Leave the World Behind by Rumaan Alam

2.0

Frankly, had to force myself to finish this one. Lot of uncomfortable focus on the teenage daughter’s body, unnecessarily descriptive sex scenes, and it seemed that every other chapter gave me at least one instance of “ick”, and not in the way I’m looking for when reading a thriller. Characters often seemingly overreact to any event taking place. Maybe I just ‘didn’t get it’, but overall, not for me.
