Stay Awake by Megan Goldin
3.5
dark mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

At first, I did not like it. The writing felt clunky and the main character’s decisions were so stupid it was hard to get invested in her. But as the story developed and more layers were added, I got really into it. I’m not sure I love the ending finding out who did it since it felt like it maybe wasn’t explained enough why he did it (I think we as readers are supposed to just assume it was due to the
infidelity
but a gruesome double homicide is a pretty extreme reaction to that for a normal person. The ending wrapped up very neatly but maybe a bit too neatly for my taste. Overall enjoyable but don’t think I’d reread or recommend to others.
