I’ve loved all of Catherine Ryan Howard’s books leading up to Run Time. I’m sure I’ll love more of her books in the future. But Run Time is frankly terrible. I thought it was terrible at the beginning, throughout the book, and after finishing. It just didn’t work at all. The meta book within a book fanciful takes didn’t work. It played out like every bad horror movie you’ve ever seen. I hate to be mean because I love this author, but this one wasn’t for me. Alana Kerr Collins did a lovely job with the narration, as always.
One minor point. Don’t chose character names that have a very recognizable counterpoint in the real world. Every single time I heard Adele’s name in the book I pictured Adele the singer. It took me right out of the book.
