If Something Happens to Me is my second Alex Finlay book, and I feel much the same about this one that I did with What Have We Done last year, which is to say that it was all a bit forgettable and felt like it was trying too hard.

I enjoyed the first half of the book well enough, but by the second act, the story became too far-fetched, the twists were predictable, and it was ridiculous how everything kept conveniently sliding into place at just the right time.

In the end, this was just another middle-of-the-road read for me. To be honest, I doubt I will even remember what this book was about a month from now.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
