Don't Look for Me by Wendy Walker
5.0
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I am usually pretty anti-mainstream thrillers/mysteries because they just never live up to the hype for me. I need a thriller to be smart, full of twists that are shocking and believable, and to keep guessing. Most "bestsellers" are bland, basic, formulaic, and predictable. Yes, I'm jaded. That's why I don't request them, because I don't want to just keep writing bad reviews. However, I thought I'd give this one a try since I loved Emma in the Night (2017) and it was available as a "Read Now" option on Netgalley. Holding my breath, I jumped in and right away I was hooked! Wendy Walker totally delivered a book I did not want to put down in Don't Look for Me. I suspected everyone to be involved in Molly's disappearance at one point or another due to Walker's amazing ability to craft multiple complex, "unlikeable" characters. I don't think it's possible to provide examples without giving away any of the twists, so I'll simply say "⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
