This was an 'ok' book. Not bad but, definitely, not great. The plot was sloppy and kinda confusing towards the end. And predictable: when we read Natalie's perspective of things and then read Dawn's messages there are so little things in common that I understood the plot. The only thing left was understanding the 'why' and when I got there it was just 'ok'.

I was expecting more.

Two women Dawn and Natalie are coworkers. Dawn is a little different; Natalie is the type that everyone must love. Dawn disappears, and we are left with another Freida McFadden work of art that will keep you guessing til the very end. 

This book was packed with twists and turns. Characters with secrets, a work environment like many. Characters that everyone has meet once in their life. Freida McFadden did amazing with this one! 5 Turtle 🐢 Stars ⭐️ Thank you NetGalley
