They say true love is blind, and it really was for Nina Garrity. After her husband, Glen, disappears, she meets a teacher, Simon, at her daughter Maggie's school. They have a whirlwind relationship and end up moving in together. Simon seems to be the perfect boyfriend and after finding out Glen cheated on her, that's what Nina needed. However, Simon may be too good to be true, and if Maggie has her way, she'll prove her father didn't leave them and is still alive.

I love a good thriller, and this book had the potential, but I felt it was slow moving especially in the beginning. There weren't really any big twists that I couldn't see coming which is what I love in a thriller. I did not like Nina as a character. She believed Simon too often over her children and let him control her. She works as a social worker so should have been able to see that was what he was doing. Maggie was a good character though. She was strong for a 13 year old which I thought was great.

I won a copy of this book from Macmillan Audio so listened to the audiobook. I did think the narrator for Maggie sounded older than 13 so made me think she was older throughout the book.
