You Can Never Tell by Sarah Warburton
4.0
3.5 stars
You can never tell us a dual timeline story that follows a podcast show reliving the events of a serial killer and subsequently how these events affect our main character Cassie.
You can never tell was a mix of suspense, family drama and even a little murder mystery. It was pretty comparable to many other thriller stories out in the world today, but I did like the take on adding the podcast as a reliable narrator to fill in the gaps that Cassie could not.
One of the main issues I had with this book was the character portrayals and how different they were by each page. Most were set up, they were sketchy, rude, racist, ignorant etc but then one simple conversation later Cassie had learned that they're completely normal and misunderstood. She was EXTREMELY quick to judge others, especially with what her past was. I found her very niave and her "dream husband" kind of a class A jerk.
The story was interesting and kept me wanting to read, I just wanted that big plot twist I was waiting for instead of the slow burn.
