How to Disappear by Gillian McAllister
2.0
2 stars
This book is a drama with a bit of mystery and no thrilling part.
The story is about a teenage girl who is witnessing a crime and then the criminals are coming after her. The police only way to protect her and her family, since there isn't enough evidence to accuse and condemn the criminals, sends them into witness protection program.
So this happens in the first few chapters and the next 25 chapters (or 2/3 of the book) we hear the constant negative thoughts of the mother and the daughter of how tough it is to be uprooted and moved and forget everyone and everything that used to be your life before. We all understand that is tough but having a whole book just about this seems too much. Plus the characters have a very negative mindset and instead of dealing with it and moving forward (since it was this or death) they just keep complaining the wholeeeeeee timmeeeeee).
The only partially good things was the ending when, some people were declared dead, which that's the way it should have turned out given the amount of mistakes and breaking the rules that happened.
However even that was taken away and a different ending was given to the book.
