This book was a difficult read but was so well written. The troubles of motherhood and mental illness was very well explored. I felt the pain and emotion throughout.

"Nobody understands what it's like to be locked in the mind of a mother." 

Really sophisticated and moving missing child thriller that boils down to one sentence: for the love of god, address trauma with your children or they will be fucked up for LIFE. Everyone would've probably lived through this story had they one conversation with their parents.

Additionally, the husband in the story was one of the most odious villains I've come across in a while. I hated that dude so much. 

Last, this made me want to live in both Savannah and Beaufort. Why in the world am I in Minnesota?
