5✨ This book was so good! A young teen disappears without a trace. Her family is torn apart for various reasons. What really happened is so dark and twisted it‘s hard to put down. I was constantly in a state of shock, and the desire to discover what happened was overwhelming. Very well written with suspense, extreme dislike to one of the characters, and an unsettled feeling that makes you crave more. #FableBC

15 year old Ellie Mack disappears on her way to the library. 10 years later her fractured family is still looking for answers. The book alternates between the present and the time leading up to the disappearance. Told from multiple viewpoints, but mostly Mom‘s. Despite figuring out fairly early what happened, the tension was palpable throughout my read. Very Creepy!

Laurel‘s precious daughter Noelle disappears and the most expected family discord follows. Despair, growth, love, heartache, and redemption all in one. 👍🏻 Definitely would have been a quick read if things hadn‘t been hectic. 🖤

A page turner - I read it on a day! If you enjoyed Gone Girl, you will enjoy this. It has mystery, love, family dysfunction, traumatic upbringings….and is written in such a way that you adore the characters and can‘t put it down until the end.

A solid dark domestic thriller. It has a bunch of twists and turns, and even though I guessed who did it, the journey was entertaining, sad and harrowing. Also a solid audiobook listen. 4⭐️

In dealing with an overwhelming loss of her daughter, Laurel meets Floyd which feels so right then she meets Poppy, his daughter, her resemblance to her missing daughter Ellie is remarkable, it must be a coincidence, but is it! Who is Floyd and why is Poppy the spitting image of Ellie. What does Laurel uncover about Ellie‘s disappearance, was Floyd involved in Ellie‘s disappearance or did she just runaway!

This book was slow at the beginning, but then it got too good to put down. I knew nothing about this mystery/thriller when I started it, but I‘m glad I went in blind - it was a great surprise. I ultimately described the end of the book as a beautiful disaster. The characters are so well written , you are cheering for some and hate others. You keep trying to figure it out, but I wasn‘t prepared for the reveals.

A quick crime reading after a classic. It was good a for one reading. My problem with many new English crime novels is that the twist is very easy and I can guess it in the first part of the book.

This book was fine. Fairly predictable, with the exception of a few plot points that were not so much unpredictable as they were implausible. I listened on audio and the narrator did a good job, especially with the Irish accent.

Does it ever mention how Ellie got pregnant with poppy in the first place ?

5feet.of.fury I remember Noelle drugged her and …I gues turkey basted her… I don‘t think it went into specifics… with sperm she got off the internet. 2y
BookishGirl06 @5feet.of.fury I just finished it and that just seems so weird to me. What did she knock her out again and insert sperm into her privates or something? I don‘t think she could sneak it into her food cause I don‘t think that‘s how it works 2y

90ish pages in and I already have a theory. Don‘t spoil me if I‘m right or not please, but I‘m wondering if Poppy and Ellie are related somehow. Obviously not the same person but 🤔

BookishGirl06 I wonder if maybe Ellie is poppy‘s biological mother. Again don‘t tell me if I‘m right or not 2y

This was the first book I read from this author and WOW I loved it! Definitely a page turner and I enjoyed thinking about all the possibilities that the storyline could take me. It was suspenseful with an ending I actually liked. If you have read any other books by Lisa Jewell I would love some recommendations.

An amazing thriller by Lisa Jewell.

Ellie Mack, 15, went missing in this suspenseful psychological thriller. In her book Then She Was Gone, Lisa Jewell emphasizes less on what actually happened to Ellie and more on how and why she disappeared, as well as the consequences for her family.

This was such a devastating story. Laurel has a teenage daughter that simply vanishes one day with out any answers or leads. The story moves on with Laurel not being able to come to terms with the disappearance of Ellie. This book moved quickly and was rather dark. I found the ending to be a little predictable, but I still drank it all up.

THEN SHE WAS GONE by Lisa Jewell

Ten years after Laurel‘s daughter, Ellie, goes missing, she meets someone special and begins to piece her life back together, and repair the bonds with her remaining family. But alas, along the way of healing, there may be unexpected clues as to what happened to Ellie…

Full of subtle foreshadowing and a few good twists, this is a bizarre, enthralling tale that will rip your heart out—and then maybe put it back📖

5feet.of.fury Loved this one, so haunting. 2y

This one managed to keep me guessing until (almost) the end. And I actually didn't mind the shifting points of view. I enjoyed getting into some of the other character's heads. It really rounded out the narrative for me. I suppose there is some content in this book that could be triggering for some. Wasn't an issue for me, but I thought I'd put it out there for anyone considering giving it a read. All in all, I enjoyed it.

The novel is totally "bizarre," just as Jewell describes it. The haunting tale of a missing child and the carefully constructed jumps from past to present made it difficult to put the book down. Ultimately I found the twists a bit predictable, aside from the very end! I would definitely recommend this if you're up for a mystery.

The author herself describes this story as “utterly bizarre” and she‘s right. It‘s also thrilling, fast-paced, and really, really hard to put down.
