A review by caffeinatedbookshoarder
All the Missing Girls by Megan Miranda
1.0
is it possible to give a book zero stars? bcs that is what i thought this deserves. no bcs no aspect of the book was even half decent. from unreliable narrators (ones which know suck cous we know they are unreliable but the author thinks the reader is a moron) to the gimmicky story telling style.
telling the story from day 15 to day 1 definitely works (we have all seen it and enjoyed in the secret history) but not like this. the main character intentionally acts dumb on day 15 even though they have 'discovered' the secret by then obviously just to keep us readers in the dark. if the reveal was made in the first chapter (day 15) and then we figure out the exact details throughout the book I would still enjoy it more than this monstrosity.
and who tf thought this was anything gone girl-esque, come out here i just wanna talk!!
oh and the plot twist- i had figured it out in first 3 chapters and then it was just annoying seeing the main characters (killer/s) act so annoying.
overall this book was better left unread on my shelf but hey sometimes we all end up wasting our time on things we thought we would love but didn't. (hate that my fav booktuber's recommendation didn't work for me tho :/
