We Were Never Here by Andrea Bartz
3.0
This was a good book. I feel a bit of a disconnect though, because while this book had all the makings of greatness, I found it just okay. I can see why it is loved by many but it slightly missed that mark for me.
Emily and Kristen are best friends who love to travel together, having adventures. But when an encounter with a stranger turns deadly (and not for the first time), Emily is having trouble getting back to normal. Kristen seems like she is okay though and Emily can’t understand her cavalier attitude to what they did.
Emily annoyed me and Kristen freaked me out. I didn’t enjoy how naive Emily was through most of this book. It was one of those glaringly obvious situations that seem so unrealistic - like why hadn’t Emily caught on sooner…
As I said, this had all the makings of a great read but the execution was disjointed. Good but not great.
