I don’t even know where to start without giving anything away—this book completely consumed me. First of all, I could not stop reading. One night, I literally stayed up until 2 am because I had to know what was going to happen next. Dandy, wow… You really wrote a story that kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way through.
The story follows two sisters who are left home alone for the first time when their parents go to a dinner party. That night, 16-year-old Olivia is abducted, and her younger sister Caitlin is left behind. For over ten years, Caitlin struggles with guilt and trauma until suddenly, Olivia comes back. But is this woman really her sister? That question drives the whole book, and let me tell you, it messed with my head in the best way.
This was such an addictive read. It’s told in dual timelines and POVs, which I loved, giving the story that extra depth and intensity. On one hand, it’s an emotional story about sisters and family. On the other hand, it’s this dark, twisty psychological thriller that kept me second-guessing everyone. At times, I felt like I was going crazy right along with Caitlin, trying to figure out if she was imagining things or if she was right all along.
And honestly? I got so mad sometimes because no one believed Caitlin. I was literally yelling at my book like, “Why won’t you listen to her?! 😂
The twists and turns were nonstop, and I never saw that ending coming. Dandy Smith really delivered with this one, suspenseful, emotional, and full of surprises. Do I wish there were a slightly happier ending? Sure. But honestly, with everything the characters went through, the way it wrapped up felt just right.
I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it if you love psychological thrillers that keep you up all night
