The Missing Hours
The Missing Hours: A Novel | Julia Dahl
3 posts | 4 read
From the critically acclaimed author of Invisible City and Conviction, The Missing Hours is a novel about obsession, privilege, and the explosive consequences of one violent act. From a distance, Claudia Castro has it all: a famous family, a trust fund, thousands of Instagram followers, and a spot in NYU’s freshman class. But look closer, and things are messier: her parents are separating, she’s just been humiliated by a sleazy documentary, and her sister is about to have a baby with a man she barely knows. Claudia starts the school year resolved to find a path toward something positive, maybe even meaningful – and then one drunken night everything changes. Reeling, her memory hazy, Claudia cuts herself off from her family, seeking solace in a new friendship. But when the rest of school comes back from spring break, Claudia is missing. Suddenly, the whole city is trying to piece together the hours of that terrible night.

This was a quick and difficult listen. While a horrible thing happens to the main character that was really hard to listen to, I can‘t say I particularly liked any of the characters, even her. She uses this guy in her dorm for her own reasons/revenges and then leaves him to fend for himself. Every other character was even worse, just overprivileged rich people doing whatever they wanted. I didn‘t particularly like the ending either. 🌟🌟

THE MISSING HOURS
This was a hard book to read. Not because it wasn't good but because it was that good. It's a tough subject matter and this author did a great job with it. A sexual assault on a young college woman by two young men. All three privilege, white and wealthy. But that didn't matter. What happened was horrible. What these young men did was unforgivable.

First, I‘d like to thank Goodreads for this ARC. This was an easy read, I got through it fairly quickly. This book dealt with a very sad and shocking topic. It seems I‘ve read similar books in the past. There wasn‘t much that made this book stand out from the other, similar books that I‘ve read. While I found parts of the story interesting, I found other parts to be a bit slow.
