A review by knidhunaigh
Choose Me by Tess Gerritsen, Gary Braver
2.0
Disclaimer: This review is not based on the book's subject matter. It had no impact on my decision to read/enjoy the book.
"Choose Me" made me realise just how picky a reader I am!
I struggled through this book quite slowly, longing to reach the end. I found it boring, slightly predictable and could not relate with any of the characters.
It was very repetitive. Each character had the same complaints throughout the book. Jack complaining about his marriage. Taryn complaining about men. The literature references. Frankie comparing every situation to her daughters. It was all just so flat. The characters felt one dimensional making them somewhat predictable. (Side note: Taryn is a terrible character. An absolute narcissist. So self centered and self entitled. She was way too annoying and over the top for me. Another reason I found it difficult to finish the book.)
Another aspect of the book that I personally didn't like was the cutting from past to present. I just found it lacked fluidity and made the book almost unbearable.
Although the book is 300+ pages I didn't feel like much happened. It was drawn out and monotonous.
