Jane Anonymous

edit:
re-read this because.. I don't know why I did. rating hasn't changed, still a solid 3 star book

original review:
it sucks that I guessed the plot twist when I was only 37% through the book but I was happy with myself for guessing it so this is a positive now lol.

The romance was not needed, it was really out of place and stuck out like a sore thumb, it took me out of the story.

Also too many loose ends!

Other than that, I enjoyed myself while reading this :)

hm. this was a really strange reading experience. all of the characters felt half-baked and the entire story felt so unrealistic, even though it's really not. I felt so disconnected from the whole thing. the “twist” was very obvious to me, but may be more surprising to someone who doesn't read as many mystery/thrillers or watch far too many episodes of Criminal Minds. the choice to keep things anonymous and referring to things like “No Name High School” and “New England State” felt awkward and always took me out of the story. I don't really understand what the point of this story was meant to be and don't feel like I got anything from it.
