shanii 's review for:
And Then You Were Gone
by R.J. Jacobs
I received this via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
This book was so...random. Though the plot clearly sets an aim for the story, the storytelling itselfis haphazard and vague, to the point where it just gets boring waiting for development. It almost feels like this is the first draft, unfleshed out and raw.
I spent the whole first half of the book waiting for the story make some progress on the plot, but no such luck. The main character is so two dimensional and forgettable, I can't even remember her name anymore. Her being bipolar just seems to be a characteristic given to her to make her more interesting, and that's not something that sits well with me.
By the end of the book, the story has done a complete 180, (no, there's no brilliant twist or anything) almost like the author changed their mind halfway through and decided to write another story altogether. The chapters feel disjointed and so do the characters.
I've been on quite the thriller binge lately, and this turned out to be quite disappointing.
