This was so good. So many twists and turns. The story is about a girl who disappears and the impact it has on her mother. 10 years later, she meets a man named Floyd and they start dating. Soon after, she meets his daughter Poppy who looks almost identical to her missing daughter and the story unravels the mystery of what actually happened to her. Gives me The Lovely Bones vibes.

This book was so so good! I don't even know where to begin!! Lisa Jewell did such an amazing job building the story and characters. I don't want to imagine what it would be like to lose a loved one and being left behind with no closure. Lauren's grief is heartbreaking. I found Poppy super annoying in the beginning but as you progress in the story you understand why she is the way she is. I guessed what actually happened to Ellie after I was about 1/3 into the story and it felt so rewarding to keep an eye out for some sweet little hints here and there. I'm also very happy with the ending and in my opinion it's the perfect ending for the story. All in all it was a beautiful and yet sad story I couldn't put down.
