The way I described this book to my mom (who also read it) was, simple, fairly predictable, and the kind of book that makes me think I could write a book. I mean, the settings were minimal as were the number of characters. It was told from multiple third person points of view and the characters kind of figure it out as the reader maybe probably already had. We also get some backstory on the couple at the middle of this tale. None of the characters were likable at all, except the detective. And I'm not sure about the ending.
This book was a heck of a ride. I really enjoyed how fast paced it was. It jumped right into the action of a child going missing and kept going until the end. It was told through multiple POVs, which was a great way to see how each character was handling the kidnapping. It also kept you guessing at which characters were reliable.
None of the characters were really likeable, but that didn't bother me. I did connect a bit with Anne, especially with her struggles with motherhood. Being a new mom is hard!
It had many twists throughout which made you want to get to the end to see what happens.
If you like unreliable narrators, quick reads, and domestic thrillers, this is the book for you.

Not my favorite, but in all honesty (and not sarcastic at all), the last chapter was the best!
WTF just happened! Book was amazing but where the hell did that ending come from! GAH!

In so many ways this could have been so much better. I felt like they used every common plot twist that was available to them. Nothing felt original, the writing was not inspiring. Just an average book
