Then She Was Gone

book cover


I could not put it down and read it in under a day! It was very eerie and distributing, and I liked reading the multiple POVs which slowly revealed the truth of the girl’s disappearance. There were just the right amount of characters for the reader to mistrust, making it fun to form theories. Even though the subject matter was very dark, I liked how the book ended on a positive note. I just wish it was slightly less predictable and had more plot twists, because I did guess a few of the reveals.

Some entries were really interesting and led me to more authors to add to my reading list.

Nice refreshing read, the story takes you back to the slow and charming life of the 1950s. You will get connected to the strong woman characters as you go along.

The Cheat Sheet

My biggest issue here was the writing style. It felt somehow even more immature than YA, the dialogue was straight out of a cheesy TV sitcom, and everything felt a touch too cliche and cringey. The characters spoke and behaved like 12 year olds. It was unfortunately too millennial for me and was just not my vibe, so it even affected the cute friends-to-lovers relationship. Definitely very cookie-cutter and basic for a romance-- nothing too exciting or new. I’m also realizing that I surprisingly don’t love the mutual pining trope-- it leads to miscommunication that isn’t cute, just frustrating and annoying.

Excellent read with some unexpected twists. Collin’s really did a good job giving Snow some dimension and helping you see another side of the nemesis of the original 3 books.

Great airplane book! The action moves right along and the four characters all have enough complexity to keep you engaged from beginning to end.

This books was very confusing and not well written, although the illustrations were fantastical and wonderful

I did not like this book as much as the firm. It was slow and not as suspenseful
