This book was..... okay. I knew there was a twist ending and I really wanted to know what it was, so I finished it. But I was bored for 75% of the time. The goings on felt very mundane and mostly unrelated to the actual twist at the end. Overall, entertaining enough but I likely won't think about this book ever again.
Seriously predictable and very slow character development. The ending was great but why wasn’t,the entire book as interesting as the final three chapters?
Thank you to the publishers for this book You Shouldnât Have Come Here in exchange for my honest review.
Unfortunately, I was highly disappointed with this book from the beginning. I couldnât get into the writing style or the story at all. As I have loved every book Iâve read by this author, the fact that I didnât like this book is very disheartening for me. I wonât stop reading her books just because of one, though.
Update: I tried to read this book again via audiobook. Fortunately, it was a little bit better for me through this format, rather than through a physical copy.
Trigger warning: Body shaming

Jeneva Rose KILLS IT WITH THE TWISTS!
Let me first day, that I started this book last year, and at first I just couldn't get into it... That was before I read "The Perfect Marriage" which was one of my TOP reads for last year so I KNEW I had to try again, knowing how amazing she was at writing the twist... Endings you really never see coming - even though you THINK you do. There are a million quotes I highlighted and saved in my book but I think I'll keep at just this one...
"Have you ever had an itch in the middle of your back, just out of reach? I have, and I've learned how to scratch it. From a young age, I knew I was different. I wasn't like other kids. Nothing bad ever happened to me. My parents didn't abuse or abandon me. I was never sexually assaulted. I was just different. My brain was wired like the handy work of an electrician in the middle of an apprenticeship - not right by normal standards, but it still worked, just a bit different."
I really thought I knew where this was going... I had even seen a spoiler on someone's review (you didn't hit the spoiler tag - please don't ever be THAT person, a lot of us read books based on reviews) and so I thought I had it all figured out, and boy was I wrong! I will be completely honest and say that no, it's not as amazing as The Perfect Marriage, but it is without a doubt, a 4 star read and I'm so glad I decided to try it again.
As always with thrillers, please make sure you check trigger warnings as some of the content is a little dark - I will add what I think should be considered a trigger warning below.
All in all, if you haven't read any of Jeneva Roses books... I'll kindly ask.. WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE?? I suggest grabbing one of her many books, a nice cold drink, a comfy blanket... And just get wrapped up in all her stories where she weaves a tale of mystery and excitement! I promise you won't regret it. She has quickly became my favorite authors to read in the thriller genre.... Oh! And her sequel to 'The Perfect Marriage' -- 'The Perfect Divorce ' comes out in April so I highly, highly suggest you pick it up and be ready to DEVOUR all things Sarah Marshall!
Happy Reading, Bookworms!!
