Ugh. So contrived and just so impossible to believe. I couldn't buy into what any of the characters was doing, not at all. Mostly, I just stared incredulously at my Kindle screen, wondering who in their right mind would do what these characters were doing. And the plot was straight up soap opera. Yikes.

I borrowed this from a friend while waiting for my preorder of The Night She Disappeared to arrive. This is my eighth Lisa Jewell book and I loved it from start to finish (I devoured it in two days)

Firstly, I love the main character’s name being Alice Lake, as there is a lake by the same name five minutes from my house. The story begins with Alice, who lives in a little beach cottage, looking out her window towards the sea and noticing a lone man sitting on the sand, he’s been there all day. The man has no memory of who he is, where he came from.

The story builds going between the present day and twenty years ago. I love the tension, the mystery & suspense of Lisa’s writing style. This was truly a page-turner for me. Can’t wait to read her latest when it arrives!

An absolutely perfect summer read. A patio banger. I enjoyed every minute of my time with this story and I'm sad that it's over. My fave Lisa Jewell book (so far) is The Night She Disappeared, and this gave me those same vibes. (It's not a similar book, I just enjoyed it as much.) A slow burn mystery but you're so invested with the people and the story every step of the way. How I love something that's beachy and summery but with darkness lurking at the edges. TINGLES. You might guess the reveals in this, but it's all about the journey. This will be one of my top reads of the year.

Great read! I loved this story. The characters were well developed, everything was well described and set up. It was easy to follow! This book kept me reading, I really wanted to find out what happened. The twist at the end was great!

**I do not give audiobooks star ratings as I cannot analyze the prose**

Audiobook Rating: just ok | Performance: 3/5 | Plot: 2.5/5 | Ending: Classic Lisa Jewell

Why do I keep reading Lisa Jewell when I've never rated a book of hers higher than 3 stars? Great question. It's because my dumbass thrifted a ton of her books before reading any of them, and I'm determined to clean out my physical tbr, so I just gotta slog through it
