The Frequency of Us by Keith Stuart
3.0
I’d like to take a minute to thank the publishers and netgalley for a copy of this in exchange of an honest review.
TW: anxiety and panic attacks
Frequency follows the story of Will and Laura. Seventy years ago wills wife went missing, and now no one believes him that she ever existed. Laura suffers with terrible anxiety and panic attacks and is tasked with assessing if Will is mentally unwell or telling the truth. She becomes determined to help him.
I’m going to give some trigger warnings because if you also have terrible anxiety like me, though these scenes are very well written it did also make ME super anxious as a result. I sometimes had to put the book down.
Ultimately it’s a very slow book and didn’t really hold my attention enough to want to continue with it. While elements of a mystery are awesome it just didn’t hook me enough. I also kind of expected radios to play a bigger part but it seemed almost secondary.
