My guess as to where this was going was so far in the opposite direction that it's actually incredibly laughable 😅

My jaw is on the floor. I could not have guessed the ending to this regardless of how hard I tried. This was a gripping story from start to finish, and I did not want to put it down! Such a good quick read if you’re looking for something exciting!

DID NOT FINISH: 39%

this had the potential to be really good but it just fell so flat. constantly going back to that day talking about the process of trying to find Elle is not interesting at all. there is no POV of the thought process of the person who did it aside from a few chapters here and there which were very short. it was just….. boring. no POV’s from Elle either to see what would be happening from her side. every chapter just seemed to be talking about how Jo has had it hard and her sisters husband Theo complaining about her. it was easy to guess who was involved and the ending and what actually happened was just….. boring. huge let down, i got to around 100 pages of reading the same stuff over and over.

Sort of predictable, even though I'd already seen a small spoiler before the 'twist'. It felt like there was only a couple of ways it could go, and it went the way you'd expect.

Felt the need to keep reading as I wanted answers, however I'm not thrilled by the outcome. Easy enough read that felt a bit slow towards the end.

Would not recommend to others but first book by this author so maybe I'll try another before hardh judgement.
