This is a DNF @ 52% review, and that's why I'm not leaving a star rating. Despite being written well and being truly engaging, this read turned out to be far too triggering for me. It's about a mother suddenly suspecting that she met a child who was abducted and thought dead about 20 years ago. There's lots of talk about depression (for multiple of the characters), lots of discussion about guilt and just general human manipulations. I guess the fact that it gave me anxiety attacks means it was written well and was quite tense, but I guess I was just not the person to read a book like that. I might have expected a completely different story when I read the blurb. However, if you like psychological thrillers and don't get triggered by anxiety, depression, child abduction, controlling [adoptive] mothers and guilt discussion, I'm sure you'll love this. Like I said, it is written well. Just not for me.
