sailor_rabbit 's review for:
Providence
by Caroline Kepnes
I want to preface this by saying: I wouldn’t really call this a thriller. If anything it’s more of a sci-fi. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT go into this expecting a thriller.
I’m really not sure how to feel or how to rate this book. On one hand I really enjoyed Caroline Kepnes’ writing, as usual. ‘You’ is one of my favorite books ever so it’s no surprise that her writing has drawn me in once again. However, I can’t help but also feel that this just fell a little flat for me.
I knew going into this not to expect something similar to ‘You’, but I was very excited to read it despite that. I tried my best to keep an open mind and take this novel for what it is, and unfortunately it’s a bit confusing, and unfinished feeling. There are a lot of questions that are never answered, and everything about the book still felt a bit unresolved at the end. I felt like this was a lot of pages spent pining, depressed, and expecting this big reunion and at least some sort of solution that never really came. I also felt that everything was a bit too convenient for the detective and for all of the characters when I think about it.
As I said, Caroline’s writing is beautiful, and for me that alone was worth the read, and I will continue to read any further novels she writes.
3.5/5 🌟
