This book was about my neighborhood so it was fun to read! I enjoyed it but wish it would have not had such a slow burn

I listened to the audiobook and I was thoroughly confused for the first half of this book. Once I finally figured out who was who, and who was speaking each chapter, it all started to make sense. This was a nice and twisty mystery. Looking forward to reading more of Mary Kubica's work in the future.

the buildup of the book is way too long- 110 pages in and no such primary evidence of Esther going missing.

Sorry Mary but I cried a little at the end. I devoured this book and, like Quinn, grew more and more confused the farther I got into it. But like Alex, all I could do was watch it all unfold once the lightbulb went off. Masterful story telling. Red herrings. But clues that are more than coincidences.
Quinn's dutiful roommate goes missing and during the search Quinn discovers her roommate may not be who she thought she was.

Novel about a girl who is missing and the roommate who tries to find her. She uncovers a different roommate than she expected. The middle dragged on but the ending was superb.

El libro me ha parecido fantástico, aunque para ser sincera al principio me pareció algo lento y no me engancho pero conforme iba avanzando en cada página más ganas tenía de saber que pasaba, el final en cierto modo de una manera o de otra hay cosas que te esperas, pero también hay otras que no.
I thought the book was fantastic, although to be honest at first it seemed a bit slow and I wasn't hooked, but as I progressed through each page, the more I wanted to know what was going to happen, the end, in a certain way, one way or another, there are things that you expect, but there are also others that do not

WHY
Dear Quinn
You're a grown fucking woman. Please realize that.
This book was soooooo repetitive. I read about Quinn being baffled at new revelations about Esther and repeating them over and over and OVER again so many times! WE GET IT! You don't know your roommate at all, you're in love with a coworker who's already in a relationship (ew go away) and you just cannot decide how you feel about anything.
And Alex. Has there ever been a more boring character in a book EVER? Yeah, he's apparently "smart" but all I read was him making googly eyes at some random stranger and bringing said stranger sweatshirts and kerosene heaters although he didn't even know her NAME!
The ending was whatever. I guess it would have been more impactful if I'd actually cared about or liked any of the character in this book (which I didn't, including the always-supportive-always-there-lies-to-his-girlfriend BEN you jerk) but I honestly couldn't muster any positive emotion by that point.
After "The Good Girl," which I enjoyed MUCH more, this was just a huge disappointment. I don't think I'll be reading anything by this author again.
