GN Jessica Strawser brings us an intriguing tale about loveable people that feel like good friends. This is a fast read, an interesting puzzle, and a sound ending.
I was so excited to get my hot little hands on Jessica Strawser's second novel and I wasn't disappointed. One night goes terribly awry amongst neighbors and friends and when the women wake up in the AM, bleary-eyed, one of them, Kristin, has disappeared, taking her children with her, leaving an estranged husband in her wake.
I won this book through a Giveaway on goodreads and I absolutely loved it. This one reminded me of Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty with a good group of friends.
Having loved Jessica Strawser's debut Almost Missed You, I was so excited to read this one ... and it did not disappoint!
I am shocked how it ended, actually I did not even see it. I thought I had it figured out but boy was I wrong.
In NOT THAT I COULD TELL, Strawser has wrapped a mystery into the fabric of a tightly knit community. When Kristin, recently separated from her husband, leaves in the middle of the night after a night of drinking with her girlfriends, her neighbors can't help but wonder: Did she leave of her own accord?
Kristin and her four year-old twins disappear without a trace from their seemingly perfect lives. Her neighbors are all bewildered.
Quite an interesting turn of events at the ending that I didn't think was coming to that. I enjoy a book that can pleasantly surprise me like that.
I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway and this is my unbiased review. I loved this book so much!
I received an advanced review copy of this book from The Great Thoughts Ninja Review Team. All opinions are my own.
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for an e-ARC of this title, in exchange for my honests opinion.
I loved her first novel so I knew this one would be good and it did not disappoint! When friends have a "girls' night" at one of their homes, they have no idea that by the next morning one of them will have disappeared with her twins.
So....wow.
This book was amazing! It has been quite a while since I have read a book that so fully engrossed me.
For readers of "Big Little Lies" by Liane Moriarty and fans of B.A.
