I was definitely interested and didn’t want to put the book down. There were a few loose ends that I wish were tied up at the end

like what was the deal with Cassandra blaming Meredith for her husband’s infidelity? I feel like that didn’t add anything to the plot. Also, I wish it was revealed that Marty and Shelby were having an affair, it would have made sense.

the reveal at the end was good but not crazy shocking.

This book was a decent thriller. It starts from the POV of a  teenager who was kidnapped as a little girl. The story jumps back and forth between before she and her mother disappeared, to present day. It is told from multiple POVs. The story left you guessing until the  end.
