Emotionally very difficult to read but somehow I still feel like this was an incredible book. I’m torn with my own feelings right now. This book has affected me deeply. I have mixed emotions knowing if I should ever recommend this to anyone, simply because of the disturbing content, but I do think it was very well written for the type of book and genre this is. Sometimes stories are difficult to hear or watch unfold before you but just because it’s making you feel sad or heartbroken doesn’t mean it’s not worth reading or watching or listening to. To me, this is that story.

Crazy but a fun ride! Would recommend for thriller fans - went in a direction I wasn't expecting.

Eu tinha muita curiosidade com este livro desde que vi que ia sair e correspondeu às expectativas que tinha.

Inicialmente achei previsível mas logo surgem reviravoltas que me deixam confusa. A certo ponto, achei que sabia o final e quando lá cheguei foi completamente diferente do que eu pensava. Foi uma boa surpresa.

Li-o muito rápido porque é thriller que nos prende, a escrita é fluída e a história é empolgante.

É a história de uma menina, Jenny, que desapareceu aos 6 anos e regressou 12 anos depois. Enquanto os seus pais estavam super felizes por ela estar de volta e não insistirem com perguntas sobre o que aconteceu este tempo todo, o seu irmão Ben não a recebeu bem e não confiava nela nem no que ela contava.

Os pensamentos de Jenny vão sendo relatados, assim como o que foi vivendo, os traumas e sofremos com ela, apesar de nem tudo ser completamente verdade. Tal como diz na contracapa: até as reviravolta têm reviravoltas.

Só posso dizer: LEIAM! Vale a pena e é super intrigante. Quando achamos que sabemos tudo e como acaba, o final é um murro no estômago.
