable error of forwarding it. As the picture swirls over the internet, Clemmie tries desperately to keep a grip on her own personal network of secrets. Can fifty years of careful hiding under names not her own be ruined by one careless picture?
Did I pick this book because I loved the Face on the Milk Carton books? You bet! However it was not what I had hoped. This was set in a retirement community so it was a little bit different for me. I would call this more of a mystery than a thriller but it was still a decent read nonetheless. This was a book that told two different stories for Clemmie; her current life and her life that led up to where she is now. The past story really was much better than the current. The current was slow moving and not as mysterious or thrilling as I had hoped. I was left confused as to what happened to Dom and Johnny and even confused with Joyce and how there was zero motivation for the killing really. I was also confused because the pov changed constantly without notice and it was hard to keep up.
