TBR & Tangents by Rachel

I’m going to be honest; this was a pretty difficult read for me to get through. The plot was straightforward enough, and the pace was slowish to medium. Navigating the storyline’s delivery proved to be quite the challenge, to put it mildly.

There were a handful of phrases that were repeated what felt like every chapter, and the characters lacked any real depth or development. It was difficult to have to adjust between multiple different storylines and wait for the loose ends to be tied up. The premise of the book made it clear who and what were the protagonists. However, their dismissal of Jon and the actions the company took to cover up the explosion felt nothing close to realistic. I was hopeful to have a thriller-based storyline with a more in-depth view of corruption and processes inside chemical plants. I was given instead a watered-down plant tour with a less than believable villain arc of corporate America.
