This is my second Lisa Jewel book, and it was so good. It’s starts a bit slow in the beginning but it’s really quite interesting, so that’s okay. It follows a few different people and jumps from one persons pov to another, yet Lisa is able to keep the story on track. Everything lines up so well. You have the past and the present, Kim living in a world without Tallulah, everything that led up to her disappearance from Tallulahs pov, and Sophie, the detective novelist that was sucked into this crazy thing that happened in this small village. This story kept me absolutely captivated every step, and I didn’t feel the need to skim any of it.
