A review by northanapon
The Prettiest One by James Hankins
2.0
After reading the first few chapters, I was hooked. However, the plot revealed its secret half way thru the book (with unbelievable story). In addition, many points were repeatedly told in the same way with nothing to add or change in perspective. By ~80%, everything was clear and I lost my interest. But I had to know the ending which was personally disappointing.
---Spoilers---
- The fact that Caitlin was able to act like Katie whenever she wanted, is weird.
- The argument subject between Josh and Caitlin was a well-kept secret and a surprise in a bad way, especially when it was used as a convenient tool to get the Bogeyman physically involved.
- Bix was just an arsehole who wanted to go out with a wife. And his reason was "she didn't wanna talk, so I didn't give a damn". And right, he taught Katie "many things"... I'd rather read a book without him and had Caitlin discovered her lost memory piece-by-piece herself.
- Was Josh really in love with Caitlin to risk his life helping her find lost memory? Or was he trying to redeem himself without reminding her that he cheated? Well, it didn't matter. I mean what he did to help her didn't matter one bit.
- What in the world with those fake hands. I expected there was some big plot about them, but nope. Just a scam of a dead man.
- Finally Caitlin was confused about who she really was after living for twenty some years. But whatever let go the guy who owned a gun, lived in bad neighborhood, and could make a fake ID and sell a stolen car.
