The main character, Reeve LeClaire is a kidnap survivor who has changed her name and tried to get on with her life after being held captive & sexually abused for 4 years. This story takes place six years later - she still struggles adjusting to normal life but has the help of her psychiatrist, Dr. Lerner. Dr. Lerner asks her to help another kidnap survivor.
What I liked about the story was that the plot was not too complicated - I could follow the plot line. I also finished it quickly - not too long! I do feel like the author could continue writing a series of this character - I'd love to follow her recovery and her getting on with her life! I'd give this book 4 1/2 stars! I'd also recommend it to my friends who like to read thrillers!
From Goodreads: The Edge of Normal by Carla Norton
In many ways, Reeve LeClaire looks like a typical twenty-two year old girl. She’s finally landed her own apartment, she waitresses to pay the bills, and she wishes she wasn’t so nervous around new people. She thinks of herself as agile, not skittish. As serious, not grim. But Reeve is anything but normal.
Ten years ago, she was kidnapped and held captive. After a lucky escape, she’s spent the last six years trying to rebuild her life, a recovery thanks in large part to her indispensable therapist Dr. Ezra Lerner. But when he asks her to help another girl rescued from a similar situation, Reeve realizes she may not simply need to mentor this young victim—she may be the only one who can protect her from a cunning predator who is still out there, watching every move.
From the author of the #1 non-fiction bestseller Perfect Victim: The True Story of the Girl in the Box comes a novel that draws you into a chilling and engrossing world. With powerfully gripping characters and an ending that is a masterpiece of deception, Carla Norton's The Edge of Normal is a stunning debut thriller.
