A review by freethefrican
That Weekend by Kara Thomas

challenging emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

I was very annoyed with the last 20-30% of this book because everything was set up so well, and then it just crashed and burned. It was all made even worse by the last-minute plot twist that, frankly, was unnecessary and felt like it was just added to justify a secondary character's actions. That character didn't need a reason to be a piece of shit and I was ready to take it as that but the author decided to pull that "twist". I would have liked more from the protagonist's relationship with her mother because it was shown to have problems in the beginning and then the mother just disappears after about 20%.
