Intrigued by the mystery but thought pretty basic police procedure could've avoided the whole thing.

Ellie's tutor living on the street she disappeared from should've made her immediately suspect in her kidnapping.

4.25 ⭐️ 

Gripping, just absolutely gripping! I could not put this book down. This was such a heartbreaking story and left me feeling very emotional. It is so much more than just a story about a missing teenage girl. I also really loved that we got to see multiple perspectives and timelines - it was so emotional reading from the perspective of Ellie and experiencing what she went through - so tragic 😢 but the way Lisa Jewell wrote this was fantastic and I cannot wait to read more from her!
