As I always say, though, just read it for yourself if you feel so inclined. But if you’re looking for twists and turns and action and moments that wow you, skip it.

The story follows Hannah and her step-daughter Bailey as they try to find common ground as well as information on where their husband/father could have disappeared to and why. I love a good thriller but this was not that. The way it was described did not match what it actually was. I think that’s the thing, this wasn’t my thing. At first, I was reading everything thinking there were hidden meanings in the words but I soon realized there weren’t hidden meanings at all and I was wasting my time.ĭid I enjoy parts of this book? Sure. I felt like I didn’t need all the information I was being given. This book was just reading about a day in the life with a hint of action and intrigue sprinkled sparingly. The rate at which we found out new information in this book was just painfully slow.
A man just tells his wife to protect his daughter, her stepdaughter, and leaves a large sum of money and then disappears? Cool.
