2.0/5.0- this is the worst “thriller” I've read. I'm always so anxious and my heart pumps against my chest when I've read any other thriller. This? Absolutely no anxiety, no sitting on the edge of my seat wanting/needing to know what happens next. I am absolutely terrible at predicting who the murderer is or who did things... but I saw right through this one. It was a short book yet sooo slow. This whole family spoke in metaphors and I'm trying to figure out whether the author wanted to be inspirational amidst their grief. The plot is interesting but I would not recommend this.
3.0/5.0- I feel like I could write a pretty long review but I'll try to keep it short for myself (woops) - the beginning I didn't connect with her, I didn't think she was funny and it sounded like she wanted to sound relatable but I'm not in any stage of my life relating to her, which is on me not her. Some parts I was like aww okk I understand and feel some more empathy towards her experiences but still can't relate. Towards the second half I felt like I was listening to the same thing again... it felt like I was being gaslit by Libby like it was replaying the same stuff but no... she just repeated herself. She would start a point, digress, and get back to the same point, saying almost the same thing, but then adding some more drama and “inspiration” into what she had just said when she could've ended her point the first time. If it happened once, whatever, but it happened like 3 times so the book (in my head) went from 2 stars to then like 3.5 cause I was liking it and found the middle ground at 3.0. I don't think I'd recommend this for the sake of motivation and inspiration but her life story is interesting.
3.9/5- I loved the relationship with the sisters and I felt myself attached to the characters, the author clearly has a way to paint the full picture but I couldn't give it a 4 just bc I felt some things felt too slow at times and by the end it felt a little rushed. I told myself too many times “when is this part gonna be over?”. Absolutely loved the last like 30% tho.
