And Then You Were Gone
by R.J. Jacobs
I must apologize in advance to any book that follows a five-star read. We’ve all had the curse of the book hangover. Some of us wallow in it for weeks and some of us have troubles reading anything for quite some time. Often times if we don’t wait long enough it can affect our reading enjoyment.
Its quite clear to me that I would have enjoyed Jacobs book a lot more, had I not just read one of my top books for 2019. So, while I liked this book, I know there are people who really liked or even loved it so be sure to check out their reviews on Goodreads.
Imagine waking up on a boat and your boyfriend is no where to be found. Did he drown? Did he get picked up by another boat? Did he swim away? Where the heck did he go?
As the mystery unfolds, all fingers point to Emily. Has she done something she doesn’t remember and is she at fault for all the people that keep showing up dead? Racing to figure out what has happened she enlists the aid of her lost boyfriends’ coworker, Cal.
I thought Jacobs did an excellent job of portraying a character with bipolar disorder. The manic episodes and mood swings all seemed very real. So, it was no surprise to me that the author is a practicing psychologist.
If you read and enjoyed Blood Orange, then you may enjoy this book.
3.5 stars
