This has never happened before
This book was recommended by a few ladies in my book club so I decided to read it. Long story short , I could not finish! The book was just too deep for me. The author did an amazing job making this story come to life, but it was just too real for me. The suspense and betrayal was too much for me to handle so I stopped. But this book is a great read especially if thrilling twist and turns are your thing.
What the book is about:
More than twenty years ago, Claire and Lydia’s teenaged sister Julia vanished without a trace. The two women have not spoken since, and now their lives could not be more different. Claire is the glamorous trophy wife of an Atlanta millionaire. Lydia, a single mother, dates an ex-con and struggles to make ends meet. But neither has recovered from the horror and heartbreak of their shared loss—a devastating wound that's cruelly ripped open when Claire's husband is killed.
The disappearance of a teenage girl and the murder of a middle-aged man, almost a quarter-century apart: what could connect them? Forming a wary truce, the surviving sisters look to the past to find the truth, unearthing the secrets that destroyed their family all those years ago . . . and uncovering the possibility of redemption, and revenge, where they least expect it.

With a narrative that oscillates between two pivotal events—a young girl's disappearance and a murder nearly twenty-five years later—the story offers an intricate mystery waiting to be uncovered. The author skillfully weaves in elements of suspense, making this book a must-read for fans of crime thrillers. As readers follow Claire and Lydia's tense reunion, they will find themselves captivated by the unfolding drama, exploring themes of redemption and revenge. If you're looking for a book that guarantees both emotional depth and exhilarating twists, this title is certain to be a contender for book of the year, celebrated by critics such as Lee Child.
