Enjoyed this one, ⭐⭐⭐. Some good plot twists and turns, felt like it could easily be made into a movie. Have enjoyed a few Reese Witherspoon suggestions so decided to give it a try on her recommendation 🙂

I enjoyed this, it wasn‘t what I consider a page-turner until about 75% into it.

I really enjoyed this book. I listened to the audio and followed along reading the ebook. The writing was solid and I found myself getting emotionally invested. It is kind of Lifetime Movie-ish, but I don‘t consider that a bad thing.

Tessa comes home to find a little boy in her kitchen. He thinks shes his mother. But Tessa doesn‘t have any children.

Not anymore.

She doesnt know who the child is or how he got there.

After contacting the police, Tessa comes under suspicion for snatching the boy. She must prove her innocence. But how can she convince everyone shes not guilty when those closest to her are questioning the truth? And when Tessa doesnt even trust herself…
