“To anyone who finds this note [it begins], my name is Ellie Mack.

I am seventeen. None of them must feel bad about what happened to me because I am brave and I am brilliant and I am strong.

Let me start by saying this was quite great. I will say that it’s extremely triggering and would advice everyone to search up thorough trigger warnings before venturing into this book. It was a good thriller and the way the story unfolded to readers before it did to characters in the book was good. I’m assuming it’s a deliberate play of the author’s. I liked it. The author references the kidnapping of Colleen Stan but this reminded me of the Fritzl case. Truly horrifying.

Then She Was Gone is the heartbreaking story of a family dealing with grief, the devastating story of a mother who lost her golden child, the terrifying story of how sick lengths some individuals will go to appease themselves and a keep someone tied to them, the story of a mentally bothered man who was nothing but a child to hold on to and the dark secrets he buries, ultimately it’s a story of gore, grief and the audacity. (I mean this in the meanest way possible, sick sick Noelle,SICK SICK Floyd)

Overall, I recommend. If you’re looking for a great thriller, give this one a try.

This book was a rollercoaster. I definitely did not expect some of the events in this book. It was an overall fun read.

Entertaining. That's all I'm going to say. 
It didn't feel like a thriller because the mystery kind of took a second place in the story and almost every twist was predictable but strangely, I liked that. 
The story per se is just so fucked up but it was written in a way that it was lighthearted and comforting to read. 
My first Lisa Jewell's book and definitely not the last.
