Girl By Any Other Name

This book was a totally random find for me. I was looking for ‘something different’ to read, and did I ever find it in Girl By Any Other Name.

The story sucked me in from the first page, and I couldn’t put it down until it spit me out at the end.

At the risk of sounding cheesy, Cal and Sylvie are so cute together. Cal is sweet and protective, while Sylvie is guarded and somewhat strange. 

Wanting to know her secret, trying to figure it out before it was revealed, kept me glued to my Kindle. Their sweet friendship built gradually, and it was charming to read.

I have to admit, it did feel a little like two separate books—before Sylvie’s death and after. The story seemed to lag somewhat in the middle, but it picked up steam (read: lots of sex) and then came to an explosive ending. 

I love when a book has the ability to surprise me, and honestly, I didn’t see this one coming.

So, I say, “Read this book”. Be charmed by the beginning, get through the middle where it feels a little predictable, and then be surprised at the end. I think you will love it, too.

Note: This book was originally published in 2014 as “A Girl By Any Other Name” and was re-released in 2019.
