Read 2 times. Last read October 8, 2020 to October 9, 2020.
Is Ava a woman who had a daughter, or one who has a daughter?
Is Ava a mother whose daughter is alive, or Is little Abi gone forever?
Someone knows the answer to those questions but their sense of self preservation is so strong that they will keep this secret despite the obvious grief it is causing this young mother.
Her angst and heartache were so palpable. 💔
My heart was breaking for her!!
A year later, a RANDOM comment made at the neighbor’s Housewarming party, will shed new light on what happened the day that little Abi, toddled out of her open front door, never to be seen again.
There are many authors who write stories which grab you from page 1, but leave you disappointed by the end, with an implausible finish, or unanswered questions.
But S.E. Lynes is a bit different.
I have found that all of her books begin with a more leisurely pace, and it takes till about the 50% point, before the pace ramps up and you race to the ALWAYS satisfying conclusion.
If you pay CLOSE attention to the right comments being made, you will pick up on some clues.
But, If you pay attention to the wrong comments, you will be cleverly misdirected toward the wrong suspect!
Which comments will you focus on??
This was a fun first buddy read with Javier who definitely focused on more of the RIGHT comments than I did!
I would like to thank Bookouture for my gifted copy.
It was a pleasure to provide a candid review!

Fantastic review, Jayme! You’re so right the conclusion was satisfying. I will have to read some of her other work.

Fantastic review Jayme! I love this author. So glad this was another good one. My favorite so far is The Proposal. I may have to add this one.
