Thrillers are one of my most favourite genres to read so I was truly excited for this one. I am happy that I wasn't left disappointed.

The story jumps between before and after the disappearance of Abbie's daughter Sarah and how having no answers after six years of her being missing without answers still haunts her.

“It's okay to be happy.”“I know.”“Do you?”

I had a miscarriage when I was seventeen years old and there were so many times when I would have to remind myself that it was okay to find happiness in moments in my life so this quote hit me really hard and I had to immediately highlight it.

It might be a silly thing to be happy about but the author is Australian and this story is set in Australia. It's not often I see things being set there so it made me really happy to be able to read this and support a fellow Australian.

I was so invested in this story from start to finish. It kept me on the edge of my seat and left me anxious to see what happened next which is exactly what you want when it comes to stories like these. I would definitely recommend this to people who enjoy thrillers!

Thank you to NetGalley and Text Publishing for providing me this arc!
