Good as Gone by Amy Gentry
4.0
I went back and forth on how I felt about this book for a minute. It was really, really good, and surprisingly literary for a thriller, but there were some confusing moments.
The arc of Anna is one of a devastated mother, who is only trying to figure out the truth of the woman who had come to her house claiming to be her daughter who has been missing for eight years. I loved that it was told from Anna’s POV for a good portion of the book, interwoven with other important story elements. I think that’s what really made it for me.
It had a great element of surprise and fascinating twists and I really enjoyed the book as a whole, that it didn’t drop everything on you right at the end, like a lot of suspense novels tend to do. Definitely a good, quick summer read to slip into!
