I really enjoyed this book!

It’s a different kind of thriller - rather than being the fast paced currently happening thriller, it’s a I don’t know what happened because I have memory loss kind of thriller. So it’s full of little details slowing being revealed to piece together what happened 20-odd years earlier.

I thought I knew what was happening when I started but as more and more details were revealed, I was second guessing myself.

I loved the difference in POVs - present day Lily, present day Alice and what actually happened in 1993. It didn’t seem like they were connected but it slowly became more obvious.

I love Lisa Jewell’s books anyway but I enjoyed this nonetheless.

This book was a page-turner. It had me on my toes. I tried to put my detective hat on while I was reading and my assumption about the outcome was partly correct. I actually liked the character development. It was hard for me to connect with Lily while reading; however, I think that was a natural feeling with her character as a whole. I liked the plot and the development. Overall, this was a great quick read. I recommend this for anyone who just wants something quick to read and is ready to try and solve a case.
