This wasn’t my favorite book, but it wasn’t my least favorite either. Kind of meh. This book switches from past to present frequently. Listening on audio, it was difficult to keep up with as the timespans are only a year or so apart. Reader tip: if you can only focus on one portion of the date, focus moreso on the year than the month. In the very beginning, I was paying more attention to the month than the year and it made things confusing for me.

I genuinely enjoyed reading this book and was a little sad when it finished because the characters just felt so real and it just feels like there’s more of them but there’s not lol. 

I definitely saw that twist coming from a mile away but it played out a bit differently than I had imagined. Regardless, it was still a lovely book. 

Zach sucks, that’s all I’ll say.

I thought this was a solid story, and I definitely didn't predict a lot of the stuff going on. I do love a mother fighting like heck for justice for her daughter. Seemed like kind of a
toxic lesbian relationship though. Like was everything consensual? Just a little sketchy.

  • One year after the disappearance of teenage parents Tallulah and Zach, mystery author moves into a cottage in the same neighborhood. She discovers clues to the disappearance only to realize they mirror what she wrote in her debut novel. Kim, Tallulah's mother has lost all hope and is now raising her grandson, Noah. She has never truly prepared herself for the answers - is her daughter dead or could she still be alive?
  • This book was very engaging and the suspense continues to grow as you discover more details. I expect nothing less from Jewell and this was absolutely perfect. The characters were lovable in some twisted sort of way. The chapters are short and the multiple POV makes it more suspenseful. What is even better is the chemistry between the characters emanate from the book, making each POV equally interesting and engaging.
