Don't You Cry by Mary Kubica
1.0
“...a noise. A racket. A clamor. A whole hullabaloo.” This is just a sample of one of the many unnecessary lists you’re in for if you pick this up, which I strongly urge against, dear readers. Save yourselves.
My eyes still hurt from all the rolling they were involuntarily doing while reading. Someone called this book a “slow burn,” but I’d more accurately call it someone trying to use a lighter that’s out of fluid and after so many flicks, they just toss it in the trash and walk away. I did not see an 18 year old boy nor a young 20’s girl represented in those pages, but instead characters so forced I wanted to vomit. No young person, and I really do mean this, both announces they’re sitting “criss-cross applesauce” AND admits to all the one night stands they’re having. And don't even get me started on the constant use of the phrase "to boot."
So many times I wanted to shake the main character. Call the police. Call your roommate. Don’t cover for her at work. STOP BEING AN IDIOT. There was absolutely no suspense, and the ending? ABSURD. Not everything has to be a GD love story. Read the room, Mary K. There’s a girl who was just rescued after being tortured and kidnapped – no one needed a first kiss right now. The praise for this book is baffling.
