First of all, thank you to the publisher and the author for the advanced copy.

This wasn't a bad book. The plot was okay but there was a fundamental flaw.

Spoiler

I knew from the beginning that her husband couldn't be the perp because he was so obviously set up to be suspicious. Filthy rich, much older, a bit possessive, and not showing a lot of emotion when she disappeared. With obvious red flags like that broadcast from the beginning, it couldn't be him.

Overall I didn't dislike it, but it's not one of the more memorable suspense books. I'm also really tired of books being compared to Gone Girl. For pete's sake, one of the characters in the book makes an internal reference to Gone Girl.

Wow, this one kept me guessing for a long time. I loved the characters and how the story jumped back and forth. I will be sure to look for more books from this author. If you haven't read it by this coming summer, place it on your summer reading list!

Interesting plot, interesting and unique characters. The description of "twisting novel of psychological suspense" seemed a little over the top to me. I guess I wouldn't even call it a thriller. I did like it though - I enjoy stories about real, flawed, people. The climax and final confrontation could have been more powerful/big/bold/etc., but overall I really liked it and I'd read more from this author.

• Diverse cast of characters? No

I seem to like all of Kent’s books! This one is told in the POVs of 2 sisters. One is very wealthy and questioning her marriage. She also has a stalker and soon disappears. The other sister is a little rough around the edges, but adores her sister. She is hell bent on finding her. I like switching POV as it definitely adds interest to this story. It reads very quickly with a satisfying end!

2.5 stars I guess lol. This was a free book for me with Amazon Prime this month and I’m very happy I didn’t actually buy it. I really enjoyed Minka’s book, The Perfect Roommate, but this one just irritated me so much. I didn’t like any of the characters. I maybe could’ve liked Meredith but I don’t think I had a chance to get to know her all that well. Greer, the main character, in my opinion, was so annoying. And the book was chock full of cliches and repetition. For example, if I would’ve had to read one more time that someone “dragged their hands down their mouth” or said something “on a quick exhale” I probably would’ve cried. This book was almost a DNF for me but I skimmed the last 75-100 pages just to read about how she pulled it together in the end. (Which by the way, I had all figured out by the middle of the book).

I truly hope other people have a better experience reading this than I did!! But please don’t let my discouragement keep you from reading it! I can’t wait to see other people’s reviews! I might be completely alone in this opinion!

I called the ending. There was one moment where she had me doubting myself but it was still a good audio book to get me through a few hours of work
