If I Disappear by Eliza Jane Brazier

2.0

---

Welp, this book was incredibly...average. The premise had me so excited, as an avid true crime podcast listener I thought this book would be a wild ride. Unfortunately I just felt slightly annoyed most of the time. The narrator was irritating beyond belief, constantly contradicting herself and telling her story to a person she had never met in real life. She could clearly sense her behavior was erratic but never attempted to take a step back and assess the information from a different angel, leaving you as the reader feeling as if you are reading a character who could never truly exist. I had a lot of hope for this book and spent a lot of time frustrated that I just didn't enjoy it more.
