Tangled in Ivy av Ashley Farley

 Lillian Alexander's father is dying of cancer. When he rambles on in a morphine-delirium, Lillian can't ignore the feeling he's trying to tell her something. At his funeral days later, she encounters ghosts from her past who stir long-suppressed memories from the day her mother died twenty-seven years ago. Why, if her mother's death was an accident, does Lillian harbor guilt, as though she were somehow to blame?  

When Lillian and her twin sister, Layla, learn the Stoney family fortune is gone, Lillian fights to save her ancestral home on Charleston's prestigious East Battery. Desperate to resolve her money problems and get answers to her questions about the past, she tears her father's study apart in search of clues. She discovers a thumb drive in a hollowed-out hardback copy of For Whom the Bell Tolls. The thumb drive, marked For Lillian in his handwriting, contains her father's memoir. Secluded in the family's cottage on Wadmalaw Island, she immerses herself in her father's account of his stormy relationship with her mother. What she learns sets her on a journey of self-discovery.

Omdöme

Den var stundtals ganska seg och den hade inte riktigt några överraskningar. Man kunde ganska lätt gissa sig till vad som skulle avslöjas vilket var lite synd. Jag tyckte även att de flesta av karaktärerna var ganska svår att få någon känsla för. Jag hade velat haft mer av Lillians resa, den kändes lite väl tunn och hennes upptäckter var ganska förutsägbara, den hade gärna fått varit lite mer turbulent. 

Den var dock bra skriven och gillar du karaktärsdrivna böcker så kanske den här kan vara något för dig.
