The Companion

The Companion by Katie Alender is another one of this year’s Rosie nominees. The story is told from the main character, Margot’s, point of view as she copes with the loss of her family and is now moving into an estate owned by a prestigious family. Margot should feel lucky, but it’s hard to feel lucky when you wake up screaming every night due to the terror of the accident. And it’s even harder to feel lucky when you are picked to be a companion to the Sutton’s silent, mysterious daughter, Agatha. And even more so when it seems someone is playing tricks on your mind. Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It is one of the better ones on this year’s Rosie list. I found the characters to be a bit dull but overall it’s an entertaining, easy read.
