Gone Tonight by Sarah Pekkanen
4.5

Many thanks to my friends at @stmartinspress and @macmillan.audio for the #gifted copies of this book.  
 
Compulsive.  Addictive.  Bingeable.  This book came in the mail on Saturday, and I closed the last page on by Sunday! 
 
Deception abounds in this unique storyline, and Pekkanen adeptly plots each reveal creating a propulsive read.  
 
A mother and daughter against the world, until secrets start to crack that once firm foundation, begging the question: just how well do you know those you love?
 
Many thrillers beg that question.  And yet, Pekkanen manages to do it in a fresh and innovative new way, creating a unique balancing act between love and deception that thrills.    
 
This was a perfect summer read for me- fast paced, cleverly executed, and fully entertaining.  I can’t wait to see what Pekkanen does next!  
 
🎧 I partnered my physical book with the audiobook, and it was a winning combination!  Actress @katemara narrates the audiobook, and she creates a full-bodied execution of the novel, allowing both POV a distinct voice.
