Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Group Viking for gifting me a digital ARC of the new novel by Abigail Dean. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
Isabel and Edward's world changed completely when they were victims of a violent home invasion by a serial killer. It became something they couldn't fully talk about together, and they handled that in different ways. When they are brought back together for the killer's sentencing, they're forced to look closer at themselves and their relationship.
I didn't not want to put this book down. It's beautifully written, told in alternating chapters of Edward's voice in the present and Isobel's victim statement. I was so invested in each timeline that I was sorry to switch, only to feel the same at the end of the next chapter. There's so much emotion pouring off the pages - most of us can only imagine what it would be like to go through something like this. Who's to say how we would react? Even the secondary characters evoke emotion and feel so realistic. Will Edward and Isabel finally feel closure and justice? What will their lives look like going forward? The implosion of a love story that never truly died. Don't miss this one.
