Kristin Hannah- "Night Road'

River Song hates to ruin books.

    Three words, depressing as hell. Night Road paints the story of a family, friendship, and young love torn apart by one bad mistake made in one singe night. It is all I am going to say because explaining it more would ruin it. "Spoilers!"(total nerd reference)

    What I will say is that it starts slow and ends fast, too fast. Yet again Kirsten Hannah doesn't end the book. Just when all the character's lives are starting to turn positive and that's it, you turn the next page expecting an epilogue and instead you get a great big middle finger disguised as the acknowledgments. The problem is that you get so wrapped up with the characters. You feel so bad for them and want that closure and are left just wondering what happened.

   It would have been better if it was consistently paced. It felt like a hamburger hastily put together. It was too complex of a story to be rushed through. In the end after I set the book down all I could think of was this is one book where I  am thankful I can't relate to what everyone was going through.

  Kirstin proves that she can tell a story about realistic characters and you can easily get wrapped up in the family's troubles. the only issue is that it is too rushed and the ending suffers because of it. If you want a heart wrenching read that leaves you depressed for weeks, this is the book for you!
