"Dueling narratives propel this stunning psychological suspense...Hitchcock fans won't want to miss this nuanced, multilayered novel."â??Publishers Weekly

A captivating tour de force untangling trauma, memory, and the justice we serve when everyone else has turned a blind eye.

Good girls keep quiet. But quiet girls can't stay silent foreverâ??and the consequences are sure to make some noise.

When Alex arrives in Provincetown to patch things up with his new wife, Mina, 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 Mina, a successful romance author, simply left, their marriage crumbling before it truly began.

But what Alex finds in their empty cottage points him toward a different reality: Mina 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 strange, quiet girl whose missing memories may break them all.

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

In her debut thriller, S.F. Kosa presents a tightly-woven book sure to inspire questions about trauma, memory, and how well we ever know the people we love.

"Prepare to be enthralledâ??The Quiet Girl will grab your emotions and then hang on with a death grip. Atmospheric and twisty enough to deliver whiplash, S.F Kosa writes with a keen eye for detail and surprise endings. A compelling narrative that hums with momentum long after the reader is done."â??Maureen Joyce Connolly, author of Little Lovely Things… (mehr)

I picked this up as part of the Big Library Read. I don't think it was badly written, but I didn't enjoy it. I also think it should have a list of trigger warnings included. I know the things mentioned won't bother everyone, but I appreciate the warnings. There are things I don't enjoy reading about and this book has quite a few of them. Add to that the fact that I didn't actually like any of the characters and found the ending depressing. It's definitely not a book I would read again. I'm not sure if I will read anything else from this author or not. Maybe, if it doesn't appear to be so depressing. ( )

The Quiet Girl by S.F. Kosa is a 2020 Sourcebooks Landmark publication.

This is another book that has languished on my TBR list for a good while. I don’t recall why I was so keen to read it at that time, but now I am scratching my head a little.

I was intrigued at first- Mina, a romance author, goes missing, leaving her new husband baffled- a solid enough set up, but it soon becomes confusing. I struggled to remain invested for a while, but stuck with it, thinking I’d eventually be able to sync everything together- which I did, but it was very slow going, requiring extra attention and I didn’t feel up to working overtime. The story did get very interesting in the last few chapters. Some very nice twists kept me on my toes and engaged more than I had been up to that point.

But the ending was a gut-punch- one that after going the extra mile with this book, lost every ounce of ground it had gained.

I’m afraid I’m an outlier on this one- many of my reading peers loved this one- so be sure to check out the many positive reviews. You may have better luck with it than I did.

A well written engaging mystery with multiple story lines that were masterfully intertwined. ( )

Hard to put down! I enjoyed that it read quickly but also kept my brain working... ( )

I FINALLY finished this book. I had read up to the last 20 pages when Libby not only took it back, did not have another copy anymore! Nor did my local library! So, a search through any library system began and I finally got it last night, sat in front of the library, finished the dang book and immediately returned it. Anyway, how was the book and was it worth all that? I did enjoy it but it took a LONG time for me to get into it. I would say at least 60-70% of the book read until it got interesting enough to *must* read. But at that point, it got really intense and I was really annoyed that it disappeared. However, a lot of it is very disjointed as there is a story within a story going on and it's not at all clear who is doing what or why. I also found some of the decisions and dialogue odd and unnatural. Overall, I did enjoy it but was not sure I would. 3.5 stars ( )
