A review by minimicropup
I Know Who You Are by Alice Feeney

Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.
Why I picked it: I like Alice Feeney's recent work. It sounded full of unreliable or unhinged characters, mysterious ominous plots, and a dark slow-burn.

Liked: 
  • Cinematic, suspenseful writing style

DNF'ed beacuse:
  • Overly dramatic repetitive inner monologues that were so convoluted for no reason
  • Relies too much on ominous foreshadowing for every little thing
  • Trauma after trauma after trauma in this character's backstory but it kinda dulled the impact after awhile
  • Main character's whole personality became 'I need a biobaby'
  • Main character acting super sus then whining about how the police are asking her questions
  • Main character was giving Main Character...like "No one ever notices me...but soon they will", meanwhile her coworker is all "you're so beautiful you don't even know, everyone loves you"

📚 Format: Paperback
