Kat remembers the days when her only daughter Amy wouldn't leave her side. Amy was the baby who cried when you walked out of the room, the toddler who was too shy to speak to strangers, the small child who clung to Kat's legs in the school playground.
But now Amy is grown up, and Amy is gone – to university in a town several hours away. Kat's house – which once felt too full, too noisy, too busy – is deathly quiet, and Kat awaits the daily phone call to tell her that her beloved daughter is thriving and happy.
But one day Amy doesn’t call. Kat’s husband and friends think she is being paranoid – surely Amy is just out, having fun with her friends. But Kat knows right away that something is very wrong. Her daughter would never forget to call. She would never just disappear... After all, Amy has nothing to run from. Or does she?
A gripping and suspenseful psychological thriller with more twists and turns than a rollercoaster. Fans of The Wife Between Us, The Girl Before and Gone Girl will be gripped by this unputdownable story about a mother’s obsessive love for her child.
Kat is an overprotective mom. She loves her daughter more than anything. This book definitely explored what happens when secrets are kept between a mother and her child as the child leaves the nest. There were great sections of this book that I loved. I enjoyed trying to piece together what happened to Amy and I got somewhat close. The downfall of this book was just many parts felt repetitious and the epilogue was not needed at all. This book did take a unique look at the relationship between parents and grown children, which I thought was well done.
