And Then You Were Gone by R.J. Jacobs
3.0

Rating-3/5 Stars
Emily has bipolar disorder, but she tends to manage it with medicine and lives a pretty normal life. She has a handsome boyfriend and works as a psychologist with children.
One day, her boyfriend convinces her to sleep on a sailboat with him. When she wakes up, he is gone and no where to be found. The police either think she killed him in a rage or he somehow drowned.
But, Emily does not think he is dead or drowned. What could have happened to him though?
I really love the concept of this book and I thought it had a good start of a foundation for an amazing book. I found this one to run flat though. There was really no anticipation or oh my gosh moments. It felt mundane. I enjoyed reading through Emily’s perspective and seeing her go from great to terrible, back to sane. But, the action and the pacing was just not doing it for me.
