Yes, there are many stories constructed around the bones of rich versus poor, pregnancy, pay off and so forth. The ideas of connectivity and coincidence in determining life events makes for good discussion points. What if…

I read into the wee hours because that kept me from having the space to think about my situation. Reading is an escape that has sometimes evolved into a therapy.

Reading has always been my preferred escape from real life. Now, I use it to escape doing household chores, lol.

I did not. It was too predictable…a story that has been told a thousand times. However, it’s a fast read. Just one girl’s opinion. YMMV

I was torn between this one and The Secret Keeper (Kate Morton), so I haven’t read this one yet…no Spoilers please…

Would you recommend it?

I agree that there are times when we read to immerse in another world, and to forget our own challenges. What do you think?

Hmm. As I was reading earlier in the novel, I thought that Daniel would somehow be related to a member of Claire’s family, (including in-laws) so that foreshadowing worked well.

I thought the coffee shop guy was going to be connected somehow – like maybe his father was the missing child, and the husband’s family was somehow responsible. IDK – something to bring it all together. I definitely did NOT want her to get back together with her husband – that came out of nowhere and was poorly done.

I enjoyed it as a quick read.  I do like dual time lines in books.  I knew there had to be some connection with the bracelet.

I was hoping for something a little different.
