When the Stars Go Dark by Paula McLain

Go to review page

Did not finish book. Stopped at 12%.
It hasn't really hooked me; the main character's problems aren't relatable; I also think I need to listen/read less dark things for a bit. My brain doesn't need to listen to 12ish hours of another missing/dead girl mystery just for the sake of another missing/dead girl mystery.
