A review by wljr
And Then You Were Gone by R.J. Jacobs

3.0

Emily wakes up on an overnight boat trip with her boyfriend Paolo to find that he’s missing. The Police believe he fell overboard but Emily doesn’t think so. The books follows Emily as she tries to put her life back together and figure out what happened to Paolo, all while struggling with bipolar disorder.

While I was intrigued by the synopsis, parts of it were cofusing and it was a bit all over the place. It moved very slowly in the beginning and then felt very rushed at the end. About half way through I thought I had it all figured out but was presently surprised when there were a few more twists I didn’t expect.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy to read and review, all opinions are my own.
