If I Disappear
by Eliza Jane Brazier
{Thank you to Berkley for my gifted copy in exchange for my honest review.}
After reading the book synopsis for If I Disappear, I couldn't wait to dive in. I am a fan of true crime podcasts and I also enjoy a good suspense novel, so this was right up my reading alley. When a true-crime podcaster goes missing, one of her biggest listener fans, Sera, is on the case. Brazier drew me in and the details made me also feel like I was along the ride for this journey.
I did struggle a bit with the writing style and sometimes found it made me a bit confused. I think this would have been a more solid read for me if the characters were more layered and we had a bit more background information. I don't mind an "unlikeable character" but for me as a reader, it is harder to relate with them when they feel a bit too one dimensional. All in all, this was a unique read with many twists and turns and I would recommend it to readers who enjoy a suspenseful read but don't need ALL the details along the way. 3.5 stars.
