La fin du livre a failli faire perdre une Ă©toile Ă ma note, mais j'ai suffisamment aimĂ© le reste pour lui laisser les 4 Ă©toiles. Ce n'Ă©tait pas transcendant, ce n'est pas un livre qui restera dans les mĂ©moires, mais j'ai eu ce que je cherchais : un thriller young adult avec un mystĂšre qui m'a tenue en haleine (mĂȘme si j'avais anticipĂ© le dĂ©nouement).
Le seul vrai bémol, comme dit plus haut, c'est sa fin : j'ai trouvé la révélation sur Jesse assez inutile à ce stade de l'histoire, et dérangeante.
Certains personnages se sont rĂ©vĂ©lĂ©s avoir un caractĂšre cachĂ© qui m'a plus exaspĂ©rĂ©e qu'autre chose, et une certaine action de Claire est expĂ©diĂ©e en 2 pages alors qu'il s'agit tout de mĂȘme de quelque chose d'important. Ă ce stade, j'avais juste hĂąte d'en finir avec ce livre. Je pense rĂ©ellement que l'histoire aurait Ă©tĂ© meilleure si elle s'Ă©tait arrĂȘtĂ©e Ă la rĂ©vĂ©lation du pot aux roses.

Honestly the premise was really intriguing but I feel that all the build up and suspense didnât really end with a satisfying conclusion. Overall it was very well written but I just think the ending didnât do the book justice.

This was so good!! I loved reading from Claireâs POV. The twists were so crazy and I guessed half of one of them but I didnât expect any of the other ones. It was insane! I can see why the last twist might turn some people away from the book, but I was so shocked by it and thought it made the book even better. The only reason itâs 4.5 stars for me is because it just didnât have that 5 star âšfeelingâš
I definitely recommend it if you want to read a mystery/thriller with crazy twists!!

It was a pretty good book up until the last hour and the ending was awful.

This is a YA mystery about 3 best friends. They spend the night at a lake house, with plans to go camping on Saturday. Sunday rolls around, and Claire is the only one found. She has no memory of anything that happened Saturday, or Sunday. Kat and Jesse are missing, and Claire is going to do what she can to figure it out.
This book was written really well. Iâm always drawn to the premise of one survivor, and finding the clues out as we go. It hasnât always been written good, but Kara does an excellent job. I like how the story is broken up into sections, and the way everything comes perfectly together. We are left with no questions and all the strings tie together.
Even though we donât get a lot from Kat or Jesse throughout the story, the ending gives us the right amount of information to see character growth and change.
I really, really felt bad for Kat. I wish things could have turned out differently for her, and Jesse is just disgusting. Iykyk.
I didnât really have a solid idea of what could have happened through the story honestly - When we got near the end of the book I was thinking of it going an entirely different way than it did but the ending was so much better than what I thought was going to happen.
The characters are written well. We see a lot of different kind of personalities being portrayed, but they all build and we see good character development with a lot of them.
I recommend this!

WOAH!!! I could not put this book down. It was ultimately everything I was looking for in a mystery/thriller novel. 10000000% recommend with its inexplicable ending and plot twists :)) btw, it automatically lost a star for the GROSS ending like what possessed the author to add thatâŠvery unnecessary.

I needed a quick mystery/ thriller to get me out of the reading rut I'm in and this book really delivered on that element. I read my Kindle to winddown before bed and every night I was so excited to pick this up! initially, I was going to rate this four stars, but some elements of the ending kind of left a sour taste on my tongue.
That Weekend is about our main character, Claire who decides to skip prom and spend the weekend sneaking away with her best friends Kat and Jesse (who are also dating), to Kat's grandma's lake house. No one knows they're going to be spending the next few days there and all is well until Claire wakes up being saved in the woods. Her friends are nowhere to be seen, she's covered in blood, her head hurts, and she has no memory of the day prior. Claire believes it's Saturday, but it's actually Sunday and over the course of this novel she's trying to get back the memories of late Friday and the entirety of Saturday that she lost. Where did her friends go? Why was she alone? How did she get on that mountain?
This was so quick and fast-paced! The first half has a past and present timeline whilst the second half has a dual POV. I was kept guessing throughout the first half, but the second half basically tells you what happened and you're just reading it to see how exactly this will play out.
Whilst I loved most of this book, as previously said the ending lowered my rating. There's a dynamic between Kat and Jesse that gets revealed at the end and I didn't find it necessary. Kara Thomas could have picked ANYTHING else and I wouldn't have been like "Oh..." There's a scene between them that I also felt didn't really fit Jesse's character, but perhaps my idea of him was warped in the beginning since we see him through Claire's POV since she is in love with him.

Alright this book was definitely a wild ride! I was not expecting so many of those turns, and THAT ENDING?!?! Iâm still trying to decide how I feel about it. I think Kara Thomas did a really great job writing teenage characters and making the book feel as though these things were happening in real life. Overall, this was a pretty intriguing read!

RATING: 2.5 STARS
I really enjoyed Thomas's [b:The Cheerleaders|30969755|The Cheerleaders|Kara Thomas|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1508532886l/30969755._SY75_.jpg|51586861] so was excited to see her newest novel was out. For the most part I enjoyed the book, and the mystery had me gripped. The last 40-ish% of the book lost me. I just found it a bit too much. Maybe I have been an adult too long, but it got too Gossip Girl-y (I also abandoned the show after a few seasons). I do like Thomas's writing and will always try her books.
