I know who you are.
When Riley first gets the postcard tucked into her bag, she thinks it's a joke. Then she finds a birth certificate for a girl named Jane Elizabeth O'Leary hidden inside her baby book.
Riley's parents have always been pretty overprotective. What if it wasn't for her safety...but fear of her finding out their secret? What have they been hiding? The more Riley digs for answers, the more questions she has.
The only way to know the truth? Find out what happened to Jane O'Leary.
Riley as a character... is slightly contradicting. Sometimes I just wanted to shake some sense into her - she was just really clueless! She's very trusting... and naive. I just couldn't get past that character flaw. I couldn't connect with her.
I liked JD, but I got pretty unsure about him towards the end - I just didn't know who to trust anymore, and I just don't like not being able to trust anyone. I always feel like I'm missing something in a situation like that. Which I guess is the point.
See Jane Run did have some very scary and thriller-ish moments in it, which did up my enjoyment level. Sometimes it's fun to be scared, but I feel like it was just missing something. The twists were easily figured out, and the characters left something to be desired. All in all, I didn't particularly care for it - it was just enjoyable enough.

Thrillers aren't my favorite genre either. But I LOVE the playlist! <3
ReplyDeleteThe synopsis sounds pretty cool but I feel like there are many books of its kind around in YA. I'm the same as you in the sense that I don't read much YA thriller because I tend to not be satisfied with them. Too bad this one didn't do it for you.
ReplyDeleteHaha, the playlist is pretty dang awesome, I agree! :D
ReplyDeleteThere are, probably. As it's not one of my preferred genres, I'm not sure, LOL. I'm not even sure why I'm not satisfied with them, but I'm glad that someone else feels the same way! Thanks for commenting! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you. I loved The Naturals, which is a bit like a thriller, but nothing else I've read has been good for me and I agree with you on this book. It's disappointing. Great playlist though! I love music when reading :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that! I actually haven't tried The Naturals, but I remember your review. :) I LOVE love love music too! Not necessarily while reading, though. :P Thanks for commenting, Sunny!
