"In downtown Chicago, Esther Vaughan disappears from her apartment without a trace. A haunting letter addressed to My Dearest is found among her possessions, leaving her roommate Quinn Collins to question how well she really knew her friend. Meanwhile, in a small town an hour outside Chicago, a mysterious woman appears in the quiet coffee shop where eighteen-year-old Alex Gallo works as a dishwasher. He is immediately drawn to her, but what starts as an innocent crush quickly spirals into something far more sinister.
As Quinn searches for answers about Esther, and Alex is drawn further under the stranger's spell, master of suspense Mary Kubica takes readers on a taut and twisted thrill ride that builds to a stunning conclusion and show that no matter how fast and far we run, the past always catches up with us."
My Rating: 2.5/5
This just wasn't what I wanted from my next thrilling read. I didn't read the synopsis before I started the book because I find sometimes they are misleading or give too much about the plot away. But this one sums it up. We follow two P.O.Vs from different lives and we watch as they begin to connect.I just didn't find that this story was as twisted as I wanted it to be. I found that Quinn was often looking facts in the eye and then shocked when she realized the facts that they held. As for Alex, just a teenage boy with some mommy issues. I wasn't fully shocked at the conclusion as I came to understand what was happening a few chapters before it happened. That being said the premise was interesting enough that I finished the story. I do hope to read more from the author in the future.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
