I Need You to Read This

This book didn’t do anything for me. The twist this book had was pretty predictable and lack luster. It’s not that long of a book but I felt like it was going in circles for a bit talking about the same things. The story was hard pressed to move forward. I didn’t get attached to any of the characters. The plot had potential to be a lot more twisty but it was a let down. Not the worst book in the world, but I would not recommend.

A Thrilling Read with a Few Flaws

I Need You to Read This by Jessa Maxwell is a fast-paced and engaging novel that follows an advice columnist on a quest to uncover the truth behind her predecessor's murder. The book has its strengths and weaknesses, but overall, it's an enjoyable read that will keep you guessing until the very end.

On the plus side, the book's plot is well-developed and suspenseful. The author does a good job of keeping the reader engaged, and there are plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing. I have never gotten a chance to read a book by Jessa Maxwell and I am happy that I had time today to try and get it done. I will say that I feel like this book has two interesting parallels: one being the columnist trying to solve the murder and the other being her story and why she moved. Both being wrapped up beautifully.

The characters are also well-drawn and relatable, and I found myself invested in their fates. However, the one thing I didn't like is the supporting cast. The only one I liked was her editor.

The book's pacing is a bit uneven in places. There are a few sections that drag on a bit, and the ending felt a bit rushed. Additionally, some readers may find the plot twist to be predictable.

Overall, I Need You to Read This is a solid 4-star read. It's a good choice for fans of suspenseful novels with well-developed characters. Just be aware that the pacing can be a bit uneven in places.
