This book was mostly consumed over quiet lunch hours spent in my car the past few weeks. It may seem odd but I’ve really come to value that break in my work day. I can get outside where the sun is mostly shining and enjoy some me - time.

This book was great! I felt it was very well-written with lots of detail in the plot and depth to the characters. I identified with Olive and Jonathan as they learn to deal with their grief. I can’t imagine how much harder it is to grieve when the one you love goes missing and is presumed dead without a body being discovered, because the finality of a death would be lacking. Then to have the suspicions and beliefs that perhaps Billie, the wife and mother who goes missing, maybe isn’t actually dead at all? Unbearable. But I think Janelle Brown captures these roller coaster emotions authentically and well. My attention was kept the whole way through and its plot is unique from other psychological fiction that I’ve read.
