2.5
I was absolutely read to lower this book's rating from 5* to 1 if some of my questions remained unaswered. Guess what? They did!
First things first, the whole reason I kept reading this book was the past pov. I found adult Aimee so annoying and stupid. She lies to the police without a logic reason when she is the main suspect for her husband's disappearance and possibly murder. Like wtf? Another reason I kept reading was that it kind of gave me "Gone girl vibes".
However, my low rating was caused mainly due to the HUGE plot holes that were all over the place. Alice Feeney has written some great books, and I would not recommend you to lose your time with this one. Don't get me wrong, I am more than willing to make a few not-so-logical- jumps when it comes to thrillers, but a lot of things simply didn't make any sense. I read that book in one sitting and my worst fear come to be true; there were tremendous plot holes in this book that just ruined my reading experience. I was really looking forward to some clarifications I only got some miserable crumbs.
Okay, so this is the end of my review. The rest of my comments are just spoilers, so please stop reading if you are not interested in them.
SPOILER ALERT!
Okay, now, let me present some of my questions, and boy, are they many.
1. How did John and Maggie's daughter die? (Eammon had the chance right there to clear so many things up, but he didn't. -0.5 star)
2.Why did they kidnap Cira? How did they smuggle her out of the country without anyone noticing?I mean, even if her biological father never looked for her, the state should be interested in a little girl literary stop existing. (-0.5 star)
3. Did no one find her brother's body?
4. How could her brother look like Maggie and Jack at the same time? (-1 star)
5. What happened to Alicia White?
6.Why didn't Cira never tell anyone her real story? I mean she was abducted and then brutally abused by Maggie and John. Why does she still pretend to be Aimee? (-0.5 star)
7.Why did Maggie and John have so much trouble with their betting shop? Through Cira's pov we get that it is something related to them being Irish, but I couldn't really understand what.
These are only some of my questions that were left unanswered by this book
