I read this book for my book club and I was not entirely looking forward to it. I'm not in an era of my life where I'm looking for mystery as a genre and I'm not really into true crime, which is what this seemed to be adjacent to at first. This seems similar to the other thriller/mystery I've read for my book club, The Silent Patient, where the author thought up the twist first then wrote the book around it. Like the author thought, hey, wouldn't it be fucked up if
I think this story would've been great as a novella or maybe even a short story. I didn't need that much detail. I'm sorry.
I teared up at one point when
At the end of the day, I have to give this book props for the emotion it was able to inspire in me, even if it sometimes felt like too much. My primary purpose for reading is enjoyment, and I will admit that I sometimes would rather read something fluffy and light than something with more depth and sadness if it's going to ruin my day. I've got enough shit to worry about it my own life. But I'm sure people really into mystery and abduction stories would really love this book. And shoutout to Helen Duff who narrated the audiobook on Spotify, I loved your voices.
