4.0

This was a fun thriller, even if a bit long in the set-up. I love Mary Kubica’s twists so I knew one was coming, but it was such a well-done slow development that I didn’t figure it out until it was on the pages in front of me.

SYNOPSIS
  • Quinn & Esther are roommates living in Chicago. One Sunday morning, Quinn wakes up, and Esther is nowhere to be found.
  • Meanwhile, in a nearby suburb, Alex Gallo, a nineteen-year-old working at a diner, is intrigued by a new customer - a pretty, young woman.

MY THOUGHTS
  • Mary Kubica is one of my favorite authors! I’ve read 8 total by her so far, and the only one I haven’t read yet is When the Light Goes Out.
  • Dual POVs (Quinn & Alex) in alternating chapters. 
  • Meh, overall, just an okay read. Not my favorite of Kubica’s work. Ending was okay.
  • Drags quite a bit. Quinn’s chapters were become annoying, as she repeats a lot & isn’t a very likable character.  

TL;DR: ⭐️⭐️⭐️Kubica is one of my favorite authors, but this book isn’t her best work. Overall, just an okay read.
