Review: The Lost Girls of Willowbrook by Ellen Marie Wiseman

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Willowbrook State School was an institution for mentally disabled children on Staten Island that operated from 1947 until 1987.
This book was difficult to read but it gave me a perspective that I had never really thought much about before. Definitely gonna be adding more of this author's books to my TBR.

Part human, part cyborg mechanic, Cinder was adopted from Europe when she was 11 years old. She knows nothing about her past. What she's about to uncover could protect the world's future. I really liked this book! Part Cinderella, part Terminator it was something I REALLY needed in my life. I sometimes don't like retellings as a rule, but this one was cool!

I liked the first book better than I liked this one but not by much! Thankfully, the newer "V.C. Andrews" books have been shorter than previous ones, since I started reading them. Older series were 100% better!
