That ending! I didn’t see that coming! It was gripping and completely emotion-filled – however, it also left me with some questions about other happenings in the story (unless I misremembered them).
Lucy Lane disappeared six years ago from her grandparent’s house, and no one knows what happened that day. The family go back every summer, still holding out hope to find her, and we follow the story predominately through the experiences of her twin sister Mary – alongside snippets with her grandparents and parents, the Sergeant on the case, and the creepy next-door neighbour.
This book had me wanting to scream at the characters about what they were doing. Mary is only 10 but some of her actions frustrated me no end, but with everything in her life – I can also see why she’d also do some of them. Perry deeply disturbed me, I don’t think I need to say any more on that front. And the way Lucy’s disappearance had splintered and affected the family over the 6 years since was heartbreaking.
I’m definitely interested to see what else this author writes after reading this story!
Thank you Chloe Openshaw for kindly sending me a copy to review
