This book told a good story. It kept me guessing the entire time and in the end I still didn’t know what would happen. I always think that a good book is one that I can’t predict, and this was one of them. I didn’t rate it five stars because of the fact that some of the details were confusing, but that might be due to me being distracted while listening to the audiobook. Not sure. Overall, good story and interesting ending.

This was a super quick audiobook for me- kept me engaged and eager to hear what was happening next. Usually I get bored when chapters are based in flashbacks but for this book each of those moments were intriguing. For a while I thought this was going to be a 5 star but at the last quarter of the book or maybe closer to the end, it started to disappoint me because I felt there was too sudden of a drop in energy/ thriller tone. So it ended up between a 3.5 and 4.

This was a fast, easy, but intense read. This book reminds us, point-blank, that humans are complicated, multi-faceted, messy, and impossible to understand. Do we ever truly know anyone other than ourselves?

Hannah met her husband Owen two years ago and even though she feels like she knows everything about him, she is completely and utterly wrong. One morning, news breaks that Owen's company is being investigated by the FBI & that the CEO -Owen's direct boss- has been arrested. Owen goes missing and Hannah doesn't hear from him, except for a note that is delivered by a 12 year old girl who says he paid her to deliver the note to Hannah and it says "Protect her". Hannah knows this means to protect Bailey, who is his 16 year old daughter and Hannah's stepdaughter. Their lives change in an instant, leaving them both broken and hurt and confused plus, their neighbors are mad at them, the FBI and a U.S. marshall come around.. It quickly becomes overwhelming and distressing.

Hannah & Bailey decide sitting around isn't going to do anyway so they take initiative and follow the clues. Bailey uses memories of her life before Northern California and it leads them to Austin, TX

This book was made into a limited series on Apple TV, starring Jennifer Garner as Hannah, and I really enjoyed it!
