I Am Margaret Moore by Hannah Capin is a lyrical and summery coming-of-age murder mystery about the bonds of sisterhood.
While I typically love poetic prose, I found the writing quality writing extremely inconstant throughout the book. Some passages are gorgeous and biting. However, some of the extended metaphors didn't land for me and some sentences were downright grammatically incoherent gibberish that left me scratching my head.
It's also important to note that this is a non-linear story. The chapters are written as short vignettes in non-chronological order—quickly switching back and forth between timelines, which felt disorienting at times.
Overall, I appreciate that the author took stylistic risks. However, the execution was messy and could have benefited from a great deal more polishing.
Thank you, NetGalley and Wednesday Books, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
