A review by maya_alicia
When I Am Through With You by Stephanie Kuehn

3.0

I'd give this one a tentative 3.5. I absolutely loved the voice this was written in, very matter of fact no ridiculous metaphors or useless fluffy filler. I also loved that this was set for a majority in the woods, at any given time there's few other places i'd rather be than on a hike to a lake. What I didn't love, now hear me out, is the number of absolutely asinine decisions that were made by all the characters. Now I know it's a thriller so I shouldn't expect good decisions to be made or the plot wouldn't go anywhere but I'm also not one of those people who likes to hate read.
Ya know like in Gone Girl how everyone hated the characters but then loved the book for it? I'm definitely not one of those people. After a certain moment right before the climax I decided that I really didn't care what would end up happening to any of the characters because they had all made their beds. There's probably a whole lot more hidden in this one that I'm missing about the struggle between right and wrong and what that really means or the fact that no one can save you but yourself but I just cannot get past my lack of concern for the characters. Having said all of that though I would definitely recommend this book and am currently adding more books by Stephanie Kuehn to my TBR.
