Hold Tight by Harlan Coben
3.0
A lot of independent thoughts.
I can tell this book was written by a man, the violence and description of said violence and fights gave that away.
I see this book is classified as a thriller but I would more call it a screenplay with really old technology references that are laughable in 2023. It very much felt like it would be better as a limited TV series rather than a book because the insane amount of different writing perspectives is wild and hard to keep up with.
About 80% into the book I started to be interested in how all the tie togethers would happen and everything would play out but ultimately it just kind of fell a bit flat. There were a few things revealed that we couldn't have guessed but for the most part the author himself spoiled the plots of some of it.
Also I really wasn't keen on the start of the book being from Marianne's perspective, it just made me think it might not be a book I wanted to read but once I got through that it was okay.
