by Marjorie Celona
🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
Synopsis:
But she never returns. She places a call to the police saying she's found a boy in the woods, but the call is cut short by a muffled cry. Did one of Leo's sons see Vera? What are they hiding about that day? And why are they so scared of their own father?
Told from shifting perspectives, How a Woman Becomes a Lake is a compelling, lyrical novel about family, new beginnings, and costly mistakes, and asks, what do you do when the people who are meant to love you the most, fail?

Thank you Netgalley and Penguin Random House Canada for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own.
How A Woman Becomes A Lake is a dark, sad, dramatic work of fiction that will not be for everyone. Thankfully, I really, really enjoyed it. I would have to say this ended up being one of my favorite thrillers of the year.
I thought Celona's writing was absolutely magnificent. The way she was able to put me on an emotional roller coaster that kept me hooked on every page was wonderful. My heart was broken so many times throughout these pages. The characters were so incredibly flawed in a way that twists your emotions to make you feel multiple things for each character. The story is told through multiple person POV. I feel like each glimpse into their thoughts provided a layer of intrigue and interest to the story. I really just can't praise it up enough.
If you're looking for a dark mystery that will break your heart I'd recommend giving this one a try.
