The It Girl

My thoughts about this book The lt girl crazy attractive,griping end is so good seems killer is since less or anybody else during the riding I feel that I am on the gurney were many places we say that Oh,my goodness, Oh no ,it can't be done,way??? and Thanks God.

This one was really good!

I picked up this book as a recommendation to me and sad to say it was not it for me. An incredibly slow burn that I didn’t even want to finish :/ But I did stick with it to give it it’s fair share of time and wanted the resolution. Truly didn’t grab me in at all, and even when it did, it hardly did the job- and it wasn’t until about 85% through that the story picked up. I’ve heard gleaming reviews on this author, but did not like this book.

PLOT TWISTS GO CRAAAZY. A girl’s friend gets killed and like 10 years later she finds out that the killer is actually innocent, and the real killer might be somebody who is actually close to her. Book structure is simple switching between before and after the murder. Near the end gets SO good, you know like when you rip through the book bc so many things are happening back to back and so many things are getting revealed and you’re just like OHMYGOD and NOOO and DAMN and FUCK and THANK GOD

I wanted to like this book. I slogged my through it. But just didn’t love it. The central character, It Girl April, was really only a side character. While the character with the primary perspective, Hannah, just wasn’t that interesting. She was tentative, neurotic and boring. I really don’t see why April liked her so much. Or why her husband, Will, put up with her. I loved all the other characters -just not the self-doubting, angst-ridden Hannah. This book was also just way too long. For a similar storyline, try In My Dreams I Hold a Knife. Same plot, but at a rollicking pace. I will say the narrator of the audiobook did an amazing job with all the voice-work.
