The No-Show by Beth O'Leary
3.0
emotional medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated

everybody and their mother was practically begging me to read this book because of the big twist at the end and I will be honest... it was a pretty good one. however, I just never ever felt that connected to any of the characters (minus jane, who is literally my innermost sensitive parts personified), so the twist just didn't land as hard as I wanted it to.

(I thought I was going to sob) (I got a baby tear out, at most) (BUT... I did just read tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, so if you are trying to make me cry, it is going to take a LOT).

wasn't a bad book. just difficult for me to get into. I see why it works for so many people, though!
