We Begin at the End

Hands down one of the best books I've ever read. It took me a while to adjust to the author's somewhat odd writing style (run-on sentences, joined with commas) but the story itself reminded me of Jane Harper's The Dry and Elizabeth Wetmore's Valentine in terms of its memorable characters, heart-wrenching situations, and insights into the human condition. Duchess will live in my mind forever. And the last twist that revealed where Star had gone all those years was heartbreaking.
