THRILLER BOOK REVIEW! 😱
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell
Genre: Thriller, Mystery, Suspense
A mother loses her child for 10 years but she has never given up hope of finding her daughter.
My thoughts:
●Ellie suddenly disappeared and her family didn't look around the neighborhood when she's just a few kilometers away, she was not even seen by anyone. Her parents and the police could've done better not just declaring her case as a "runaway".
●Everytime the POV switches to mom, I roll my eyes. (Sorry, I just find her self-centered) 😭 also saying that the middle child should've been the one to disappear? Total nutcase.
Honestly, I get why she doesn't get along with Hanna.
●This book has so much potential, but got messy towards the end.
●I feel bad for Ellie especially in thag letter. She doesn't deserve anything that happened to her. 💔
Overall? It's still a good read. One of Lisa J's heartbreaking novel.
