Gone Before Goodbye

AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

An unforgettable suspense novel that combines the storytelling talents of Academy Award-winning actor Reese Witherspoon and internationally bestselling author Harlan Coben. Gone Before Goodbye is the story of a woman trapped in a deadly conspiracy--where uncovering the truth could cost her everything.

Maggie McCabe is teetering on the brink. A highly skilled and renowned Army combat surgeon, she has always lived life at the edge, where she could make the most impact. And it was all going to plan ... until it wasn't.

Upside down after a devastating series of tragedies leads to her medical license being revoked, Maggie has lost her purpose, but not her nerve or her passion. At her lowest point, she is thrown a lifeline by a former colleague, an elite plastic surgeon whose anonymous clientele demand the best care money can buy, as well as absolute discretion.

Halfway across the globe, sequestered in the lap of luxury and cutting-edge technology, one of the world's most mysterious men requires unconventional medical assistance. Desperate, and one of the few surgeons in the world skilled enough to take this job, Maggie enters his realm of unspeakable opulence and fulfills her end of the agreement. But when the patient suddenly disappears while still under her care, Maggie must become a fugitive herself--or she will be the next one who is ... Gone Before Goodbye

I wish I could give it 4 1/2, it was a great book but almost too complicated at the end.

A fast-paced thriller that I enjoyed reading, especially the parts set in Dubai.

I went for the audiobook narrated by Reese Witherspoon and Chris Pine. I felt like the story was pushing the adrenaline of the events to be more dramatic to get the reader more thrilled with the twists of the plots but I found the actual storyline to be underwhelming and a bit overhyped. I think I would have preferred reading it over the audiobook. It felt more like a Netflix action movie than a slowly built up plot that had me invested. All the elements were there for a great book, I just didn't connect.

So much good build up for the ending to be disappointing. This book was really hard to start (very slow beginning) but captivated my attention towards the middle. I was confused and definitely did not see the ending coming but I was still disappointed by it. Would not read again, lowkey mid.

There was some twists in this book that kept my interest however there were a couple of pretty glaring plot holes that really had me screaming! Didn't see the end coming the way it did... but it was fitting. Its a good one time read if you can find it on a good sale!
