Snooze fest. One of the slowest and uneventful books I’ve ever read. Detail overload. Nothing exciting about it. Not sure where this came from because I usually enjoy this author.

"Thriller" is an exaggeration. So incredibly slow. Decent story and ending but it took forever to get there. The author wastes a TON of time on unnecessary descriptions and repeating the same information over and over. I started skipping over paragraphs at a time just to get to the ending. In addition to this, Quinn's character has to be one of the dumbest I've ever read about. It was truly difficult reading from her perspective - it came off as bad writing rather than a character trait. Glad I only wasted $2 on this one.

Eh. I have loved all of Kubica's books except this one. Halfway through I wanted to stop. It finished interestingly enough but was like pulling teeth to make it there.

WARNING: READER, TRY TO CRY, but. I ONLY GOT non-blinking pupils... Astonishing Read!! I Never Had A Chance To Catch A Glimpse Into Any Of Kubica's Work, But Having The Chance On Reading This One Was A Real Blessing. The Whole Story And They Way She Writes, Puts You In Comfortable, Family-Friendly Type Of Successions, Until She Starts Pulling Strings, Revolving The Whole Plot And Creating A Unique Sensation Of Turning The Page And Wanting To Know What Is Next Going To Twist Your Whole Self Around. I Tend To Make Prophecies On The Endings, But Whooohooohoaaaawww, You Will Never Guess The Events That Try To Settle And Keep On Turning...

Slow. This book was hard to finish for me. Multiple times I had to skip sections due to the exhausting amount of unimportant details. I didn’t get interested until the very last part of the book. I am so glad to be done reading it so I can move along.

An amazing concept...poorly executed. In Don’t You Cry, we have several characters stuck in a life of stagnancy. Alex and Quinn are two characters that are stuck in this dull and mundane life. This was a character driven story including Quinn, Esther, Ben, Alex, Dr. Giles, Ingrid, and many others. With alternating points of view by both Alex and Quinn. They each narrated a separate perception about Esther. Alex retrieved information from Esther while Quinn investigated Esther using clues left behind. Two story’s were being told simultaneously: both about Esther with different perspectives. Alex was eighteen living with his father while working at a nearby restaurant. He was a very observant character who shared these excessive details. Quinn was Esther’s roommate. They knew very little about each other except trivial living habits. Quinn’s character concocted different scenarios with the information she retrieved about Esther. Alex’s character found interest in Esther’s musings. She spurred interest in his otherwise mundane life. He became obsessed with her wearabouts wanting to spend time with her. My interpretation of this slow paced character driven story was information overload. I’m not sure who to focus on or what to focus on. Because of this it was tiresome. I didn’t find this story very mysterious. I found the events strange and random. There were too many questionable unexpected and unbelievable circumstances occurring. Everything makes perfect sense in the final section of the chapter, but it was anticlimactic. Everything leading up this moment was executed with many distractions drawing away from the clues. It was as if Mary didn’t want the reader to figure out mystery. You could pick up pieces but there was no way to make sense of it on your own. That was disappointing to have to wait until the end. The mystery of Esther’s disappearance gathers slowly before falling into place at the end. Along the way pieces are dispersed throughout the story. Alex and Quinn narrate Esther’s life through their own perception. Alex watches Esther while Quinn collects information from inside the apartment.

Slow to start.... But picked up the pace and hooked me just before I was ready to give up on this book. I've read her other two novels and enjoyed them immensely but had a hard time getting into this book at first. Enjoyable read.

Great premise, not so great execution. I give this book 2.5 stars. The premise and cover drew me to this book, but unfortunately it didn't meet my expectations. The way it was written, with the characters repeating the same thing over and over, often within paragraphs of saying it the first time, made for a very, very, laborious read. It took me longer than usual to finish this story because of that. Also, the two characters: Alex & Quinn, had the EXACT same voice. There was no difference in their individual chapters. Alex is a boy and younger than Quinn, so I was expecting at least SOME difference in their POV's. The plot itself did not grip me as I'd hoped it would. I figured out how the ending would play out in a matter of chapters. Was hoping for more, but didn't get it. Still, the premise was intriguing enough that I'm willing to try another Mary Kubica book in the future!

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Good I wish they would make these shows or movies!!

A Book About Nothing. I almost didn’t finish this book. I really shouldn’t have but I have a strict ‘finish every book you start’ kind of rule for myself… this book is about absolutely nothing. And you have to read about the absolutely nothingness that’s going on, from the point of view of two of the worst characters imaginable. One of which has absolutely no purpose in even being involved in this story! I hate to leave such a poor review, I know that so much work goes into creating these stories, but this is honestly the worst book I’ve read in a really long time.
