I don't think it was badly written, but I didn't enjoy it. I also think it should have a list of trigger warnings included. I know the things mentioned won't bother everyone, but I appreciate the warnings. There are things I don't enjoy reading about and this book has quite a few of them. Add to that the fact that I didn't actually like any of the characters and found the ending depressing. It's definitely not a book I would read again. I'm not sure if I will read anything else from this author or not. Maybe, if it doesn't appear to be so depressing. ( ) The Quiet Girl by S.F. Kosa is a 2020 Sourcebooks Landmark publication. This is another book that has languished on my TBR list for a good while. I don’t recall why I was so keen to read it at that time, but now I am scratching my head a little. I was intrigued at first- Mina, a romance author, goes missing, leaving her new husband baffled- a solid enough set up, but it soon becomes confusing. I struggled to remain invested for a while, but stuck with it, thinking I’d eventually be able to sync everything together- which I did, but it was very slow going, requiring extra attention and I didn’t feel up to working overtime. The story did get very interesting in the last few chapters. Some very nice twists kept me on my toes and engaged more than I had been up to that point. But the ending was a gut-punch- one that after going the extra mile with this book, lost every ounce of ground it had gained. I’m afraid I’m an outlier on this one- many of my reading peers loved this one- so be sure to check out the many positive reviews. You may have better luck with it than I did. 2 stars I FINALLY finished this book. I had read up to the last 20 pages when Libby not only took it back, did not have another copy anymore! Nor did my local library! So, a search through any library system began and I finally got it last night, sat in front of the library, finished the dang book and immediately returned it. Anyway, how was the book and was it worth all that? I did enjoy it but it took a LONG time for me to get into it. I would say at least 60-70% of the book read until it got interesting enough to *must* read. But at that point, it got really intense and I was really annoyed that it disappeared. However, a lot of it is very disjointed as there is a story within a story going on and it's not at all clear who is doing what or why. I also found some of the decisions and dialogue odd and unnatural. Overall, I did enjoy it but was not sure I would. 3.5 stars keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

The police believe that Mina, a successful romance author, simply left, their marriage crumbling before it truly began. But what Alex finds in their empty cottage points him toward a different reality: Mina has always carried a secret. And now she's disappeared. In his hunt for the truth, Alex comes across Layla, a young woman with information to share, who may hold the key to everything his wife has kept hidden.

A compelling narrative that hums with momentum long after the reader is done."â??Maureen Joyce Connolly, author of Little Lovely Things Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
