2nd book for the Booktubeathon is complete! I read this all day today and holy shit it was so good. I can't believe I've had two five star books in a row, this never happens for me. Earlier this year I read Then She Was Gone by this author and that was also a five star book for me and I decided I wanted to read more form this author! Now I'm sure I need to get my hands on ALL of her books, she's an amazing writer!

This is a thriller/mystery that follows two women. The first woman Alice has three kids and she's a single Mother who lives on the beach. She she's a suspicious man on the beach and when she approaches him he says he doesn't remember who he is or what his name even is. In alternating chapters we follow another woman named Lily who's husband just disappeared only a few weeks after they got married and she doesn't know what could have possibly happened to him. Both of these stories intertwine in the most interesting way and this book kept me guessing until the end.

The thing I love most about Lisa Jewell's thrillers is that she makes you care about the characters. Both thrillers that I've read from her have been so emotionally investing and made my heart psychically hurt and made my want to cry by the end. That's how a thriller should be written. I couldn't put this book down because I had to know what happened and I got so emotionally invested with every single character. They just feel so real to me.

Frank/Gray/Graham is my favorite and I feel so terrible for him. He deals with significant memory loss due to significant trauma in his life. That scene of him being forced to hear his sister almost getting raped by that fucking douche bag killed me. And then his sister died at sea with that fucking psychopath and his Dad had a heart attack trying to save them. He lost everything in one night and oh my god it was so fucking tragic. I fucking hated Mark so much in this book, like it's been a while since I've hated a character so much. Just because his sister didn't want to fuck Mark that's pretty much why he went to extremes.

But god damn. What an amazing story. I won't be forgetting this one anytime soon. I need to read all of Lisa Jewell's other books now.

This book completed the Booktubeathon challenge for: Read a book with a beautiful spine.
