This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2023. And it was great! It invoked a lot of emotion from me which I love. Jake goes missing and is gone for several days and Nina never looked for him? I don’t care what has happened between me and my husband if he disappears I’m looking everywhere for him. Even if it’s just to yell at him more. The POV’s are are different choice. It’s told from Christian’s and Nina’s point of view. I feel like most authors would have chosen Jake and Lily but it definitely added to the story by telling it from their perspective. The author also introduces several other low key people which adds to the confusion of what happened and who done it. I got very frustrated with Lilly…..I was screaming at her to just tell him about Jake already! It seemed like it took for ever for her to tell him what happened in the woods. I love books like this….I don’t want things to go my way. I want to experience every emotion and I’ll be honest at one point I felt like I killed Jake.
