I enjoyed this read, it is definitely a page turner, as I read it in two sittings.
Six year old Jenny was walking to her friends house, but she never made it. Now, twelve years later, she returns home. Where was she? And why did she take so long to come home? The more questions that are asked of her, the more she can't answer. (As a mother, I would never let my young children walk to a friend's house by themselves. I don't care that it was just two doors down. I would have made sure my child got there, so that made me question things.)
Jenny is a great narrator. I liked her. I wanted more background on Jenny of her life with Father and Mother, though. How did she get away? (I can't say more without giving up too much information on the plot.) I get it that this was more of her story with the Kristal family.
I did guess one twist in the story. I was super proud of my thriller-reading self. Until I didn't.
Thank you to NetGalley and Dutton for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.
