Lock Every Door by Riley Sager
DID NOT FINISH: 39%

 
I could not carry on with this after the
gun
was found. SURELY that’s the time to leave? Jules is just so dumb; I couldn’t do it anymore. It’s just the same thought patterns over and over again, pretty accurate for anxiety rep, pretty god damn boring to read. 
 
Other things that annoyed me: 

- "I now have only four hundred and thirty-two dollars to my name." – said a woman who was saying she was completely destitute, it’s no way NEAR as dramatic of a situation as she made it sound. Yeah, it’s not a lot of money, but it is some, especially after being out of work for so long and having no financial obligations.
 
- Jules’ parents were absolutely fucking pathetic. Your kid moans about having to eat off-brand food once, and instead of having a sensible conversation about it, or just letting your kid sulk, you “never bought the generic brand of anything” again?? Bat shit parenting. 

Clearly Riley Sager is not for me.
