I couldn’t put it down. I started to figure out what was going on early in the book, but I still wanted to know more details and what actually happened.
Ellie Mack is fifteen years old and goes missing on her way to the library. Ten years later, Laurel her mother, meets a charming man who has a nine year old daughter who bear a slight resemblance to Ellie. As their relationship blossoms, Laurel has many questions and begins to doubt who her new boyfriend really is.
The is a very suspenseful and well written story. Even though you can figure out the twists and turns early on, you are compelled to continue reading to find out just how things were done.
I liked the genuine portrayal of a mother’s struggles. I appreciated learning of the story from multiple perspectives. I didn’t like that it ended with all loose ends tied up in a bow.
It’s fine. It’s easy to predict but dark so the shock factor has you thinking maybe she won’t go there but she does. Starts with switching back from “then” & “now” & quickly drops that format & is confusing as to who is narrating. Odd details but not about what you’d want detail about (like the girl who went missing). It’s a story. Wouldn’t recommend.
Interesting enough to want to read more to see where this story leads but surprising ending
