Really liked this book, had anxiety the whole time trying to figure out what happened.
Listened to this on audio and loved it!
Kept me guessing until the end
Quick fun read. The main plot hard to believe.
A six year old girl, Delilah and her moter Meredith goes missing and after 11 years only the girl returns. It creates tension, suspense on every chapter and keeps you guessing about what had happened.
A very gripping story with many twists and turns which blows the mind.
The characters like Bea, Kate, Leo, Josh and Dr.Feingold are interesting with their nature. Delilah's mental and physical state hurts the heart.
At first, a woman called Shelby goes missing which creates a tension, questions in the neighbors and then about the missing of Delilah and Meredith, the whole neighbourhood gets involved and truths starts to reveal.
Positive : The shift from small details to larger narratives are quite interesting. The plot is mind blowing and nowhere near the guesses made. The plot shows how a person make choices considering his/her needs which proves selfishness.
Negative : Some of the detailed explanation about characters feels bored and unnecessary. The neighbours were investigating better than the police officers. So many characters and many povs at different timelines. One more chapter from Delilah's pov would be better to end the story.
