And Then You Were Gone
by R.J. Jacobs
Massive eye roll. I’m actually really pissed that I spent so much time and energy reading this book and hoping for it to get better!! It was a massive snooze fest and the plot like was so stupid.
First of all- the fact that Paolo WAS ALIVE was pretty shocking, but then him showing up to save her at the very last second was so annoying especially when he quickly explained his whole life story (during the time the police took to get there which was a lot especially since the ambulance had been there for a while) and then just ran into the bushes and suddenly nobody could even find him? Are you kidding? How did nobody go after him or find him? And he was so emotionless telling her all of this which made no sense considering they were about to be engaged.
That being said CAL ENDING UP BEING THE LOVE INTEREST?? That was plain stupid. He came out of nowhere with his nosy ass daughter and Emily bothers the shit out of him only to end up together afterwards?? Like Paolo was “dead” and you’re searching for his killer to avenge his death but instead you find a lover COME ONNNNN and it’s all just thrown in the end like ok? Another thing that was just thrown in was her father- like ok? It was weird that he caught the disease and she falls for a man who’s making a vaccine for that disease- it was just unnecessary.
I felt like the author used her bipolar disorder as a personality trait- although in the about author - it states that he is a Psychologist and teaches abnormal psych and such but the way he presented bipolar disorder was only when it was convenient. She didn’t take her meds or sleep for like 3 days and she was fine in the end?? When I’m the beginning she said she would feel it if she took her meds an hour too late- like make up your mind.
Overall really slow and stupid book. Paolo is a little bitch and I feel bad that Emily got dragged for being bipolar but was right about the killer being in the lab in the end.
