The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes

3.0

I read some great reviews on this book and it sounded right up my alley; murder, mayhem and time travel? Awesome! What I got was just..meh. Writing was good. Character development was good. I really can't put my finger on what went wrong here for me, but I definitely didn't like the swiftly wrapped up ending, for one thing! Very unsatisfying. As a reader who just invested a certain amount of time in the story & characters, I felt cheated, and it made the story itself feel hollow and it lost its depth & meat. Yes, unsatisfied (and a little cheated) is how this book made me feel.
