Lost Night

I strangely figured out what happened waaaaay too early in the book and I think that's more because I read so many books in this genre than the author gave anything away.

But, Lindsay was annoying. Her insistence that SHE was Edie's best friend despite having only known her for a short while and Edie had other closer girlfriends was weird.

I don't know. The gaslighting, the weird lying, the fact that too many people didn't call her out on her bullshit was wild. Despite that, the story did fly by for me and I was reading mostly to see if I was right. I definitely enjoyed it, just wasn't my favorite book.

Don't get me wrong, I really was into this book the whole time I was reading it. I'm not sure why I always seem to be disappointed by some of ways in which some really great books end, but I am! Look, I'm no elitist or I never guess what's going to happen, even. Maybe I build the expectations SO high while reading the first and middle parts of these books, that I artificially overhype the ending, for me and only me?? I'll have to work on this behavior, I suppose. Add it to the list.

3.5 rounded up to a 4.

This was a fun and fast read. I really enjoyed the conversational dialogue and thought process of the characters. It read easily.

Lindsay however could be quite annoying and that's why it wasn't the best for me. The premise was amazing though and I liked the refreshing take in the beginning. The ending wasn't the most surprising and the last 30 or so pgs I honestly skimmed. And some of the in-between stuff I really didn't care for.

Overall though it was a cleanse for my reading pallet, especially in the mystery/thriller genre.
