Then She Was Gone

This was a weird a** book my dudes. I've read a lot like it, but the ending just kinds of blurs with others if I am being honest. Psychopaths stealing kids and then using them to achieve the life they want? Ugh. This is a true testament to treating your kids with love and respect at every stage of their life, do not degrade them, or make them feel inadequate, because those who don't grow up to be obviously insecure will internalize it and end up as psychopaths. Cool and calm on the outside, maybe a little quirky, but an absolute shite show on the inside.

That aside, there was a good portion of this book that is completely far fetched. How do you make a girl pregnant in a basement with a donors sperm? You would have to take the sperm from the bank, keep it at a precise temp, drug the girl, twist her limp body into a crazy shape and then implant it into her??? What the fork???? I just didn't think this was really all that convincing. There was a lot that was weird about this book. The people in it weren't really convincing and it made for a boring read because I wasn't super invested in the characters (because of the author's development, etc.) All in all, this did not stack up to her other ‘The Family Upstairs' at all. This was just okay.
