Wow.

This book was something else. From all the twists to the ending? I seen some of them for sure but a lot of them caught me by surprise.

Definitely a favourite read of this year and would recommend it.

10 years ago Lydia Coletto goes missing and is presumed dead when the case goes cold. One evening she shows up to her husband, Luca, and his new wife, Merritt, house after getting free. Merritt & Luca have a 1 kid and another one due in a month.

They all try to figure out what each other wants and what the next steps are. Everybody has tons of questions, but the answers are a huge twist.

Not the best book I’ve ever read. Another book by Minka Kent was actually my first DNF sometime last year, but I decided to give her another shot. It sounded kind of similar to another book that I read awhile back and liked. I liked that other book so I decided to give this one a shot

I almost DNF several times throughout the book. Finally about 50% in I read some reviews because I was really considering just stopping at that point. I saw a small spoiler that seemed interesting so I wanted to see what that was about. It was at about 60% through the book that some things started clicking in place.

Before I read the spoilers I wasn’t feeling it because the characters had completely different priorities than what would’ve made sense. Both of the FMC felt poorly written and seemed to have only a 1 track mind.

There were 2 big twists (after 60% of the book) and they were poorly written. The POV switches back and forth between the 2 FMC. It felt like the author was lying with their POVs since you’d think there’d be at least some inter monologue hints as to what they know. Even inside their own mind/POV they acted like they didn’t know anything.

It would actually be a good book without the first half of it.

hmm i just finished this a day ago and im sitting on how to rate this because there are a couple of good twists, but honestly, I saw them coming for the most part. i think i'm in a thriller saturation zone where it takes a lot to surprise me. it could also be that i didn't have any character to root for, they are all awful. ultimately i didn’t love the direction the author chose to go. it was a little too similar to many other books in this genre and thus was a bit predictable for me but i was actually surprised when i found out

meredith knew the whole time

however, it was still great, keeps you on your feet, type of thriller. i was so intrigued the whole time, regardless of if i was predicting things or not. and i really enjoyed the audiobook!
