Look I’m not going to lie this was such a slow start and I didn’t care and thought about DNFing because I was so bored, but it did get more interesting and I actually cried doubting the ending, but that might be because of my PMS.

Just amazing. The way my heart would just lurch, even when I knew where the book was going.

This was so good. So many twists and turns. The story is about a girl who disappears and the impact it has on her mother. 10 years later, she meets a man named Floyd and they start dating. Soon after, she meets his daughter Poppy who looks almost identical to her missing daughter and the story unravels the mystery of what actually happened to her. Gives me The Lovely Bones vibes.
