The Girl You Killed by Leslie Wolfe
2.0
This book felt sloppy. Juvenile writing, unbelievable plot points, awful pacing, repetitive conversations, and flat characters. The snippets of the court case at the end of the majority of the chapters was jarring. I also had a hard time establishing what was going on when new chapters would begin as the story would drastically jump somewhere/to other characters that didn’t feel natural.

My feelings on this one are very conflicting.
I absolutely loved Darryl’s chapters from 2001/2002. He was a complex character with so much depth and intrigue and honestly his parts of the story are what kept me going. My only issue with him is the unanswered questions I was left with - his story felt unresolved after so much buildup.
The chapters set in 2019 with the rest of the characters felt very mid. There wasn’t anything special about them, the characters were flat, and they slowed the story down immensely. It wasn’t until the very end that it felt like there was a point to them and I think a lot of it could have been cut in favor of wrapping up Darryl’s loose ends.
Overall this wasn’t the worst thriller I’ve ever read and I did find it hard to put down.
