Read Completed 3/5/23 | I ended up getting this book on my TBR, honestly, because it was on sale at Meijer for $5 and I figured why not! I had read another book by Andrea Bartz (WE WERE NEVER HERE) before this one and it was just okay for me, but the concept of THE LOST NIGHT sounded interesting and sometimes I have widely different feelings about different books by the same author. 

I actually picked this up on audio since that's nearly all of my reading recently. The audiobook narrator was just okay. I think I might have enjoyed this more if I had liked her narration more. There were a few other POVs that actually got their own narrators as well, and I liked those voices more than I liked Lindsay's. I also thought the name of the friend was EVie not EDie... boy, was I surprised. 3x speed problems, I guess... 

Anyway, about the book itself. THE LOST NIGHT was a slow start for me. I felt like the beginning was just Lindsay talking at people and I didn't know why so much of it was important. It seemed like it really took a long to find its pacing and there was a lot of wasted time with filler in the beginning. It didn't really set the vibe for me and the pacing of the actual plot could have been pushed forward a bit quicker to get readers more interested. 

The ending didn't bowl me over and it was a bit anticlimactic... Mild spoiler:

Lindsay finds out who killed Edie and that someone actually did kill her with a villain speech, and then she's drugged and forgets. So we find out as the reader and have to go through it all over again. Ugh.

I feel like not a lot happened. It was a lot of Lindsay chasing down answers and running in circles. Things seemed to move around and around instead of forward. It was okay but I wouldn't run to recommend it.
