After She'd Gone by Alex Dahl
4.0

This is a novel set in various parts of Europe, told from four perspectives. You have Adrian, a young neurodivergent boy, and his mother Liv that go missing early on in the novel. We also get the perspective of Selma, a reporter trying to track them down and Anastasia a model that is trying to find her way in the competitive world of Italian modeling. I enjoyed the differing perspectives and eagerly anticipated their intertwining. It did take me 15-20% of the book to get into it but after that I couldn’t put it down.
.
This book looks at the dirty side of the fashion world and what happens to the girls that don’t make it. There is more than one mystery keeping this plot line moving forward and keeping you guessing.
.
While some pieces I caught onto early, it felt like we were supposed to. Other parts had me guessing until the end.
.
This is a great thriller {with TWs for sexual abuse and drug use} that I would recommend you pick up when it comes out in ONE WEEK!
