When the Lights Go Out by Mary Kubica
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received this ARC from NetGalley and Harlequin in exchange for an honest review.

Jessie Sloane hasn't slept in days as she sits by her mother's bedside during her final hours of life. The tale spins from there, taking the reader through her mother's death and the days following, as Jessie tries to answer the question 'Who is Jessica Sloane?'. The reader is also taken back to Jessie's mom's life of trying to conceive a child.

Honestly, I didn't love this book. The writing was phenomenal, as is typical of a Mary Kubica book, however, I felt like the middle was slow and unending and then when it finally picked up in the last 10%, the end left you with a gaping hole. I closed the book thinking, really? That's the ending that she chose?

I got sick of reading 'Who is Jessica Sloane?' and 'Who am I?'

I would say, if you are a Mary Kubica fan, it's worth the read, but it isn't her best work.
