A review by laurak23
Six Years by Harlan Coben
3.0
Actual rating: 3.5 stars.
I have been a bit behind on my HC books of late, so it's been a while since I've read any of his stuff. As usual, I really enjoyed Coben's style. The casual, self-deprecating protagonist with a dry wit.
I always enjoy a story so much more when I can make a genuine personal connection with the story. This was especially true with this book. No, my life hasn't involved the shady aspects of what Jake encounters, but there were still many moments, or should I say sentiments, that really resonated with me. I was hoping for something like that from this, and I wasn't disappointed.
Yes, it was a bit formulaic. Yes, I figured out much of the ending before the reveal. But I didn't enjoy the book any less for it.
