A group of friends reunite after one of them has returned from a mysterious two-year disappearance in this edgy and haunting debut. Julie is missing, and no one believes she will ever return--except Elise. Elise knows Julie better than anyone, and feels it in her bones that her best friend is out there and that one day Julie will come back. She's right. Two years to the day that Julie went missing, she reappears with no memory of where she's been or what happened to her. Along with Molly and Mae, their two close friends from college, the women decide to reunite at a remote inn. But the second Elise sees Julie, she knows something is wrong--she's emaciated, with sallow skin and odd appetites. And as the weekend unfurls, it becomes impossible to deny that the Julie who vanished two years ago is not the same Julie who came back. But then who--or what--is she?
4.5*.
I love this book, I wish I had read this before I read Such Sharp Teeth or Cackle because those books BLEW MY MIND. The Return is good but it fell short of 5 stars for me, it lacks the oomph to take it there. But a girls weekend in a themed hotel? Obsessed. I can’t remember who recommended this & Cackle to me based off an actual girls weekend at a themed hotel I did a couple of years ago but you changed my life, whoever you are. I just wanted to wallow in the beginning of the book and read about all the themed rooms. Guys, I love themed hotels, can you tell? Anyway, I do love this book, I just wish I had read it before reading Rachel Harrison’s other stuff.
Creepy fun
