I am not sure why this book isn't talked about more?
I thought it was really good and had a twist I wasn't expecting, which I might have picked up on if I was reading verus listening.
I am not sure if this is literary or thriller but it had great social commentary and kept me engaged the entire time.
Autumn's sister— Summer— disappears one day but nobody seems worried but Autumn. She can't seem to get anyone to look for her or take her serious. And as the story unfolds and you learn more the harder it is to stop reading.

The prose was amazing. What a way to tell the story.
ETA: This book was so good. I am still thinking about it days later. I would say, don't read the book description, just go in blind.

Tackles important topics but the writing is clumsy and the "twist" is obvious so the build-up is too long.

3.5 stars, but rounding up for its delicate treatment of a heartbreaking and difficult subject.
Recommend to those who like domestic thrillers but are tired of them a bit and looking for something softer and serious.

expectations were so high, reality was so disappointing.

This is an incredibly difficult book to review in a spoiler-free way, but needless to say this isn’t a literary thriller as it is blurbed to be. There are a lot of complex issues that this narrative grapples with, but I found the plot so up and down I struggled to maintain momentum. The “twist” was incredibly clever, and I think it was unravelled and explored reasonably well. Overall, a good read but not one I think will stay with me.
