The Last to Vanish by Megan Miranda
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
–Spoilers ahead
Oh, this book, this book, I don’t know about this book…it was interesting, yes, but some of the ways they had the plot and things unfold and then explained or implied, it irked me. I haven’t known for sure how to review this one for a little while now because of how it rubbed me the wrong way with some of the story, especially the ending.
So, what drives me nuts is how they explain the MC, Abigail, accepting things and going on with her life as normal, which I can’t really say much because if I do it will spoil the story, but Ugh it drove me nuts. I did not like the ending. I don’t know how much I liked this book because of the way it was written.
Okay, I’m going to say something and it might be spoilery so here’s your warning: don’t read further if you don’t want spoilers.
I dislike that after we find out why Abigail is living in this town and that her Dad was killed as one of the Fraternity Four who went missing etc and she figures out who/how her Dad was killed she’s just okay with it – like she doesn’t seem to have that much anger toward the person who killed her Dad/was involved in his death and she doesn’t have them arrested. Instead, Abigail finds out who the current killer is and has them arrested and blamed and covers for her dad’s killer – I mean what the heck? I do not like when stories use Stockholm syndrome, like it’s all fine and dandy or whatever, and don’t point out the issue with it or anything. I don’t know, maybe I misread or misunderstood it, but that ruined the whole book for me and I did not like it at all.
Thanks to NetGalley and Scribner/Marysue Rucci Books for letting me read and review this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
