Review by buckydotson - Then She Was Gone

buckydotson 's review for:

Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell

2.5

mysterious tense slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was okay. I figured out the big reveal of this book like 3 hours into the 10 hour book. Yes, I was interested to see how we got there, but it felt predictable. I think it's an interesting concept to focus on the family after a tragic event, but I just found myself frustrated with Laurel. I feel like this book could have been successful by evaluating these relationships without having to

cause another traumatic event in this woman's life

. This was not for me but that's okay.
