A review by veereading
The Fall of Lisa Bellow by Susan Perabo

2.0

When I read the synopsis for this story, I expected it to be more of a drama than a thriller. Which ended up being true. However, nothing happened. At all. The author definitely did a good job in writing this story in the perspective of a middle schooler. But seriously. Nothing happens. Meredith is a character I felt pity for at times but mostly, I was just bored with her and the entire story. There's only so much I can read about inane things in her life, like how bad her mom's pancakes are, and how she likes to sit in a certain spot in the car. While I don't think the story needed to be a thriller, I still think it could have been a bit more .... interesting. It's a sad story, but I felt that I was more drawn to Lisa Bellow than to Meredith and her family. In the end, this novel just didn't do it for me.

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
