Sorry I didn't get a chance to post this review last night. Oak Island was on!
Weird, weird, weird!
That's all I can say about this book.
I am so utterly confused about what even happened.
Here's what I can figure out:
Ruby and Chloe are half-sisters in update NY, but Ruby is more like a mother to Chloe as their own is an alcoholic hippie. One night at a party near a reservoir, Ruby's and her friends watch the much younger Chloe swim to the center. Legend says there are still whole towns below the reservoir after the river was dammed and the valley flooded (side note: Candlewood Lake in CT is like this. I always tried to look through the murky water to see. Apparently you can take a scuba tour.) But upon reaching it, she finds a girl in a rowboat, dead from an overdose. OK, that much was clear and understandable.
Fast forward and Chloe has been sent to live with her father and his new family in PA. Out of the blue Ruby appears to take her home.
And that's when things got strange. The dead girl is now alive.
I honestly am not sure what was going on here. Was Ruby a witch of some sorts? Is the dead, now alive, girl a figment of Chloe or Ruby's imagination? Are the ghosts in the drowned town part of this or not?
Yeah, I have no idea.
