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

1.0

I felt as though the summary of this book was completely misleading. This is not at all a thriller and is barely a mystery. The book focuses on the girl that was not abducted and is so utterly absorbed in this girl and the girl's mother that the missing girl barely seems to be cared about. The characters are very self-absorbed and details about them, particularly the mother, that have absolutely no bearing on the plot are constantly included. I grew to rather dislike the characters and I did not really feel compelled by them or their story at all. Now the girl that was abducted, her I would have liked more from but the author failed in this regard. In addition, I found the writing to be bland and I can say the same for the story overall.

Disclosure: ARC received from Netgalley & publisher in exchange for an honest review. (They may regret this.) Any and all quotes were taken from an advanced edition subject to change in the final edition.
