Lost You | Haylen Beck
17 posts | 19 read | 16 to read
A provocative and unputdownable psychological suspense about two women locked in a desperate fight over a child each believes is rightfully hers Libby needs a break. Three years ago her husband split, leaving her to raise their infant son Ethan alone as she struggled to launch her writing career. Now for the first time in years, things are looking up. She's just sold her first novel, and she and Ethan are going on a much-needed vacation. Everything seems to be going their way, so why can't she stop looking over her shoulder or panicking every time Ethan wanders out of view? Is it because of what happened when Ethan was born? Except Libby's never told anyone the full story of what happened, and there's no way anyone could find her and Ethan at a faraway resort . . . right? But three days into their vacation, Libby's fears prove justified. In a moment of inattention, Ethan wanders into an elevator before Libby can reach him. When the elevator stops and the doors open, Ethan is gone. Hotel security scours the building and finds no trace of him, but when CCTV footage is found of an adult finding the child wandering alone and leading him away by the hand, the police are called in. The search intensifies, a lost child case turning into a possible abduction. Hours later, a child is seen with a woman stepping through an emergency exit. Libby and the police track the woman down and corner her, but she refuses to release Ethan. Asked who she is, the woman replies: "I'm his mother." What follows is one of the most shocking, twist-y, and provocative works of psychological suspense ever written. A story of stolen identity, of surrogacy gone horribly wrong, and of two women whose insistence that each is the "real" mother puts them at deadly cross-purposes, Lost You is sure to be one of 2019's most buzzed-about novels.

I listened to this book about the kidnapping. Once I realized it was about surrogacy, I felt it was too obvious. There was a twist that makes these end less expected. Enjoyable enough but nothing stellar.

I enjoyed this one although both women made me mad at times.

LOST YOU is a gut-wrenching, compulsive read. One mother is being economically forced to surrogacy and one woman has lost her adopted child at a hotel. And what comes between these two events will have you on the edge of your seat. The writing is smartly structured and goes back and forth in time to reveal a story of two women... https://www.bluestockingreviews.com/post/lost-you

This one is between a pick & a so-so, but I‘m rounding up because I really didn‘t want to put it down to see what would happen... it‘s an exciting read that moves backwards from its terrifying opening of a woman on the roof of a hotel with a toddler in her arms... the next chapters fill in how this comes about. It‘s exciting but also heartbreaking. It‘s not a book I would recommend to all because I think it will hit many triggers! #NetGalley

I received this as an advance digital copy from netgalley. Good story. Psychological thriller, involving illegal surrogacy and those who attempt to exploit it.

This was...fine. It held my attention and was a very fast read. I personally prefer my thrillers to be more literary, but if you crave a decent genre read this will certainly do. What appears at first to be a fairly straight-forward plot about two women clashing over a baby they both believe to be theirs becomes something even darker and sadder. The women are given sufficient character development to elicit sympathy for each of them.

MyNamesParadise I didn‘t realize she has a new one out. I won Here and Gone in a Goodreads giveaway but never read it 🙈 5y
