Pandora Sykes' novel "You Can't Put It Down" is a captivating and utterly unique read that will keep you hooked from the first page to the last. The story follows the journey of Ava, a teenage girl who finds herself headed cross-country to live with her grandmother, Lane, after the sudden death of her mother. However, Ava soon discovers that Lane is not the warm and welcoming relative she had hoped for. Instead, she is consumed by her obsessive painting sessions and barely acknowledges Ava's presence.
The only other person who comes around is Lane's assistant, Oliver, who is dealing with his own issues. As the summer goes on, Ava begins to sense that something is very wrong in her grandmother's house. She wonders why Lane was estranged from Ava's mother and is concerned that she may be losing her mind. She also questions whether the danger lies with Oliver or if there is something darker in their past that could come back to destroy them all.
The novel is filled with suspense, mystery, and unexpected twists that will keep you guessing until the very end. Sykes' writing is elegant and seductive, and her characters are well-developed and relatable. Ava is a strong and independent young woman who is determined to find the truth about her grandmother and her own family history. Oliver is a complex character who is hiding his own secrets and struggles with his own demons.
The setting of the novel is also well-executed, with the picturesque countryside of the Pacific Northwest providing a backdrop for the unfolding drama. Sykes' descriptions of the landscape and the characters' interactions with it are vivid and evocative, adding to the overall sense of intrigue and suspense.
Overall, "You Can't Put It Down" is a must-read for anyone who enjoys a good mystery and a compelling story. Pandora Sykes has created a novel that is both intriguing and elegant, and that will leave you wanting more.
