When I finish a book right before bed and wake up still thinking about it, that’s the sign of a good book. This one had everything I love: interesting and complicated characters, beautiful writing, and situations that have you holding your breath as you turn the pages quickly. 

Cara meets Brendan, a member of Army Special Forces and has an instant connection. But Brendan’s military career might not be all it seems as he struggles with what Cara thinks is PTSD. When Brendan disappears with their baby she searches for years, never giving up hope she’ll find them. 

If you enjoy novels that switch from present to past, giving you small glimpses of the story each time and building to a crescendo then this one is for you. If you’re not a fan of character driven novels with a slow/medium pace then you might not enjoy it. But it was an easy 5 star for me, so beautifully written and such a unique story.
