Still Beating by Jennifer Hartmann
3.75
dark emotional medium-paced

Hmm, this was so highly anticipated for me and it fell flat and now I'm sad 🥲

I thought this would be darker? The 3 weeks were surprisingly light to me, kinda glossed over with little emotion. I didn't feel the terror, anxiety, hopelessness or any emotion from them really. I did tear up at Blizzard tho - but dogs 🤷🏼‍♀️

Also, the way that Dean and Cora were treated when they got back - with very little sympathy - ESPECIALLY FROM HER BITCH OF A SISTER - pissed me off.

Overall, I would have liked more depth to the story, more feelings...I'm not really sure how to say what was missing for me 😅
