![]() I loved how secretive it was until the very end. “The Last Good Day of the Year” by Jessica Warman follows Sam, a teenage girl who witness the abduction of her baby sister years before, but now it may be the wrong person ended up behind bars. I went in having high expectations and no knowledge of Jessica Warman’s writing style, having never read her work before. I love a good creepy, thrill-inducing, book, so this peaked my interest. Let me start with a little note about the cover of this book. Master storyteller Jessica Warman keeps readers guessing in this arresting page-turner. The more they re-examine the events of that fateful night, the more questions they discover about what really happened to Turtle. As long-buried memories begin to surface, Sam wonders if she and Remy accurately registered everything they saw. Now, Sam’s shattered family is returning to her childhood home in an effort to heal. Remy and Sam, too afraid to intervene at the time, later identified the man as Sam’s sister Gretchen’s much older ex-boyfriend, Steven, who was sent to prison for Turtle’s murder. ![]() Ten years ago, in the early hours of New Year’s Day, seven-year-old Samantha and her next door neighbor, Remy, watched as a man broke into Sam’s home and took her younger sister, Turtle, from her sleeping bag. ![]() Publisher: Bloomsbury USA Children’s Books ![]()
