PamG (lynguy1) | 2540 comments Here is my 3.23 rounded to 3 stars review of Nowhere Like Home Nowhere Like Home by Sara Shepard by Sara Shepard:

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Psychological Drama / Crime Novel
Thought-provoking
Plenty of angst and suspense
I wanted the main character to be stronger.
The writing style with many flashback scenes isn't my preferred style.
