The Day She Disappeared

De: Lisa Hall

Narrado por: Sofia Engstrand

Never go home.

Sixteen years ago, Becky told a lie. And someone died. Now she’s back on the tiny island off the windswept Dorset coast where she grew up. The place she swore she’d never return to. She is home for her mum’s funeral.

The islanders make clear she isn’t wanted. They haven’t forgotten what she did. Some ignore her. Some won’t look her in the eye.

Becky wants to get away. But she hears a story that she can’t ignore. About a teenage girl who went missing a year ago. Some say she left for the mainland with her boyfriend. But the girl’s sister thinks they’re lying.

As a storm rages towards the island, Becky knows someone in this tightly-knit community is hiding the blackest of secrets.

dumb

This book is stupid, obvious, dumb, poorly written, and way too long. The female lead was so naive and the bad guy was obvious from the beginning.

A Waste Of Time

I don’t get it…this story (according to the plot summary) had EVERYTHING going for it) just fails in every way.
Weak character development, poorly written (it’s incredibly basic, elementary) not one character that’s “fleshed out” enough to become relatable, and there’s never any atmosphere established…
It’s not creepy or thought provoking, I can’t come up anything good to say.
It’s boring, truly it put me to sleep three nights in a row until I gave up.
And the story itself just isn’t as interesting as the summary makes it seem.
Don’t bother with this one.
I was so excited to start once I read the description and heard the sample, but it fizzled into nothing.
Weak.
Narration is good, that was definitely not the issue.
