My Name is Anna by Lizzy Barber

3*

Two women – desperate to unlock the truth.
How far will they go to lay the past to rest?

ANNA has been taught that virtue is the path to God. But on her eighteenth birthday she defies her Mamma’s rules and visits Florida’s biggest theme park.

She has never been allowed to go – so why, when she arrives, does everything seem so familiar? And is there a connection to the mysterious letter she receives on the same day?

ROSIE has grown up in the shadow of the missing sister she barely remembers, her family fractured by years of searching without leads. Now, on the fifteenth anniversary of her sister’s disappearance, the media circus resumes in full flow, and Rosie vows to uncover the truth.

But will she find the answer before it tears her family apart....

Not a bad book by Lizzy Barber, well written and suspenseful but with a bit of a slow, plodding pace.
Skipping back and forth between Anna and Rosie was a good way to keep me interested, however I would’ve like to have seen More of Rosie’s life fleshed out as the concentration was mainly on Anna.
The plot was every parents worse nightmare and the emotional rollercoaster felt by each character was described well, the setting of a happy fun place in the Theme Park was eerily contrasted by the events that took place, however I felt that the story needed to kick up the pace a bit to fully keep my attention.
Worth a read though.
