HARPERCOLLINSCHILDRENSBOOKS The Last Life of Lori Mills.
by Max Boucherat
Lori Mills is stuck in a reality that feels increasingly like a closing trap. When the life you know begins to unravel, you start to question everything, including the person staring back at you in the mirror. This story centers on a young woman caught in a disorienting loop of secrets and missing pieces, forcing her to confront the dark gaps in her own history. Boucherat crafts an atmosphere that is heavy with dread and psychological unease, making the reader feel just as untethered as the protagonist. The pacing is relentless, shifting from quiet, introspective moments to sharp, jarring realizations. This is a perfect pick for readers who enjoy stories where the ground beneath the characters is constantly shifting, and who prefer their mysteries laced with a deep, existential ache rather than simple plot twists.
