The Night Before
by Wendy Walker
Why is everyone hyping this up? This was so, so, ridiculously stupid. I’m debating a one star, but what saves this book is the pacing, and the not completely awful writing. I could bear to continue reading it, and it didn’t bore me out of my mind.
I hated the main character, Laura, who is the perfect ‘pick me’, ‘s(he’s) br(ok)en’, ‘quirky’ type girl. A DIRECT quote from her is “...But I’m not like those other girls.” No joke. I cannot express how many times I rolled my eyes.
Each twist made my eyes roll back even farther, making the book seem even more of a waste of my time. And I’m not even mentioning the dialogue, especially within the therapy chapters, which is so robotic, nothing like any real person would every actually say.
Yes, there are worse books out there. Even so, this one is no gem.
