Welcome to Litsy!

A #Top2024Read for sure! I‘ve loved all of Thorpe‘s earlier novels, but this one may just be her best yet! I couldn‘t put it down—but I also didn‘t want it to end! I didn‘t expect to be so fully engaged in the story of less than a year of this teen mom‘s life. Thought-provoking with every character brimming with life, I appreciated the wordplay, use of perspective & seeing the relationships develop between Margo, her friend & family. I loved it!

Wowza!! I absolutely couldn‘t put this genuinely jaw-dropping, gasp-out-loud-inducing thriller down! I can see why this was an option for #BookOfTheMonth for this month! The book opens with the titular return of Elizabeth “Ellie” Black who has been missing for two years. The lead detective, Chelsey Calhoun, following in her adopted father‘s steps, focuses on finding the perpetrator, risking her own personal life. Twisting plot & great characters!
