Thank you, St. Martin’s Press, for the gifted copy of Gone Tonight {partner}

Genre: Mystery
Trope: Family Secrets
Format: 🎧
Audiobook Narration: ☆☆☆☆
Pub Date: 8.1.2023
Star Rating: ☆☆☆☆


The first half of Gone Tonight read more like a contemporary fiction novel - I knew there wasn’t something quite right about Ruth and Catherine, but it never gave me that propulsive mystery feel. But, after the 50% mark, the suspense increased, and the rest of the book flew by!

Gone Tonight illustrated the relationships between mothers and daughters and how so many daughters don’t realize their mothers are people, too; they have secrets and histories that they don’t want to be uncovered. 

I chose to listen to Gone Tonight through the Netgalley app, and I’m so glad I did because the audio was phenomenal. I was hooked and kept finding excuses to put in my AirPods and get lost in Ruth and Catherine’s captivating story.

3️⃣ Told in three parts
✌🏼 Dual perspective
🫂 Complex relationships
🎧 Highly recommend the audiobook


Gone Tonight by Sara Pekkanen is perfect for fans of Ginny & Georgia.
