The writer missed a huge opportunity to enrich the story by adding Ethan's POV. Or more of the police's effort. The entire story was focused on two different sets of people, making the ending something that was ho-hum and easily guessed. Most of the story was focused on the mom's emotions, instead of the investigation of the case. While I can appreciate the author's attempt to make the book feel like one would with a missing child, they missed the mark by not pairing it with more of a story.

I believe I found this book on Kindle Unlimited and enjoyed it. I haven't read much from this author but plan to look for more from her.

I absolutely loved The Marriage Lie and recommended it to all my friends so I was so excited to start this book too and thankfully Belle did not disappoint. I would consider this a domestic thriller/mystery. It is told with two alternating points of view, Kat, whose son, Ethan has disappeared on a class trip and Stef, another mother of Ethan's classmate. This was such a unique spin on a plot with a missing child. Full of twists and surprises, I loved this one. 4.5 huge stars!!
