Parents Weekend: A Novel by Alex Finlay
3.0
adventurous mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated

 This was a fast paced, keep you on your toes, read. I honestly went into this book totally blind and enjoyed the journey we went on. We're introduced immediately to new characters for the first several chapters and plunged straight into the drama, 4 students missing on parent's weekend at college, other than being in the same capstone group, why was it these 4?

I love a true crime style fiction book so loved the format. Trying to keep up with all the characters was hard initially but then we got moving and it was easier to keep the connections. There were some surprises along the way but it wasn't overly suspenseful, I love being fooled by the author but I didn't have that happen here, it was a bit predictable as we got to the closing chapter.

This was still a good read and a short one at that so if you need a quick zippy read, this is a good choice!

Thanks NetGalley for getting this in my hands prior to the pub date!
