About this listen
Abigail Gibson is gone.
The day after Christmas, she walks out of her home in the suburbs, leaving behind a strange note on the kitchen table...and her 10-year-old son, Sam. When her sister Gillian gets the call, she can barely believe it: Abigail has always been a little, well, unreliable, but she hasn’t done anything like this in a decade - not since Sam was born.
Now, Gillian and her husband are taking care of Sam while they wait for news of Abigail. But things aren’t so great in Gillian’s home, where, after months of struggling to get pregnant, her marriage is starting to show cracks she never thought she’d see, and her husband's keeping secrets she's not sure she wants to unravel. Meanwhile as clues start to turn up about where Abigail might be, Gillian's forced to confront the two big questions that will upend her world: What secrets is her sister hiding...and is she ever coming back?
From the best-selling author of The Silent Daughter and The First Wife's Secret comes this gripping new novel about buried pasts, old secrets, and the risky choices we make for love. Perfect holiday listening for fans of Kerry Lonsdale, Liane Moriarty, and Jodi Picoult.

Story
"Schoolgirl missing", the ticker reads, and the camera cuts to a girl’s face. Blonde hair waterfalling over her shoulders, serious eyes, lips a little parted like she’s about to speak. That’s when I realize I’ve been holding my breath, because the gasp when I inhale almost chokes me. Sadie Kelly has lost her job. Until last month, she was a teacher at Horton College - the same high school she went to 10 years ago along with her best friend, Fiona.

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

Whiny and narcissistic
It’s not often I don’t finish a book, but I suffered through this one as long as I could. The narrator had two modes, one speaking, and one whining and everything sounding overly dramatic. The book was a study in narcissistic behavior of a bunch of people, and was absolutely awful. Don’t waste your time.
