The Crash

 

I knew it was bound to happen but a Freida McFadden book I did not like. I even put myself on the wait list at the library before The Crash was released so I would not have to wait forever to read it. Writing reviews for books I did not enjoy is always such a challenge. 

Tegan was an okay character, I expected her to act like she did the entire time. Even though most of the story was told from her point of view I do not feel like she was the main character. No secrets for Tegan.

Polly was the character I wanted to know more about. It was frustrating to get small tidbits about Polly then have everything stop like hitting a brick wall and I never feel like her story was explained fully. Potential for a well written character the fell flat hard.

Hank was my favorite character but I am 100% biased since he reminded me of my deceased husband in every way. 

The other characters did not have much book time so they were just sort of there but I do not feel like I got to know any of them. 

The writing was fine I just did not like the overall story. I have never been pregnant but maybe it is normal for people to hear their unborn child's voice. Also I did not like how Tegan was hallucinating but it was never really dealt with. The overall big mystery was solved just smaller things I want to nitpick at. I expect more of Mrs. McFadden and her abilities.
