Mini Book Review: Thank you to PRH Audio for the complimentary audio! 

It was only a matter of time that I picked this book up as I was already have FOMO over seeing everyone read it. I have never read a Liz Moore book before but I knew she was from the Philly area and that her one book is being made into a movie/limited series. I also did not look up anything about this book but I did see that some people were saying it was more literary fiction rather than mystery. I did not think that at all? I found it was more mystery than lit fic. The whole book you are wondering where these missing siblings (different years - not together) are. I thought the first half of the book was rather slow but as we got close to the midway mark and second half it really took off. There were a lot of characters throughout the book and some had their own POV. My two favorite POVs were a counselor Louise and Judyta the female investigator.  I am not sure if I was truly surprised by the ending? I think I was more surprised by the little brother's mystery rather than Barbara's mystery (that was lackluster). 

I read this book in tandem and I am glad I had my physical book with me while reading because of all the characters and I could look back through the pages. I know this was told in 3rd person POV but I wish we had different narrators for each of the point of views. It would have enhanced the reading experience. 

I am glad I read this and I'll be anxious to hear what others in my book club think of it.
