Many thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for gifting me a digital ARC of this thriller by Dandy Smith. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!
Elodie's dream has always been to become a writer. She even quit her day job to purse writing full time. But her latest book was rejected and she's feeling desperate. She makes one small mistake telling a friend that she got a book deal that she really didn't. Then things veer completely out of control and Elodie is abducted.
This story spools out from Elodie's POV as well as alternating chapters from her supposedly more perfect sister, Ada. Ada's life isn't quite as perfect as everyone seems to think, and she will do anything to find her missing sister. I liked the short, alternating chapters, and the tension built throughout the story. Both Elodie and Ada are relatable characters, and you can easily see how Elodie felt she needed to stretch the truth. There was a theme running throughout the book about the validity of a woman's choice to not have children which probably could have been left out, but this was an entertaining read from start to finish.
