If You're Reading This by Kiersten Modglin
2.0
There just wasn't enough to this book to keep me all that interested.
The flashbacks to the wedding were boring and uneventful. Current day was also boring and uneventful. Literally nothing happens in this book. There's a moment there where someone might be following her around, but… that's as far as we get into any kind of suspense. Oh, that and some drama with Colbie's sister that seemed out of place and pointless.
We didn't dive deep enough into the whole mess with Paige, which, in my opinion, should have been where some of those flashbacks came from. I needed more about Phil and his sketchy past. The way that it was, we were given so little information about him that I really didn't care much about his death.
Once the truth was all laid out at the end, it just felt like facts were being presented to me. This is what happened, this is why, and that is that. I had no emotional connection to the characters or to their relationships with one another.
Then we're made to accept the facts and poof, the book is over. No real closure or conclusion. Here's what happened. The end.
I can't recommend this book.
