This book had me hooked! I wasn't a huge fan of Grady and his head in the clouds vibe he had going, but I was really interested in where it all was headed. The ending had me really perplexed. It's like it really wanted to tie everything together, but really kind of muddied it all. Maybe that was the goal?
Grady is an author of a NY Times best selling book! He wants to celebrate with his wife, Abby, but she's running late, again. She spies someone lying in the road and then goes missing without a trace. A year later, his publisher (and Abby's godmother) sends him to a cabin on a remote island to write. Nothing is at all as it seems.
