I enjoyed the plot of the book and really enjoyed how it kept me interested in the entire book, right from the start. Maybe it was just ne, but I wanted a different ending. It was a letdown for me that everything ended "happily ever after," and I wanted a little more tension or a bigger twist at the end.

I enjoyed this thriller. The main character i equally relatable and annoying. The plot is well paced and the twists not always easy to spot coming.

It was fun to read. Fast-paced, but the conclusion was disappointing (way too far-fetched)
Not great, but I'll give Coben another try. Could have been tighter, more complex.
Six years have passed since Jake Sanders watched Natalie, the love of his life, marry another man. Six years of hiding a broken heart by throwing himself into his career as a college professor. Six years of keeping his promise to leave Natalie alone, and six years of tortured dreams of her life with her new husband, Todd.
But six years haven’t come close to extinguishing his feelings, and when Jake comes across Todd’s obituary, he can’t keep himself away from the funeral. There he gets the glimpse of Todd’s wife he’s hoping for . . . but she is not Natalie. Whoever the mourning widow is, she’s been married to Todd for more than a decade, and with that fact everything Jake thought he knew about the best time of his life—a time he has never gotten over—is turned completely inside out.
This is the first Harlen Coben book I've read but my son is a fan so I thought I'd give it a try. I enjoyed the twists and turns and it's a good thriller. An OK read but not memorable.

Beinhaltet leider meiner Meinung nach einen Logikfehler, der die ganze Handlung unmöglich macht. Ansonsten ein gutes Buch, aber nicht mein nächstes Lieblingsbuch. Ich hatte auch das Gefühl, dass der Stil in der Originalsprache besser gewesen wäre.
This might be his best book, and I love all his books.

I enjoyed the book, though I quickly figured out what had happened, it was still entertaining to read and see all the puzzle pieces fall into place. The main character's curiosity is a bit much at times though, because he doesn't stop even knowing it can kill the person he claims to love more than anything.

Great page-turner filled with twists and revelations at every turn. Harlan Coben will once again satisfy his many fans, and keep you reading well into the night.
