Erika Cass has a perfect family and a perfect life. Until the evening when two detectives show up at her front door. A high school girl has vanished from Erika's quiet suburban neighborhood. The police suspect the worst - murder. And Erika's teenage son, Liam, was the last person to see the girl alive. Erika has always sensed something dark and disturbed in her seemingly perfect older child. She wants to believe he's innocent, but as the evidence mounts, she can't deny the truth - Liam may have done the unthinkable.

Story
Tess Strebel can’t recognize her own face. She can’t recognize her home. Her bedroom is unfamiliar. And she can’t remember the handsome stranger lying next to her in bed. A stranger who claims he’s her husband. Tess reads a letter in her own handwriting, composed during a rare lucid day, explaining her life as it now exists: she was in a terrible car accident one year ago. Every morning, she wakes up unable to remember most of the last decade. Including her own wedding.

My husband is dead. I attended his funeral. I watched his casket be lowered six feet into the ground. (Actually, it may have been only five feet, but that still seems like more than enough.) And then we ate an array of finger sandwiches and deviled eggs and miniature beef wellingtons that cost more than my first car. My point is, Grant is gone. And so are all his many, many deep, dark secrets which I never really ever bothered to ask him about. He is never coming back.

Great narration, a little bit confusing storyline, especially with all the twists are revealed
I’m obsessed with Freida McFadden and pretty much worship the computer that she writes on lol, but I was a little bit confused by the ending in this book. We went back in time but we weren’t told that and then we were jumping from character to character so much that I was getting really confused. All of a sudden character a, was actually character B, character C was actually character D etc. you get the picture. It might just be that I’m super tired and thus was having trouble concentrating but I wasn’t terribly crazy about this book. So the very last twist about the Grandpa selling fake 1st editions was great. I loved that reveal. But me not liking this book as much could be because I’ve read so many of her others which were all five out of fives for me. The bar was set so high, so it’s not really her fault, because as I said, she’s pretty amazing lol.

I found this book to be boring. I kept waiting for the something to happen. And then 15 minutes at the end of the book a whole bunch of twists that were quite confusing.

Good but....
I LOVE Freida's work. I've listened to many of her books and have what I haven't listened to, they are in my Wish List. So, it is hard for me not to give this 4 or 5 starts. I enjoyed the book, just not as much as her others. I found the ending to be confusing and found myself going back to re-listen to the ending. Honestly, I was expecting this to be a better listen than what it was.
