Not my fav, but it was good. Extremely predictable but still interesting to see the story unfold.

2.75/5⭐️

I fear my experience with this book was fastly different to many other people who have read it. To be honest this read like a Dateline 20/20 episode, commercials included, that stretched out for too long. Like there wasn’t anything twisty to it. Everything played out in what was the most obvious manner. And while I feel bad for the charcters involved my reading experience just wasn’t my favorite. But there are many people who love this book so maybe something is wrong with me.

I liked that it kept me on my toesies but it also felt really predictable. Though, it was a fun and quick read!

did not expect that at all

Wow! What a fast read. I really liked this story, even though the ending was fairly obvious about halfway through the book. I do think the ending was a bit over the top and unnecessary, it also left a lot of large character changes at the end that didn’t exactly add up to the character development throughout. But overall it was a great quick read.

** spoiler alert ** This was so good. The killer was expected but the boyfriend angle surprised me.

I enjoyed this but the Big Reveal was predictable from the first few chapters.

I was expecting more. This book was very predictable from the beginning, and I kept thinking it was the author's intention so that the reveal would hit all the better. Unfortunately, the reveal wasn't that big of a reveal for me. I didn't predict it to the t but my guess came very close. What I did like were the relationship dynamics, the character development and the writing! The plot was nice as well. I would've preferred if we didn't get the multiple timelines. I'm guessing the author wanted to create a tense atmosphere by letting us in on what happened before Laurel made her discoveries, but to me, this killed the suspense. 

Wow. This is the most interesting book I have ever read. Although it is heartbreaking in so many aspects. I kind of guessed what had really happened by about the first 1/4 but the end threw me for a loop. READ IT! I stayed up til 2 the other night for it. Yeah, it's one of those.

Kept my attention but was fairly predictable — ended up skimming some and don’t feel like I missed much

all I have to say is what the fuck was that. Such a good read with the most unexpected twist I would of never expected

A good old fast paced thriller! Definetely recommend this one. Be warned, heart wrenching and tragic!

Much more than your typical missing daughter plot. Scattered with hints of some shocking revelations to come. There’s an emotional punch as tension builds towards dramatic ending.

Darker than my expectation A great read. It dragged a little bit in the middle, but the introduction was interesting, and the climax was just perfect. Well written characters, even if some of the character motivations felt a bit hollow. I don't think I've ever hated any character from a book this much. Overall, a nice written immersive mystery novel.

Tragic, page-turning story. Well written though tough to read at times.

3.5 ..maybe. i’ll be real this was kinda scary to read because situations like this happen all the time…..

The book is very interesting and the writing is very straightforward! I always love me a book where I'm not very fond of the main character. While she is a good mom (towards one child at least) she's not very likable, so reading through her journey and disagreeing with her for most of the time was interesting! I liked it a lot it was a good plot and good writing.

** spoiler alert ** loving this as much as i did was a total shock. i started the book and i immediately disliked the writing style, but i stuck with it! i’ve seen it at tons of stores and it always caught my attention so i NEEDED to read and get through it. i was very pleasantly surprised! the story kept me hooked and the book didn’t leave my hand unless i HAD to go to something else. i finished the majority of it in one day yall 😭 it shocked me. i love a good sad cry & this ending came through. i was SOBBING and felt my heart physically hurt!! i did not expect that at ALL. both of my little theories were very wrong LOL i was extremely surprised. i noticed that a lot of people thought floyd’s death at the end was really unnecessary but i think it kind of makes the story better? i hated his death so much, but i did understand. however, it would’ve been cool to see him stay and grow his family with laurel’s. i think poppy and floyd deserved better. in conclusion ,,, i absolutely loved then she was gone and i see myself picking some other lisa jewell books in the future <3 this definitely became one of my 2023 favs! plz read

I thought about giving the book 4 stars, but it made me shed a tear, actually. So it happens that I jump up the rating to 4,5. The thing that happened was horrible, and the closure.... well, it doesn't make everything okay, but it's a start, I guess. The writing is less descriptive than what I would have liked my books to be, but it's not bad. I guessed the plot twist correctly every time, but I don't really mind.

amazing, que locura

great read. I love books that shift perspective. Reminded me of The Collector by John Fowles

This book keeps you guessing, it's a really good read with many twists and turns.

Definitely didn’t expect the ending of this one.

I didn't like the characters in this story but am rating it decently well because the plot caught me off guard. When I thought I knew what was going to happen it surprised me.
