The author delivers an excellent storyline filled with unexpected twists and turns. While a few chapters felt a bit drawn out, the details ultimately added depth to the narrative. Overall, it’s a compelling read and would make for an incredible movie adaptation!
This book is a lengthy read as it not only covers the drama and crime of a missing person but also the character development of the main characters spanning decades. The short chapters mostly covering 2-4 ages each test your patience but carry the patience and time the characters must have felt in their lifetime tied to this traumatic moment. It is a bit hard to describe the book without giving spoilers away but this is a book I would enjoy as a winter read but not a book to run to.
If I could give this book an 11 rating, I would. This has been one of my favorite reads this year, every emotion and reaction possible has been evoked with the twists coming and unknown. A sad but deeply moving story, growing with the characters through each phase of their lives…. Getting closure never felt so good!!!
This book is well written with the author doing a fabulous job taking the time to give you the depth of the characters and what makes them unique. He gets you hooked and effortlessly transports you to his world. The story line is engaging, emotional, and keeps you hooked and thinking. Surprising at times, be prepared to laugh and cry and maybe get upset at a few points. this is what makes it so good!
