They find pieces of Owen’s past that neither of them would have ever anticipated and learn that their lives may become jeopardized forever.
My Review
This was my first Laura Dave book and she pulled me in from the start. I enjoyed her writing style as she used flashbacks to give a better understanding of the characters, their relationships, and their motives. I liked how the story unraveled and I had a hard time putting it down. This book is fast paced, and it will keep you engaged all throughout. I rate it a 4.5 out of 5 because I wasn’t too happy with the ending. I wish there would’ve been more closure and I was left with some unanswered questions. Overall I really enjoyed the book and will definitely be giving Laura Dave’s other books a read as well!
Conclusion
Not only was this book chosen by Reese Witherspoon’s Book Club (Book of the Month Club) and the Richard and Judy Book Club, but it was also named as the Goodreads Mystery & Thriller of the Year for 2021. This book did not disappoint and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes thrillers and mysteries, or is looking to dip their toes in that genre! And if you’re not a huge reader, Apple TV+ released a series starring Jennifer Garner that is based on the book!

Hi Olivia! Reading is something I also enjoy doing in my free time! I read a lot more romance books rather than other genres, but I'm always looking for new books that aren't like the ones I always read. This one seems very interesting and I'm definitely going to put it on my list of books to read!
