It Could Be Anyone by Jaime Lynn Hendricks

3.0

---

I both liked parts of this book and disliked parts of this book at the same time. It Could Be Anyone moves quickly and is dialogue driven. I never figured out what really happened to Trevor until it was revealed at the end. That makes a thriller/mystery book good. However, I struggled a bit with the style of writing by this author. The writing felt very juvenile to me at times, and it felt like that author was trying too hard to connect with a younger reader. For instance, there was a non-conversational sentence, “The internal struggle was real.” I understand wanted to connect with a younger audience, but don’t forget the older audience that loves these types of books as well. I’m also not sure that some of the events in the book made sense, like the circumstances of the brunch that occurred right before he proposed. It just didn’t sit right with me.

For these reasons, I can give this book a solid 3 stars. I think any mystery lover will enjoy this book, even if it wasn’t as suspenseful as I would have like it to be.
