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.

i feel conflicted about this book. so to wrap it up , if your the type to make theories when reading, this is for you. but if your disappointed when all of your theories are met with nothing more, then it’s not. mediocre book, had potential to be way darker and twisted.
