Then She Was Gone | Book Review 🤨

📚 Book Review

📖 Book name: Then She Was Gone

✍🏻 Author: Lisa Jewel

🤨 Genre: Thriller

🌟 My rating: 3.75 🌟

💭 My review: I give this book a 3.75 🌟 because the first half is very slow and kinda boring. In hindsight, there was a reason for it but could have been a bit better. The last half was better and thrilling and suspenseful. I didn’t find the ending super shocking or twisty because I pretty much had already worked out how everything would play out. But the ending was still good.
