You Shouldn't Have Come Here by Jeneva Rose
2.0
I wanted to love this so much because Jeneva has been on my TikTok fyp long before I finally picked up The Perfect Marriage, and I want to be her friend. Unfortunately, this book isn’t doing it for me.
I was expecting this to be a thriller, but it definitely weighs on the more romantic suspenseful side of things for the majority of the book. The plot didn’t really pick up until the last 20% of the book, and by the time things started getting exciting, it felt like the pacing of the story was way off. On top of that, none of the characters were very likable, and the ending felt a little jumbled.
I will say that I listened to this on audiobook via Libro FM, and it was incredibly engaging and easy to follow along with. The setting of the small town backdrop also piqued my interest, and I think if this was marketing as a romantic suspense with slightly better pacing, I would’ve really enjoyed this.
Thank you to NetGalley for the early copy of the electronic arc and Libro FM for the advance listener copy of the audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
