Pieces of Her

“Pieces of Her” is dark, has some grim humor (rabbit foot scene anyone?), and packed with top-tier suspense. Overall, it details how some people can be manipulated by an idea, become embroiled in it, chase it to the brink, and then become destroyed by it or live with the consequences. One of the book's main characters, Andrea, is a self-deprecating, lively soul who seems to want something greater out of her life but has not truly found her way yet. Her and her mother are enjoying a birthday meal at the mall when a shooting happens. Andy's mother protects her by standing up to the gunman and taking him out. It is captured on the news and flips both of their lives upside down. Are there family secrets hidden deep below the surface? You better believe it! Does it have some heart racing moments throughout? Absolutely, positively. Would I recommend it? Yeah, go now and check it out.
