Thanks to NetGalley, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and Andrea Kleine for the opportunity to read this book.
This is the story of Hope and Eden - two sisters raised in unusual circumstances. They have the same dad but Eden's mom left to find herself and Hope's mom raised them both. When Hope's parents divorced, the sisters traveled by bus to visit their dad every other weekend. Until he got his dates mixed up and forgot. A man in a pickup truck convinced the girls that their dad had sent him to pick them up and took them to his cabin in the woods.
Fast forward 20 years later and Hope receives a letter that their kidnapper, Larry, is up for parole. Having no real job or place to live, she decides to make it her mission to find Eden, who left the family early and no one knows where she is. The chapters alternate with Hope's road trip and the kidnapping incident.
A book about how our past defines us, this was just an average read for me. I couldn't quite connect with any of the characters too much.
