Review:
Claire feels like she is married to a stranger, Duncan's need to control her and his secret affairs have driven her away, now that their son is 18 Claire feels like she can finally leave Duncan. But now their son, Joe is missing and Claire is struggling to piece together the evens of the night that tore tham all apart.

This story is split between Before & After of Joe's disappearance, told from Claire and Duncan's POV. It's hard to go into my thoughts without giving away too much of the book. This book was so well done, I love we got to see from both Claire & Duncan's perspective, we got to see how ones action could be misinterpreted. Duncan is definitely a problematic character and makes a questionable choices but as we get further along the book we really got a sense of his character.

The ending to this book was such a blow for me, I Did not see it coming at all and had me feeling a bit emotional. I really had to sit for a few moments and process the ending. This book started as a 3 star read, the ending bumped it up to 4 stars and after some thought & consideration I am giving this book 5 stars and going onto my favourites list of the year.
