vanishing_librarian 's review for:
Into the Water
by Paula Hawkins
Let me start by saying that I was expecting something different from this book. The summary sounds to me like Julia (the sister who comes back to her hometown) would have a bigger part in this book.
However, there were so many different POVs that I struggled to keep track of who is who and whose story I was actually interested in. Don't get me wrong, there were some parts that I found to be quite interesting e.g. the explanations of what happened in Julia's childhood, etc.
The ending also was not too exciting to me. I feel like the story could have been so much more than it actually was. There were references to women who lived in the town in the past but I feel like some of these stories were just not really relevant to the overall story.
I feel like this book was too much of a slow-moving mystery for me with way too many POVs. Hence, I can only give it two stars.
