And Then You Were Gone
by R.J. Jacobs
I don't have personal experience with mental illness, specifically bipolar disorder, but a close friend was diagnosed a number of years ago, so when I read the description of this book, I felt intrigued. Sadly, Emily just bothered me. Her only saving grace was that she had a diagnosable illness versus all the other female leads in thrillers who just drink too much while trying to solve a mystery, but her mismanagement of her medication really got to me. Emily was selfish and irrational and probably one of my least favorite characters I’ve read in a while.
Honestly, I didn’t really like anyone in this novel.
The many mentions of pandemics and H1N-viruses were somewhat shocking considering the current state of the world.
All that said, this thriller was very interesting and unpredictable and I did really enjoy it. I listened on audiobook and found myself making excuses to listen when I normally wouldn't.
I’d recommend it to fans of thrillers but be warned that the mental illness aspects are kind of infuriating and the characters are all awful.
