📚 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
