Amber Herbert reviewed Make Me Disappear by Jessica Payne
For Fans of Caroline Kepnes's "You"
4 stars
Make Me Disappear is an intriguing take on obsessive and controlling relationships. Noelle, a nurse in her twenties, realizes she needs to break away from her doctor boyfriend and plans her own kidnapping. I appreciated the dual narrative, and the prose was written well; it kept me engaged the whole way through.
My only criticism is that there were far too many coincidentals and/or unbelievable plot points. I also saw the twist coming a mile away, though that isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Overall, this was a solid debut, and I look forward to reading more by Jessica Payne. I'd recommend this novel if you enjoyed the You series.
