At times I didn’t want to keep going, but felt I had to to figure out the tangles that created this mystery. Although you can kind of see where things are headed, how Jewell tells the story is interesting and pulls you in. I enjoyed how the book did not just center on the missing girl and her mom, but expanded to show the complexities of the entire family & extended family. The ending is bittersweet but I’m glad I finished this book.
