Okay - Not a waste of time. I liked the plotline even though parts didn't make sense. What I didn't like was most of the characters Primary and Secondary (that added nothing to the story).

Oof. This was full of religious trauma, which I was not expecting at all based on the blurb. I’m glad I don’t have too much baggage when it comes to religion because this book could have stirred up so many more feelings than it did.
The ending seemed weird considering the first 75-85% of the book. The main character’s disappearance nor any of the flashbacks had anything to do with the ending whatsoever. I would almost think the ending belonged to a different book if not for the character names being the same.
I received an advance copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

This thriller is told from dual perspectives and dual timelines. Celia and Genevieve are estranged sisters who are slowly trying to reconnect. The past timeline shows an abusive childhood with strict rules and regulations. In the present, Celia has gone missing after celebrating her 40th birthday surrounded by loving friends and her doting husband.
As Genevieve searches for Celia long-buried secrets slowly emerge.
This is a fast-moving, propulsive book, but I found the resolution of the novel and the various reveals to be pretty anticlimactic. It won't be winning any awards, but is worth a try if you're looking for a quick read that grabs your attention.
