A review by archermoony
That Weekend by Kara Thomas
4.0
This is a YA mystery about 3 best friends. They spend the night at a lake house, with plans to go camping on Saturday. Sunday rolls around, and Claire is the only one found. She has no memory of anything that happened Saturday, or Sunday. Kat and Jesse are missing, and Claire is going to do what she can to figure it out.
This book was written really well. I’m always drawn to the premise of one survivor, and finding the clues out as we go. It hasn’t always been written good, but Kara does an excellent job. I like how the story is broken up into sections, and the way everything comes perfectly together. We are left with no questions and all the strings tie together.
Even though we don’t get a lot from Kat or Jesse throughout the story, the ending gives us the right amount of information to see character growth and change.
I really, really felt bad for Kat. I wish things could have turned out differently for her, and Jesse is just disgusting. Iykyk.
I didn’t really have a solid idea of what could have happened through the story honestly - When we got near the end of the book I was thinking of it going an entirely different way than it did but the ending was so much better than what I thought was going to happen.
The characters are written well. We see a lot of different kind of personalities being portrayed, but they all build and we see good character development with a lot of them.
I recommend this!
