This one had a premise that really intrigued me, but the novel itself fell flat. I was looking for a fast moving novel where the woman seemingly is the victim but is actually not and she is holding her date prisoner and who knows what may happen next.

I was at first intrigued by Laura and Rosie being sisters and Laura's concern and determination to find her sister, but a little later in the novel I was just not invested in their story anymore. The Night Before also has multiple povs, which I normally enjoy but this novel just didn’t agree with me. There is a twist I didn’t see coming and when it is revealed you had to take a minute and think about the reality of this scenario in regards to the story. From that point on I was just ready to end the novel but I only had so much left that I continued.

I did listen to the audiobook version and maybe that was the problem for me with this novel. This may be one to actually read versus have read to you.

I would give Ms. Walker another chance in reading another of her novels, but this one just didn’t work for me so I cannot recommend it.
