A review by mrsbooknerd
The Night She Disappeared by Lisa Jewell
Did not finish book.
I gave up with this book around the 40% mark.
I did enjoy the thought of the overall plot but it was just too slow burning for me. The first quarter or so was just repetitive with little progression.
I didn't particilarly connect with any of the narrative voices,.with perhaps the exception of Kim who I sympathised with but not enough to keep pushing on with the rest of the book.
The narrative voices sort of worked in parallel but they were all set at similar times and they all just sounded the same.. None of them were overly unique from each other and at times I had to go back and remind myself who I was reading about.
Normally if I do not finish I would skip to the end to see who did what and what happened but I just wasn't invested enough.
