Don't You Cry | Mary Kubica
Mehso-so

I read this right after The Good Girl and I couldn‘t help comparing them. I felt Don‘t You Cry was a little slow and I kept getting a little bored in all the back stories/descriptions. I would definitely recommend The Good Girl over Don‘t You Cry.

abookishbutterfly Good to know. I just started The Good Girl and I am definitely liking it so far. I was thinking I‘d like to check out some of her other books but maybe I‘ll avoid this one. 6y

I liked how this book changed perspectives from who was telling the story. I was holding out hope until the end that somehow those who were missing would be found alive but...NOPE. I had read reviews of how “shocking” this book was but I was a little underwhelmed about the big twist.

All sorts of crazy! Loved the little twists. I think I found the sister the most disturbing.

Great tips for the mental side of running! Deena is a great story teller-you feel like you are running right beside her as she describes her races.

This book was full of twists and turns and kept me intrigued til the end. I know we are supposed to dislike Amber but I struggled with feeling like we were supposed to be happy she was now being abused, too. Anyone else feel that way? I just started The Wife Between Us and am interested in seeing how they compare!

LOVED IT! Another great one from Fredrik Backman. Beartown fans will not be disappointed with this sequel.

I‘m a sucker for a good love story! The story telling was unique, although a little repetitive.

This book grabbed and held my attention the whole way through but the ending was disappointing! I was hoping for a much more intricate reason for all the chaos!

Joneskat That was exactly how I felt! 6y

I read this in one day because the suspense was killing me! I did not love the ending- I felt like it was a little far-fetched. A good read for a quick thrill!

I couldn‘t put this book down because I needed to know how it ended but was completely frustrated with the main character the entire time. I also figured out one of the major twists within the first chapters.

Such an important book to read. Heartbreaking. I loved learning about the culture and how all the stories wove together at the end.
