Great story that keeps you hooked until the very end. An excellent finish reveals everything to the reader that was hiding in plain sight.

In 1975 Barbara vanishes from the summer camp on her family‘s property.In 1961 her brother disappeared in the same woods&was never found.Told through the eyes of several mostly female characters&jumping back&forth in time could have been confusing but is done so well that it adds to the suspense.I love that Moore wrote both an engaging story with an unexpected (sad) ending&created characters the reader can relate to.Her criticism of sexism

Anna40 Resonated with me too. This book is worth the wait! I was initially 433rd in line at the library!!! 1w

I never considered bailing on the book, so I have to give it three stars, but the ending has made it a super low pick for me. There were parts of the narrative never resolved, I couldn't stand the Jutya storyline (why are women cops always written so poorly?) and while the pacing was good and the dueling timelines ratcheted up tension, the ending fell so flat as to nearly ruin the good parts of the book.

Larkken I just bailed on this one 😆 I'm not mad that I looked up the end. It was just getting to where I hated John Paul too much (and maybe Peter, too?) to go on with. 2w
HettyG @Larkken it was such a well reviewed book! I was surprised to find how little I liked it by the end. 2w
TiredLibrarian I agree with you about the ending. I'm kind of surprised by all the praise for this book. 2w

Thanks, I hated it! Maybe my timing is off, but reading about a bunch of snobby elites blame everyone around them and hating on women was not helping this week 🫠
The #literallymycharacter challenge was fun though, thanks @TheBookHippie even the Amazon ads (not pictured) were entertaining and pretty accurate tbh! I AM a sleepy insomniac judgy hot mess who's glued to her phone/camera.

TheBookHippie Ha I love the collage!!!! 2w

BarbaraBB I didn‘t bail but wasn‘t a fan of this book either. I didn‘t like the people nor the plot. 2w
Larkken @TheBookHippie @BillBlume @BarbaraBB so disappointed. At the beginning I was so hopeful -the outdoors vibe was nice and the author really could have done something fun with the female friendships in the camp setting. 2w
TheBookHippie @BillBlume I agree with your friend!!! 2w

WOAH NELLY!! This was an intricately-woven mystery that had me guessing til the very end. Really satisfying and really clever. The author set a hard task for herself with bouncing back and forth amongst sooo many timelines, but it totally worked. The hype is real!!!

Lesliereadsalot Her other books are good too! 3w
BennettBookworm @Lesliereadsalot Oh that‘s very encouraging to hear, thanks! 3w
