Then She Was Gone: From the number one bestselling author of The Family Upstairs

Product Information

But, when Laurel finally gets to meet Poppy, she is unnerved by the uncanny resemblance to her daughter, Ellie. i definitely would have loved this more if my predictions had been right, but thats completely my own fault.

I'm going to avoid any details here, as I want you to have the most fabulous reading experience with this one possible, so I'll stick to describing it with some buzz words. S. Geological Survey, leading to “immediate suspension of the National Volcano Early Warning System,” and there’s always someone around looking to monetize the natural disaster and the sasquatch-y onslaught that follows. One of those curdled sobs that gets first sucked in and then expelled, halfway to a burst of laughter. Laurel’s life has been on hold in many ways since her daughter’s death, but she meets a new man, Floyd, and finds herself drawn in by his charm.

You know, how you get to forty and you suddenly stop giving a sh** about all the stupid things you worried about your whole life. For me this one was a little difficult to read because the behavior of this probable psychopath was just so twisted and ugly. After finishing this book I really had to wait a few days to sort of “SETTLE ME DOWN” as this mystery touched some very delicate feelings in me, more so than her first two books.

Noelle then impregnates Ellie using sperm from a donor, and Ellie gives birth to a little girl, Poppy. If you are always loyal, honest, and supportive with each other and never complain about each other to other people, there is a high probability that you are ideal candidates for mutual or unconditional love. I think this is one of those books that I had such high hopes for that I let myself expect too much. Now, Laurel Mack’s life is very different: her marriage fell apart years ago and her relationship with her remaining children is tenuous.

As Laurel unravels the horrors of Poppy's origins and Floyd's true intentions, she comes to terms with the loss of her daughter and reconciling with the children she still has. Ten years later, Ellie’s remains and her backpack are found, though the police are unable to determine the reasons for her disappearance and death.

Sharply written with twists and turns, Jewell’s latest will please fans of Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train, or Luckiest Girl Alive. maybe i wont be playing the whole ‘predict what happens based on the synopsis only’ game because it turns out i only got 1 out of 4 guesses right and its not a good look for my ego. So many questions without answers can wear a person down, can leave a hole, and can prevent a person from fully moving on with one's life. I found an old makeup bag of yours and she applied some mascara, rubbed some colour into her waxy cheeks. heres what i think for this one: floyd was involved in ellies disappearance (i dont think it will be a kidnapping, but maybe manipulated to run away?

THEN SHE WAS GONE by LISA JEWELL is a breathtaking, thrilling, unputdownable, and suspenseful psychological thriller novel that had me totally engrossed and interested right from the very first page.

In the end the director makes a speech for his defence, which although reasonable is impossible to accept, which he realises himself and takes the consequences. There were too many unanswered questions and she just knew that Ellie wouldn't simply walk away from the life she loved.

She's disarmed by Floyd’s charm, but when she meets his young daughter, Poppy, Laurel is startled by her resemblance to Ellie.
