Predictable with lots of unanswered questions

The fact that they had to explain who Eddie Haskell was really my aged me.

I felt icky reading some of Every Last Fear, I won’t lie. The part in Mexico did not sit well with me. I said out loud, “oh, let’s not do that. Let’s notttttt call them that”, but ya know, the only person who could hear me was my dog. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I did like the dual timelines and how the book flowed between characters. Each chapter was short and were quick reads. I also enjoyed the Netflix documentary aspect. I completely understood Matt’s perspective and would have done the same. I felt like a loose end or two was not wrapped up and I was more invested in that. Particularly, I wanted to know about Hank and Wendy/Sampson. The ending was predictable to a fault, so it was no surprise to me.

The supporting characters truly made the book. Bob and Aunt Cindy were the best supporting characters.

Overall, it was an okay read. It was a quick read as I finished the majority of it in a day I know I’m in the minority, but I just felt really underwhelmed. There were a lot of loose ends and the ending was very wild. I know I’m the minority, I know I know.

Thank you Minotaur and NetGalley for the gifted copy. Every Last Fear is out March 2nd.
