This Has NEVER Happened to Me While Reading A Book! Review: The End of Her {Shari Lapena}
Goodreads Synopsis of The End of Her {Shari Lapena}:
It starts with a shocking accusation...
Stephanie and Patrick are recently married, with new-born twins. While Stephanie struggles with the disorienting effects of sleep deprivation, there's one thing she knows for certain – she has everything she ever wanted.
Then a woman from his past arrives and makes a shocking accusation about his first wife. He always claimed her death was an accident – but she says it was murder.
He insists he's innocent, that this is nothing but a blackmail attempt. But is Patrick telling the truth? Or has Stephanie made a terrible mistake?
How will it end?
My Review of The End of Her {Shari Lapena}:
I was not a fan of this book.
It was...fine. The writing was...fine.
Overall, it was just so BORING. 334 pages of nothing happening! And when things DID happen (even big things) they were still just so boring.
I'm not a true crime/courtroom/detective fan and a large portion of this book was focused on just that.
Parts of this book were so predictable and the characters all kept blending into each other.
Something Happened to Me While Reading That Has NEVER Happened to Me Before:
Now here's the CRAZIEST part of my review. Something happened to me while reading that has never happened to me before. A big twist was on the horizon and I had NO CLUE it was coming...until...THE AUTHOR spoiled it for me. Ummm WHAT?! I would never have put it together until she very clearly laid it all out just pages before it was supposed to shock me. Again...HUH?! Like, how does THAT happen??? I would have been absolutely floored by this twist and it would've made the whole book so much better for me but the fact that she told me it was coming just made me dislike this book even more. How did an editor not catch that and maybe advise against it? Mind blown...but clearly not by the "shocking" twist.
My thoughts on Shari Lapena's books are a bit all over the place. I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED The Couple Next Door (how I have not reviewed that amazing book on my blog? Read it, it's awesome.) I didn't love A Stranger in the House (read my review HERE). I really enjoyed An Unwanted Guest (read my review HERE). I'm interested in reading Someone We Know but am a bit nervous due to my less than stellar track record with Shari Lapena's books. Have any of you read it? I'd be curious to hear your thoughts? While it's on my list to read, it's clearly not very high on there, lol.
Bottom Line:
Eh.
Have you read The End of Her? What did you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
