Loved this book. Between this title and ‘Local Woman Missing’ Mary Kubica is becoming one of my favorite authors.

This book was fast-paced & really kept me trying to figure out what happened! The whole time I kept saying how everything Lily said made ZERO sense. honestly, I think this book could’ve definitely been a 5 star read if the author had just adjusted some details (the ending, getting more in-depth with Nina’s mom, explaining deeper what happened on the day of Jake’s death, etc..). The ending & the “big reveal” felt a little lackluster which is why I only gave it 3.5 stars. It definitely had the potential for a 5 star though! (Nina deserved SO much better from EVERYONE😭)

I don’t know why I keep trying with Mary Kubica. I don’t know how a mystery can be this boring. It’s probably because the character development isn’t strong. Every character is very one note.

Almost a DNF — I thought this dragged the entire time. Even the final few chapters were lackluster with any “reveals” happening in slow, monotonous scenes. The Christian chapters were especially hard to get through, i wish we’d had a different alternative POV.
