This book was quite lengthy. It delves into the mystery of a missing mother and explores her family's struggle with the uncertainty surrounding her disappearance. The narrative is an emotional roller coaster, revealing the family’s deep feelings and unhealthy coping strategies. Although it was written at the onset of the COVID pandemic, the book only briefly touches on the topic. I'm now looking forward to watching the show adaptation to see how it measures up.

I really liked it. I listened to the audio book and finished it very quickly because I just wanted to know what happened!

Last 8% of the book isn’t really what you want the last 8% of a book to be. First half was good! A little longer than it needed to be though.
