This is better read than listened to on audiobook. Mainly because the timeline jumps are hard to keep track of. The characters and the situations of the timelines are so similar because they’re about a year apart. I found that it really pulled me out of the story and was a bit repetitive. I think it would have been better structured to have the plus-one party situation told almost all at the beginning as part I, then have part II be following the characters after a year from the incident. I found the ending a bit meh, with minor villain dialogue. Overall it was a good read.

This book definitely kept me guessing and reading till the very end. In the end, my guess was completely wrong as to what happened and I love that. My one disappointment was it just ended. I would have loved an extra chapter to explain a few things more or the aftermath instead of half-a$$ing the final chapter.

I enjoyed this one as I'm working my way through Reese's book club picks, but I think it fell just a touch short for me as I've been reading some really great thrillers recently. I thought it was a touch predictable (which is fine), but I enjoyed the fast paced flow of the story and it ended up being a really quick read for me. I would recommend it, but if you've read some really great thrillers recently, I'd probably not read this one right after that.

This book is most definitely written by Megan Miranda. I have read a few others written by her and sometimes it feels like these books are the same plot line with a different setting and different characters. This book resembles All The Missing Girls a little too closely; but thankfully has its differences. I enjoyed this book and it always had me guessing what was going to happen next.

I think the author seamlessly blended the past and present storylines really well. The storylines following the past give up just enough information to clue you into the mystery in the present. I loved the ending, and could see it coming right before I read it. I just hate that it was abrupt! The first 320 pages were leading up to the big ending...and then it just finished within 10 pages. It felt rushed and I was hoping for more.

Overall, it was a great story that focuses on grief, friendships and mystery (whodunnit). I enjoyed watching it unfold and reveal its many moving parts.

I would recommend this read to anyone who:
-enjoyed All The Missing Girls
-love stories with more than one timeline (this had 2)
-enjoy classic whodunnit plots

This felt like a pretty basic thriller. I found some parts boring while other parts intriguing. I did enjoyed the conclusion. I’ll probably try something else by this author.

My current reading problem? Only being able to read a little bit at a time. Which is fine, I’m getting in pages whenever I can, but it may have affected me from enjoying this one even more.

Am I not reading more because I don’t have time? Or is it that I’m just not into the book?
