Was a good book with mystery. Wouldn’t read again and the plot had some questionable flaws.

I'm glad I went into this one blind, because reading the description and reviews first would have thrown me off. but I loved this. I read it in one sitting and stayed up until 1 to finish. really good on audio. it's really not a thriller imo.....more of a twisty mystery, and it's about motherhood more than anything. also! people are hating on the ending, but

as someone who was raised by a single mom who would have done the same thing in a heartbeat,

that's what made the book for me.

This book had so much potential but, it was quite boring. the "big" secret that owen was carrying the whole book was not juicy at all. there was such a potential to make a huge plot twist and there wasn't. The ending however was somewhat wholesome and i appreciate that but, the whole rest of the book was rushed.

4.25/5 :

This book centers around a wife and a daughter who is searching for their husband/father. I loved how Laura Dave incorporated family dynamics and also multiple flashbacks. This book was definitely a page turner.

This is a first Laura Dave book I have read and I look forward to reading more of her books.

Content Warnings : a few mentions of the f-bombs but not distracting from the overall story.

Hannah and Owen have been married for a year. His sixteen year old daughter, Bailey, isn't a fan. Hannah has been working hard on building a relationship - nothing works until Owen disappears.
A knock on the door changes their lives - a young girl delivers a note from Owen. Protect her.
Owen's software company is under indictment- the CEO escorted in handcuffs. Hannah and Bailey know Owen would never participate in shady dealings - so why did he run?
A US Marshall from Austin arrives - adding more confusion and frustration. But he gives Hannah a starting point.
After she learns Owen and Bailey Michaels didn't exist - until 10 years ago.
I couldn't put this book down. I stayed up past my bedtime to finish. Great writing. Excellent mystery. Loved the characters.
