The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz
3.0

This book was decent overall. While some readers mentioned finding the twists predictable, I didn’t foresee them as quickly—likely because I was multitasking while listening. As a result, the thriller elements genuinely surprised me, especially toward the end. However, the main character, Jacob, was difficult to connect with. His constant lamenting about the disappointments in his life made him hard to root for and he came across as a bit of a coward. I kept wishing he’d stick up for himself. Additionally, the author’s tendency to overanalyze every conversation caused the pacing to drag in several places, which dampened the thriller-y experience.
