The Truth About Melody Browne: A Novel by Lisa Jewell
2.0
2 stars
I have been slowly reading my way through all of Jewell's books and I can honestly say this one has been my least favorite. I don't know what went south for me in regard to this novel but I was just bored and uninterested.
I did really enjoy the dual timelines that were used to bring the story together. I did also think that Melody had good character development! I was just bored. No twists or turns, no dramatic pause, it was just okay. But I will say, this isn't really a mystery or a thriller. I would say it could be more contemporary with mystery elements. If I would have double checked that myself, I may have gone into this differently!
Read if you like:
- Dysfunctional Family Drama
- Slow Burn
- Chick-Lit
- Mental Health Rep
TRIGGER WARNINGS: Abandonment, Repressed Memories,
