Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Group Putnam/GP Putnam Sons for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by Leah Konen - 5 stars!
anie is struggling with new motherhood and relying heavily on her husband, Max, to help out. When he disappears one night, she is beside herself with worry. He was the perfect dad - why would he leave? Max's parents and best friend don't see as concerned as she is. Then when it's discovered that a local woman has been murdered and Max is a potential suspect, Janie wonders if she ever knew him.
What a great book on so many levels. It's a twisty thriller that will leave you on the edge of your seat trying to figure it all out. Both Janie and Max are keeping secrets and Janie worries that what she confessed to Max right before he left is the cause of his disappearance. It's also a look at the other side of motherhood - when postpartum depression hits and nothing feels right. This is such an unexplored subject - you just have to look at Pinterest or social media to see how motherhood is "supposed to be." If your life doesn't look like that, you are shamed both internally and externally. We as women need to be kinder to each other and - as the Publishers Weekly review of this book showed - change the view of women "histrionics." Maddening. Definitely a must read book!
