![]() ![]() ![]() Yeah, Dallas wasn’t a great boyfriend before The Night, and I’m all for Genevieve moving on and living her life. However, the reality is that the reader gets the entire story of what happened on The Night from Genevieve in a handful of chapters while the bulk of the story is rather unnecessary romance that makes her grief and guilt feel disingenuous. You see, by ‘a story that constantly has me at the edge of my seat’, I mean that I had expected a book that gradually reveals what happened on The Night Genevieve’s life changed-a book that neatly switches from present to past to present again like what the first three chapters do because it’s supposed to be about how it happened. Instead, the actual story is mostly slow-paced, and it’s narrated by a girl who’s grief and guilt doesn’t sound sincere. I don’t know if I’m the only one who got this impression from the blurb, but I had expected an emotional story that constantly has me at the edge of my seat because holy crap dead YouTuber star/boyfriend, girlfriend who may or may not be the cause of his death, and another driver who the public assumes is guilty sounds like the perfect cocktail for an anxiety-inducing and a fast-paced book. This Is How It Happened is just isn’t what I had thought it would be. ![]()
