Poppy, a young sheriff’s deputy in Kansas, is working her first case after being dismissed from the military. Soon she discovers that the car they found with two dead bodies in the local lake is linked to an unsolved missing persons case from when she was younger. Neither of the bodies belong to Alison, the missing teen, but she has left a note that simply says “if something happens to me”. Poppy needs to find Ryan, the suspect she was with on that fatal night.
Alison went missing years ago while out on a date with then boyfriend, Ryan. He can’t remember much from that night, but knows that a man grabbed him from the car and Ali has never been seen again. Ryan has dealt with rumors all his life, but he had nothing to do with her disappearance. Now, Ryan is vacationing in Tuscany, but his world comes to a crashing halt when he sees the man that destroyed his life all those years ago. Can he track him down and finally find out what happened to Ali all those years ago?
Overall rating 3/5
I was hooked at the beginning of the book and was really investing in the character dynamics. However, the middle of the book was so distracting from all the different storylines and timelines that I found it hard to stay connected with the main characters. I do however, like how the storylines converged at the end of the book.
