📚 Review: The Night She Disappeared by Lisa Jewell

I’ve read a couple of Lisa Jewell’s books before and haven’t exactly been a fan—but this one surprised me. It started out slow, and for a while, I found myself struggling to pick it back up. But once I hit the final 100 pages, I was hooked. The story took a twisty turn that pulled me in, and I really appreciated how every loose end was tied up by the end. It’s not a favorite, but it’s definitely a solid read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5

Then She Was Gone-let’s talk about it

Honestly I have no words for how insane this book was. Definitely not what I was expecting but I also cannot stop talking about it. It’s a mix between romance and true crime when a 15 year old girl goes missing and 10 years later her family starts getting answers but none of the answers they receiv
