The Life She Left Behind by Nicole Trope
3.0
3.5 stars
The Life She Left Behind really is a page-turner. Each chapter is told from a different character’s perspective - Rachel (the main character), Ben (her husband), Little Bird (Rachel as a young child), and an unnamed character (who you figure out later on in the book).
This is a thriller that’s not too intense. You do want to keep reading to find out what’s going to happen, though I don’t think the point is to figure out who is causing the incidents. If it was, I figured it out very early on.
There was one small thread that wasn’t tied up at the end. It was not a major plot point but could have easily have been addressed in the epilogue.
Trigger warnings include a great deal of domestic and child abuse.
I did enjoy this book and would read more by the author, but don’t go into it expecting an intense thriller.
Thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for the ARC!
