This wasn’t my favorite book, but it wasn’t my least favorite either. Kind of meh. This book switches from past to present frequently. Listening on audio, it was difficult to keep up with as the timespans are only a year or so apart. Reader tip: if you can only focus on one portion of the date, focus moreso on the year than the month. In the very beginning, I was paying more attention to the month than the year and it made things confusing for me.

This kept me guessing until the very end! This novel had well thought-out and detailed characters, accompanied by a slow-brewing mystery. A solid piece of work by Lisa Jewell, and the narrator brought the story full circle. The pace was slow, but well-timed and includes lots of details that all mean something at some point in the story. Would definitely recommend this audio read if you’re on a road trip! It received an Audie Nomination for a reason, and you won’t be disappointed!
