Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell
4.0
Just read this front to back in one sitting. A chilling story about obsession, resentment and a mothers love for her children.
I really liked how this was written and cared about the characters. There were only a few times where I skimmed from boredom but I think that’s because it’s currently 3 AM so I was slightly drowsy while finishing this.
Jewell painted a clear picture of the characters and scenes. This story made me care about family dynamics, the lost girl and everyone’s suffering. It was creepy at parts because it switches perspectives sometimes and the obsessive, almost multi personality disorder really made me nauseous but it was written VERY well.
A great story for October, that’s for sure. It should make you tear up. It’s about a lost child so I mean it’s sad.
Subtle spoiler on whether or not this book has a happy ending:
I mean, not everyone lives, but yes it has a happy ending.
