What a mess

Revisado: 03-24-23

This book was pointless. All the shenanigans they got up to in the book were unnecessary. It feels like this book was rushed, lacked structure and thought.

Not my favorite read

Revisado: 09-26-18

The first story was best but then it continued to go down hill form there. I wouldn’t recommend

Predictable

Revisado: 05-24-18

The killer was predictable. No crazy twist until the end, but by that time it’s too late to be anything more than an ok mystery

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This story was so funny and cute. I loved the reimagining and all the characters were likeable, even the villains. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to have a good laugh

Way too short for the price

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, finished it on my commute to work

Any additional comments?

I wish the story was longer. I didn't like the cliffhanger.

This was my first J.L. Armentrout book, and I have to say that I am hooked. I really liked this book.

Sammy comes back home after having gone missing for 4 days. Sammy has no memories of what happened to her or whether her best frenemy is dead. She slowly starts to remember the truth about her not so perfect life, and the truth may be too much for Sammy to bear.

What I liked: I thought the book was well written. I really liked the main character and that does not happen too often for me, maybe only twice before (Emily from Since you've been gone and Scout from to kill a mockingbird). All the supporting characters were great. I especially liked Carson, he was so dreamy lol. I also like her twin brother Scott and his gf Julie, they were both very sweet to Sammy considering how mean she was to everyone. I liked that the accident gave Sammy a second chance at life (literally and figuratively), she regained some of that innocence she had lost the day she met Cassie. I loved the romance in the book. It wasn't cheesy or out of the blue. I actually felt how much Carson loved Sammy <3

What I didn't like: Sammy's parents. They were both strange. Not very affectionate with each other or their kids. They cared more about what society thought of them than their own daughter. Im glad Sammy's mother had a change of heart at the end of the book, she stopped drinking, and let go of some of that social hierarchy bs that hindered her soul.

Good story but not as good as the Julian chapter

Revisado: 03-02-15

I can't wait to see Charlotte perspective and see more of Auggie. His kindness pulls at my heart strings

Disappointed

Revisado: 12-10-14

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Change the ending.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I was mad

Any additional comments?

I'm giving this book a 3.5.

I don't even know where to start. It wasn't the Epic conclusion I was hoping for.

The endings are always rushed

Revisado: 12-10-14

Any additional comments?

I'm giving it a 4.5. The ending seemed rushed. I've noticed that all of Rainbow Rowell's books end abruptly, leaving you wanting another chapter or maybe even another book. I wish this book would have ended differently. However her writing style is beautiful and I fall in love with all her characters.

Slow story development

Revisado: 12-10-14

Who was your favorite character and why?

ROBIN!

Have you listened to any of Robert Glenister’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, the silkworm. It was the same, since it was the same character. Sometimes the accent was hard for me to follow

Any additional comments?

While I loved going along with Strike as he uncovered clues to solve Lula Landry's death, some of the books pacing was too slow for my liking. Strike interviewed all of Lula's circle of friends and I don't know if it was just me missing something but I could never get my head around some of the interviews. To be honest they seemed pointless; we never got enough information from each interview to make an educated guess on who the killer was. It wasn't until the end, when Strike explained it that we finally got the whole story. The book was missing something. I love J.K. Rowling and I wanted to love this book so much. However, as I was reading it I could not help but compare it to the pretty little liars series when I was hoping/wanting/expecting a masterpiece like Sherlock Holmes. I gave the book a 4, because I feel like the series has potential. I'm currently reading the silkworm. So far the book is taking a similar turn. I hope it's not a let down :(
