My Review:
With chapters alternating between Vivian and Rachel’s points of view, All The Little Things is a chilling and somewhat disturbing novel. The plot is interesting but the pacing is slow, at first. It starts off a seemingly regular story of a mother and her teenage daughter but then as we read the "London" chapters it starts to get a little creepy. We come to learn that Vivian is a sly and manipulative child.
All The Little Things is the debut novel by Sarah Lawton. This story is fascinating and scary at the same time. Ms Lawton does an excellent job of keeping the reader turning the pages. I figured out the reveal pretty early on BUT Sarah Lawton brings the novel to a shocking conclusion that will leave readers wondering what the future holds for the Sanders family....and I am hoping/thinking there may be a sequel!? Either way I am looking forward to reading more by this author.
