An okay thriller. Was more slow-paced at the beginning than I would have preferred. 

3.5⭐

From what I've seen, people either loved or really disliked this book. I fall into the first camp. Sisters Cass and Emma went missing three years ago. Suddenly, Cass is back and has quite a tale to tell about where she's been, which she shares with the FBI and the psychologist on the case in the hopes of finding her sister. As you figure out early on that this novel is going to fall into the unreliable narrator genre, you quickly begin to wonder - what isn't Cass telling us? What are we missing? To be honest, once I got to the end, I was mad at myself for not seeing what was coming...but I loved the book and it definitely kept me reading. I especially enjoyed all of the psychology thrown into the mix :)

I loved this story, I couldn't put it down. two sisters disappear but only one comes back with an unbelievable story to tell. what's the truth and what's the lie? A great story of toxic parenting and the repercussions.

I am shocked, but I think this is the best thriller I've read so far. I never knew what was the truth and what was a lie. I enjoyed Cass and Abby so much as protagonists and the ending was fantastic. This whole story was totally ridiculous, but I loved every minute of it.

Interesting story, twisted vibes

Average thriller about Cass, who has been missing with her sister, Emma. Cass returns on her own and tries to help the authorities in finding the island she and her sister have been held captive on.

Interesting plot about a narcissistic parent and the effects of their actions on their children. Well read by Julia Whelan.
