The book started off very strong, with the narrator digging
a grave and comparing it to running a marathon. I was intrigued! It started off
with so much potential. I usually really like Reece Witherspoon’s book club
picks.
I decided to just listen to this book during my runs. In the
last week I actually found myself going for a run just so that I could finish
the book. Not because I was enjoying the book, but because the story was just
so unrealistic and stupid; I had so hoped that things would improve. It
didn’t.
Every time I listened to it, I found myself rolling my eyes at how stupid the main characters were. But then had to remind myself, it’s a story. The main character irritated me more and more with her stupid decisions and actions. Long and the short of it, the couple should have gone to the police the minute a weird bag crossed their path. Everything that happened after that just verged on absolutely ridiculous.
I got the distinct feeling that the author rushed to finish the book, maybe she also got bored with the absudity of it all.
2/5
