Thanks to NetGalley, Lake Union and the author for the opportunity to read and review this book!
It's hard to believe that this is a debut novel, and I'm going to be on the lookout for her future works. This was a suspenseful novel without feeling too suspenseful; in other words, there was a lot of focus on the characters.
Aimee is getting ready to marry her childhood best friend when he goes missing. Instead of getting married, she ends up going to his funeral on their wedding date. Aimee just can't let go of James - she never saw his body and she just doesn't feel any closure. Those feelings multiply when a mysterious woman tells her that she believes James is still alive.
While holding on to that hope and still not letting go, she manages to move on. She begins a new career and possibly an interest in a new man. Until she has to see for herself is James is alive or dead.
The author deftly gives you background information into the characters while moving on in the story, again letting you into the characters' feelings while exploring the mystery.
This book will leave you wanting more - possibly a sequel and definitely more books to come from this author!
