Three Books in and No One is Any Smarter

Revisado: 09-10-20

Having finished the series, I realize that I allowed to much forgiveness of the main character's horrible predicaments because of her mental illness. But by book three, I had far less patience for her naivety. At one point in your life do instinct and intuition- plain old common sense even, kick in after being stalked by a serial killer for three novels?

Newsflash: The antagonist isn't brilliant as everyone seems to assert, the detective in charge and the protagonist are both just equally daft and this installment in the series made me upset at the number of bystanders who suffered because of it. Isabel becomes extremely sloppy, unhinged and out of control which seems contrary to her character along the way.

The book tried to tap into the me too movement by portraying women as simply being victims of their circumstances. It felt tragic but fior all of the wrong reasons.

Soooo much dialogue.

Revisado: 06-19-20

The minutia of someone's every rambling thoughts told by way of therapy sessions make up 99% of the book. Mental health issues are over generalized, and conflated. Do yourself a favor, skip to last five chapters.

Um, Who Wrote the Rave Reviews and Why?

Revisado: 06-22-18

The only saving grace of this novel was in its performance. The main character is annoying, the ending comes out of left field in a way that seems more ridiculous than surprising and all the lead women in the novel come off as crazy, damaged and needy. Ugh, not my type of female lead.

Trigger Warning Needed

Revisado: 05-28-18

There was a great deal of dark, sensitive material that made up the storyline. Quite frankly, I just wanted to take a shower after listening to the book. If you're looking for a sliver lining, there isn't much of one of those either. Some of the actions of the characters isn't really believable and young girls are portrayed as dumb, gullible and desperate. Good performance by the female lead but disturbing otherwise.

Wow- I Was Not Prepared for This

Revisado: 02-25-18

There are very few bright/ happy spots in this novel. So if you're looking for a HEA- you won't find one here. I was hooked until the end, but wanted to take a shower afterwards. I would like to say most of the male lead characters actions are nonsensical and immature but they go to show how far assumptions, disillusionment and unresolved childhood trauma can take one.

Too Relatable

Revisado: 07-15-17

For starters: The narrator was fantastic. She made each character come to life and easy to visualize. The story was a modern Robin Hood, based on circumstances many can relate too unfortunately. The ending, however, may or may not be believable- you decide for yourself.

Oscar Worthy Performance for an Ok Book

Revisado: 05-18-17

I love the narrator, she does a great job of bringing the story and characters to life. The story had good elements too but I found annoying at times- maybe too many perspectives and hoarding is not a sexy subplot.

Snoozefest of an Ending

Revisado: 04-12-17

Great start but a needlessly long, unfilling ending. At some point the ending becomes extremely predictable and so boring I had to will myself to finish. The performance was great which is why I gave a slightly higher score than I should.

A beautiful let down.

Revisado: 06-28-16

There was such potential in the storyline. But it took a long time to get used to the performers chirpy voice so that it wasn't so distracting. I think a lot of wonderful questions and concepts are raised in the introspective reflections of the narrator but there is a lot of tremendous buildup for a not so fulfilling ending.

Addicting- You Won't Want to Hit Pause

Revisado: 05-29-16

Absorbing story. Too many details at times but I think that's because I couldn't wait to see how the story came together. The male performances reading as female characters was a little off at times- too rushed, but not enough to be distracting. Great read!
