Reviewer’s Thoughts:

I liked this book because of the mystery aspect. It’s definitely a book for the ladies, though. At first, you’re terrified for Claire–her husband is missing, two small kids & a house to maintain and she has no idea what their finances are like because Greg had managed all of that.

It’s an emotional roller coaster as a few clues roll in here & there. Did Greg leave of his own free will? Is he dead or alive? Was he having an affair? Caught up in criminal activity? You are right there with Claire as she navigates all of the different emotions surrounding the possible reasons her husband would leave his idyllic life. Moretti portrayed a very honest look at how any of us would feel in this situation. Claire learns to accept that she’s on her own and learns to do repairs & chores around the house & even learns to pay the bills, etc. The story also adds in her in complicated relationship with her lifelong friend, Drew. I was always rooting for Claire’s well-being, whether she & Drew sort out their feelings or Greg turns up alive, should she move on? Take Greg back?…definitely a emotional ride up to the end.

I was just happy there was a resolution at the end of the story. I was so afraid Moretti was going to leave me hanging, but she didn’t! I’m not going to say it was a “happily ever after”, but I do think it was a believable ending.

A good read!
