I was blown away by The Final Act, so I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the author’s new book. It’s not quite as remarkable as The Final Act, but I was pulled in and compelled to keep reading to see what would happen next.
There are dual timelines and multiple POVs. It seemed pretty obvious how the timelines would intersect even without repeating characters, but it didn’t all play out as I had anticipated. I was intrigued by the family that kept disappearing in the middle of the night.
I love reading 90s fiction, which was the setting of one of the timelines, but humorously I can keep it straight in my head how long ago it really was. I’m not sure if that would have helped me put it all together.
I related to Serena and I’m always a fan of a writer as a character. And I thought it was clever to have her research the disappearing family to try to bring the timelines full circle.
There was one part of the story that I can say I have never seen done and I got such a kick out of it after being surprised. I don’t want to issue any spoilers but you’ll know it when you get there.
I read this in less than a day and because of the fast pace, I never wanted to put it down. It hit my need for a popcorn thriller.
This is definitely a take on vacation and lounge by the pool or beach type of book. Out just in time for #summerreading.
